The sides of an equilateral triangle are given by the expressions x+y, 2y-1 and 3y-2x+1. Find the values of x and y.

This question test knowledge of the geometry of equilateral triangles and the students ability to solve linear equations.
First we note that an equilateral triangle has equal sides. Then we can write...

A = {multiples of 5 between 14 and 26}. B = {odd numbers between 14 and 26}. List the members of A∪B and A∩B.

First write down explicitly what the elements of A and B are.A={15,20,25}, B={15,17,19,21,23,25}.
Remember ∪ means OR. So A ∪ B is the set of items which are in either A OR B. This is {15,17,19,21,23...

∫2x(x+2)^(1/2) dx evaluated from 0->2

First make a substitution so we can apply the power rule ∫xn dx = (xn+1)/(n+1) + C more simply. Can see u=x+2 means (x+2)1/2 -> u1/2 and so will help us appl...
