Using partial fractions find the integral of (15-17x)/((2+x) (1-3x)^2 )

First seperate the function into the form A/(2+x) + B/(1-3x) + C/(1-3x)² . Find A B and C by equating the intergral to {A(1-3x)²+B(1-3x)(2+x) +C(2+x)}/(2+x)(1-3x)²

Solve the simultaneous equation: y+4x+1=0 y^2+5x^2+2x=0

Rearrange the first equation to get y on its own: y=-(1+4x) Substitute into the second equation: (1+4x)(1+4x)+5x^2+2x=0 21x^2+10x+1=0 Substite into the quadratic formula to solve (-b+/-(b^...

a) Simplify 2ln(2x+1) - 10 = 0 b) Simplify 3^(x)*e^(4x) = e^(7)

a) To answer this question, one must be familiar with laws of logs, more sprecifically the rules when applied to the natural log of x, and exponentials (e). 2ln(2x+1) - 10 = 0 Step 1) 2ln(2x+1) = 10 Step ...

Find the intersection points between the graphs y=2x+5 and y=x^2-9.

To do this, first draw a sketch of both graphs to see roughly what kind of result we should expect to get. We know that at the intersection points, the values of x and y for both graphs must be equal. so ...
