equation(1) h = 3t^2 a) find h when t=5 b)find t when h=108

for part AYou would but the t2 into brackets , then substitute t=5 to get h=3(52) using BIDMAS do the 52 = 25 so that h=3(25) so you end up with h=75
for part B fir...

If a curve has equation y = (-8/3)x^3 - 2x^2 + 4x + 18, find the two x coordinates of the stationary points of this curve.

The first step in solving this question is to differentiate equation y with respect to x. To differentiate a given 'x' term in an equation use the following method --> xn becomes nx(n-1...

A curve has equation y=x^2 + 2x +5. Find the coordinates of the point at which the gradient is equal to 1.

dy/dx= 2x+2 , gradient is equal to 1 so dy/dx also equals 1.1=2x+2-1=2xx=-1/2plug this value of x into the equation to get y=17/4

Find the derivative, dy/dx, of y = 8xcos(3x).

Let u= 8x then du/dx = 8Let v= cos(3x) then dv/dx = -3sin(3x)Therefore using the product rule: dy/dx = (cos(3x))(8) + (8x)(-3sin(3x))So dy/dx = 8cos(3x) - 24xsin(3x) .
