Integrate tan (x) with respect to x.

I = ∫ Tan (x) dx= ∫ (sin(x)) / (cos(x)) dx

We see that this is close to the standard integral ∫ F'(x) / F(x) dx = Ln (F(x)) + C

Find the tangent to y = x^2 - 4x + 9 at the point (3,15)

First find dy/dx:

dy/dx = 4x - 4

And thus at (3,15):

dy/dx = 12 - 4 = 8 = m (as m is the gradient of a curve)

So using y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) where...

Find the derivative (dy/dx) of the curve equation x^2 -y^2 +y = 1.

Most of the differentiation problems require us to apply one of the well known rules, be it product rule, quotient rule or chain rule. But those problems have one thing in common: explicite formula for y...

How do I solve a quadratic equation?

All quadratic equations can be written in the form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b and c are constants. Firstly, check whether you can easily factorise the equation into the form (x + p)(x + q) = ...
