Solve the quadratic inequality x^2+x-6>/= 0.

First equate the equation to zero and solve it. To solve the quadratic equation, find the multiples that make '-6' and within this which have a total sum of 1. By this method we can figure out the two bracke...

x/(2x-3) + 4/(x+1) =1 [5 mark question]

We have 2 fractions we want to get rid off to make it easier, so what we do is multiply both sides by the things we want to get rid off.In this case we multiply both sides by (2x-3)(x+1)This gives us x(x+1) ...

use the substitution u=2+ln(x) to show that int(e,1(ln(x)/x(2+ln(x)^2))dx)=p+ln(q) , where p and q are rational numbers.

So u=2+lnx, therefore du/dx=1/x , we can work out the new upper and new lower limit by substitute in e and 1 into 2+lnx , and we get 2+ln(e)=3 , 2+ln(1)=2Rearrange the differential we get dx=xdu , substitute...

Solve the quadratic inequality: x^2 - 5x + 4 < 0

x 2 -5x+4 &lt;0First we ignore the inequality and try to solve the equation x 2 -5x+4=0, which we do via factorising (x-4)(x-1)=0. x = 4 or x=1We draw the graph using our solution, going through the points o...

Solve the following simultaneous equations to find x and y.

2x 2 - 2y = 282y - 4 = 12x y - 2 = 6xy = 6x + 2 Substitute y = 6x + 2 2x 2 - 2(6x + 2) = 282x 2 - 12x - 4 = 282(x 2 - 6x - 2) = 28x 2 - 6x - 2 = 14x 2 - 6x - 16 = 0(x - 8)(x + 2) = 0 if x = 8 then y = 50if x...
