(4x + 3)/(x + 1) + 2 = 8

Firstly minus the 2 from both sides

(4x + 3)/(x + 1) = 6

Then multiply both sides by the denominator (x + 1)

4x + 3 = 6(x + 1)

Expand the bracke...

The equation of a circle is (x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2, where (a,b) is the centre of the circle, and r is the radius. To condense our equation into this form we have to use the technique of completing the sq...

Let's solve for x first by substituting y in terms of x.

4x-y=30

y=4x-30

3x+2y=3x+2(4x-30)=3x+8x-60=11x-60

11x-60=17

11x=77

x=7

Now let's solve for y by su...

To find the turning points of a curve one must find the values of x which satisfy dy/dx = 0. To further determine what type of turning point this is you need to compute the second derivative with respect ...

The 2 equations are: 1) x² + y² = 29 2) y-x=3 In this kind of simultaneous equation, you cannot take it away from each other. Instead, you need to substitue. To do so, rearrange the ...
