Solve the equation (2x + 3 / x - 4) - (2x - 8 / 2x + 1) = 1

Answer

To start off, we must find the common denominator between the two fractions.

When dealing with complex...

What is the equation of the tangent to the circle (x-5)^2+(y-3)^2=9 at the points of intersection of the circle with the line 2x-y-1=0

Teh points of intersection can be found by subbing in y=2x-1 to the equation of the circle. (x-5)²+(2x-1-3)²=5x²-26x+33=9 so we have 5x²-26x+24=0. Solving the q...

When do I use the product rule as opposed to the chain rule?

The product rule is used when two functions of x are multiplied by each other, hence, product. So this can be used to differnetiatate 3x²* x+1 or more complex functions like sinxcosx.

Th...

Let f (x) = sin(x-1) , 0 ≤ x ≤ 2 π + 1 , Find the volume of the solid formed when the region bounded by y =ƒ( x) , and the lines x = 0 , y = 0 and y = 1 is rotated by 2π about the y-axis.

Draw a rough sketch of the graph of f(x) = sin(x-1) to get an idea of what the region looks like. Realise that the normal volume of revolution for the area between x axis and the f(x) is given by V = pi* ...
