First we need to find the intersection point(s) of L and C so set 6x-x²=16-2x and rearrange to get x²-8x+16=0 so (x-4)²=0.Repeated root so line is tangent to the curve at ...

rewrite the equation in a more helpful way:y=8x² + 2x^-1 differentiate:dy/dx = 16x -2x^-2set equal to 0 and solve for x16x -2x^-2 = 016x -2/ x²=016x= 2/...

To find out how many students take French, start by finding out how many boys take it, and then how many girls, and the sum of these will be the total number of students taking French.There are 720 boys, ...

In these types of question, you need to find out how the integer relates to the new integer - it will be by integrals. We can see that 9 is just 3 x 3 which is 3^2. Thus we now have 3^2(3x +1). As we know...

Let's start by recalling that two lines are parallel when their gradients are equal. We know that the gradient of the line y=mx+c, is m. So the gradient of L1 is 5 as the equation of the line is already i...
