The nth term of a sequence is 8(2^n + 2^(6n-7)). a) Without a calculator, find the 2nd term of this sequence, b)​​​​​​​ Express the formula in the form 2^x + 2^y

To find a) just plug in the number two to all places where n appears. In this case 8(2^2 + 2^(6 * 2 - 7))  and then number crunch. 8(4+2^5) -> 8 * (4 + 32) -> 8 * 36= 288.

To find part b, we ...

Simplify fully: (7x^2 - 21x)/(x^2 + 2x - 15)

This one is quite complicated to answer typed up like this and i would definitley use a white board Show that 7x^2 - 21x can be come x(7x-21) which can in turn become 7x(x-3) Show that x^2 + 2x - 15 can b...

A tank is filled with water up to the height H0. At the bottom of the tank, there is a tap which is opened at t=0. How does the height of liquid change with time?(Hint: dH/dt is proportional to -H)

This is a typical C4 differential equation question. The same algorithm could be used for a lot of other problems.

First of all, from the hint we have that dH/dt = -kH (1).

We need to separa...

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...
