By using our laws of Indices we know: x^5 * x^12 = x^17 and x^4 * x^4 = x^16

Therefor (x^5 * x^8)/(x^4 * x^4) = x^17/x^16 = x^1 = x.

The answer is: 85 Because in the to get the next number you add 14 to the previous number

The chain rule is used for functions 'inside' other functions. We have learnt to differentiate functions like x^2, y^20, e^x, -sin(x), and we will use these results in the chain rule. Let's look at an ex...

Label your two equations 1 and 2 respectively. Make x the subject of the second equation, so x=2-y. Substitute x=2-y into x^2+y^2=9, to give (2-y)^2+y^2=9. Expand the brackets using FOIL to give 4-4y+y^2+...

Let's take an example: Curve: y = x^2 Point: (2,4)

The equation of the tangent is going to be of the form y = mx + c (standard equation of a straight line), where m is the gradient of the line ...
