Solve algebraically: 6a+b = 16 and 5a - 2b = 19

6a + b = 16 (1)

5a - 2b = 19 (2)

(1) x 2: 12a + 2b =32

(1) + (2): 12a + 2b + 5a - 2b = 32 + 19 = 51

17a = 51

a = 51 / 17 = 3

Substitue a = 3 back into (1): (6 x 3...

Find the general solution to the differential equation '' (x^2 + 3x - 1) dy/dx = (2x + 3)y ''

Now although this might seem like quite a complex question at first, it's a little less intimidating when we take a while to look at it- you might notice that we can seperate x and y terms like so:
1...

Differentiate y = lnx + 4x^2 + 3e^4x with respect to x

lnx differentiates to 1/x

4x^2 differentiates to 8x

3e^4x differentiates to 12e^4x

therefore the answer is: 1/x + 8x + 12e^4x

Show that (4x – 5)^2 – 5x(3x – 8) is positive for all values of x

(4x-5)^2-5x(3x-8)

(16x^2-40x+25)-(15x^2-40x)

16x^2-15x^2-40x+40x+25

x^2+25

if x = positive, x^2 will be positive.

if x = negative, x^2 will be positive.

x^2 is po...
