Expand and simplify 3(m + 4) – 2(4m + 1)

Multiply through the 3 of the first bracket to get 3m +12. Then multiply out the second bracket by -2 to get -8m -2.

Write it out in a line: 3m + 12 - 8m -2

Simplify: -5m +10

Divide b...

A bag contains 5 blue marbles and 5 red marbles. If marbles are NOT replaced after being selected from the bag, what is the probability (in percentage) of picking 2 red marbles? Give your answer to one decimal place.

As there are a total of 10 marbles in the bag, then the probability of picking a red marble is 5/10. When the next marble is selected, there are only 9 marbles left in the bag since the red marble has not...

Differentiate y=(x^2+1)(e^-x)

Here, we're using the product rule (and the chain rule for the e-x): y=(x2+1)(e-x) dy/dx=(2x)(e-x)+(x2+1)(-1)(e-x) Then we simplify to get...

Integrate the following function: f(x) = 8x^3 + 1/x + 5

We can see that the function is a sum of three terms so we can deal with each term separately and add them up. The term 8x3 and 5 are relatively straightforward and follow the standard rules fo...

Using the substitution of u=6x+5 find the value of the area under the curve f(x)=(2x-3)(6x+%)^1/2 bounded between x=1 and x=1/2 to 4 decimal places.

dx=du/6 => (u-5)/6=x So the integral is now (2((u-5)/6)-3)(u^1/2) du/6 Which through simplifying becomes (1/36)(2u-28)(u^1/2)du = (1/36)(2u^3/2 -28u^1/2)du After integrating becomes (1/36)(4(u^5/2)/5 -...
