Show that (x + 1)(x + 3)(x + 5) can be written in the form ax^3 + bx^2 + c^x + d where a, b, c and d are positive integers.

The way to go about a question like this is to break it down into steps; rather than trying to multiply all the brackets at once expand two first then multiply by the third. ------------------------------...

A curve has the equation, 6x^2 +3xy−y^2 +6=0 and passes through the point A (-5, 10). Find the equation of the normal to the curve at A.

Use implicit differentiation on original equation-
12x + 3x(dy/dx) + 3y - 2y(dy/dx) = 0
dy/dx= -12x -3y/(3x-2y) at A, x= -5 and y= 10 therefore, dy/dx=-6/7

To find the normal of t...
