sin(x)/(cos(x)+1) + cos(x)/(sin(x)+1) = 1

sin^2(x) + sin(x) + cos^2(x) + cos(x) = cos(x)sin(x) + cos(x) + sin(x) +1

(sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) =1) Therefore;

1 +sin(x) + cos(x) = cos(x)sin(x) + sin(x) +cos(x) +1

Cancelling out on b...

Solve 3x^2 + 6x – 2 = 0 Give your solutions correct to 2 decimal places.

3x²+ 6x - 2 = 0 When we have a polynomial with powers of x up to 2 (a quadratic equation) we can apply the quadratic formula : -b ± root(b²-4ac)/2a where your equation is in the for...

Given y = x^3 + 4x + 1, find the value of dy/dx when x=3

To differentiate this equation, you must bring the power of each x term down to the front and reduce the power of x by 1, with constants disappearing:

dy/dx = 3x^3-1 + (41)*x

(a) show that 3/10 + 2/15 = 13/30 (b) show that 2 5/8 ÷ 1 1/6 = 2 1/4

(a) In order to add or subtract any fractions, they must first have a common denominator. For this example, I will take this to be 30. Looking at 3/10: in order to change the denomintor to 30, we must mul...
