The curve C has equation: (x-y)^2 = 6x +5y -4. Use Implicit differentiation to find dy/dx in terms of x and y. The point B with coordinates (4, 2) lies on C. The normal to C at B meets the x-axis at point A. Find the x-coordinate of A.

We start off by differentiating the equation implicitly which will give us:2(x-y) -2(x-y)dy/dx = 6 + 5dy/dxThen we rearrange to get dy/dx on it's own:dy/dx = (2x-2y-6)/(2x-2y+5)
For the second part o...

A circular table has a diameter 140 cm. Calculate the area of the table in cm^2, leaving your answer as a multiple of pi.

The equation for a circle is pi x radius x radius. So,first we need to find the radius which is half the diameter, 140 divided by 2 equals 70 cm. As the question asks for the answer as a multiple of pi th...

Find the interserction points of: The circle, x^2+(y-1)^2=18 and the line, y=x+1.

To solve this question, we have to use substitution. We substitute the line equation,y=x+1, into the circle equation so that we get, x^2 + (x+1-1)^2=18. This reduces to 2x^2 = 18, then dividing both sides...

Sean drives from Manchester to Gretna Green. He drives at an average speed of 50 mph for the first three hours. He then breaks and drives the final 150 miles at 30 mph. Sean thinks his average speed is 40 mph ,is he correct?

This is a relatively complicated mechanics question requiring the student to put aside their initial assumption and work with the actual meaning of average speed. In order to do this the student must find...
