Find the coordinates and the point of intersection between the lines 8x + 7y = 11 and y = 5x + 2

Substitute y = 5x + 2 into 8x + 7y = 11 to get, 8x + 7(5x + 2) = 11This simplifies down to 8x + 35x + 14 = 11And further simplifies to 43x = -3 giving the solution x = -3/43Substituting the x solution bac...

a)By completing the square, prove the quadratic formula starting from ax^2+bx+c=0, b) hence, or otherwise solve 3x^2 + 7x -2= 9, to 3s.f.

a)starting from ax²+bx+c=0, divide through by a, x²+(b/a)x+c/a=0, complete the square (x+(b/2a))²-(b/2a)² +c/a=0, expand (x+(b/2a))²-(b²/4...

find the diffrential of 3sin2x+4cos2x

dy/dx=6cos2x-8sin2xExplanation: cos x difrentiates to -sinx, we must times the coefficient of cos2x,(4) , by the differential of 2x (ie 2), giving -(4x2)sin2x.Similarly, sinx differentiates cosx, so using...

A curve has equation y = e^(3x-x^3) . Find the exact values of the coordinates of the stationary points of the curve and determine the nature of these stationary points.

In order to find the stationary points we need to find the first derivative, set it to 0 and solve for x. We can then use this value to find the value for y.y = e^{(3x-x^3)}We know for the derivat...
