Find the coordinate of the turning point of the curve y = x^2 - 10x + 7, by completing the square

First, we need to complete the square. We take the first part of the equation ignoring the constant ( + 7).  

y = x2 - 10x , we want to change the form of this equation from  x2

How do you integrate ln(x) with respect to x?

Rewrite ln(x) as 1ln(x) then integrate by parts.  The formula for integration by parts is  uv' = uv -  vu', here use u = ln(x) and v' = 1.  By differentiating u we get u' = 1/x, an...

Differentiate the function f(x) = sin(x)/(x^2 +1) , giving your answer in the form of a single fraction. Is x=0 a stationary point of this curve?

The key concepts to apply in this question will be the product and chain rules, namely: if f(x)=g(x)h(h), then f'(x)=g(x)h'(x) + g'(x)h(x), and if h(x)=u(v(x)), then h'(x)=u'(v(x))v'(x). Equivalently, you...

Show that: [sin(2a)] / [1+cos(2a)] = tan(a)

We start by expanding out the double trigonometric terms (sin(2a)) using the double angle formula, giving us: [2sin(a)cos(a)] / [1+cos^2(a) - sin^2(a)]. Next we spot that on the denominator (bottom half o...
