Use the binomial series to find the expansion of 1/(2+5x)^3 in ascending powers of x up to x^3 (|x|<2/5)

We want to rearrange the expression to the form (1+y)^n so we can use the general result: (1+y)^n=1+ny+[n(n-1)/2]y^2+[n(n-1)(n-2)/3!]y^3+... 1/(2+5x)^3 = (2+5x)^-3 = [2(1+5x/2)]^-3 = (2^-3)(1+5x/2)^-3 usi...

White paint costs £2.80 per litre. Blue paint costs £3.50 per litre. White paint and blue paint are mixed in the ratio 3 : 2 Work out the cost of 18 litres of the mixture.

Amount of paint needed:

White paint = (18 ÷ 5) × 3 = 10.8 litres

Blue paint = (18 ÷ 5) × 2 = 7.2 litres 

Cost of white paint = 10.8 x £2.80 = £30.24

Cost of blue paint = 7.2 x ...

Find the gradient of the curve (x^3)-4(y^2)=12xy at the point P(-8,8)

First of all differentiate the equation of the curve implicitly, giving:

3x2-8y(dy/dx)=12y+12x(dy/dx)

=> (dy/dx)(12x+8y)=3x2-12y

=> dy/dx=(3x2-1...
