Factorise the quadratic equation: x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0 and hence find the two solutions to the equation.

  1. Start by writing the equation out again: x2 + 5x + 6 = 0

  2. I do it by thinking which two numbers add together to = 5 and which same two numbers multiply to = 6. The an...

Find the equation of the tangent to the curve y = (5x+4)/(3x-8) at the point (2, -7).

Firstly, we need to find the gradient at this point on the curve as the tangent will have the same gradient. So to find the gradient of the curve or in other words, dy/dx, we differentiate the equation. T...
