How do I solve simultaneous equations graphically? e.g (1) 4x - 3y = 11 (2) 3x + 2y = 4

Firstly, let's rewrite each of these equations as the equation of a line i.e. in terms of y. So we have:

(1) y = 4x/3 - 11/3

(2) y = 2 - 3x/2

Draw line (1) on a graph. The (x,y) co-or...

Calculate the volume of revolution generated by the function, f(x) = (3^x)√x, for the domain x = [0, 1]

First we recall the general formula for the volume of revolution: V = π ∫ [f(x)]² dx Substituting our function, this gives: V = π ∫₀¹ (3^x)² x dx We could write (3^x)² as 3^(2x), or we could notice that t...
