Put simply, mutually exclusive events cannot occur at the same time, e.g when tossing a coin, the result can either be heads or tails but cannot be both. Independence of events means the occurrence of one...

When differentiating an equation (y) you find the equation of the gradient, called dy/dx. The rule for differentiating a power of x is given below:y=x^n dy/dx= nx^(n-1)Applying this rule to this question ...

The circle can be written (x+3)²+(y+5)^2 = 41 and so has center (-3,-5).
The gradient through the center and the point (-8,-1) is;m = (-5+1)/(-3+8) = -4/5.
The tangent line is perpend...
