What is the amplitude and period of y=3sin(5x)?

Amplitude of a periodic function is the maximum height it reaches above the centre line (or the lowest). This expressed in the equation as '3'. If the 3 was not there, then the sin wave would have an ampl...

How do I factorise and solve 2x^2+4x-6=0?

The 2 in front of the x^2 can cause confusion. In this case, the equation can be divided through by 2, to produce x^2+2x-3=0. From here it can be factorised by working out what adds to make '2' and times ...

A curve is defined by the parametric equations x=t^2/2 +1, y=4/t -1. Find the gradient of the curve when t =2.

Firstly we would differentiate each equation with respect to t to find dx/dt and dy/dt- which gives us dx/dt=t and dy/dt=-4t^-2. Once you have found these you must divide dy/dt by dx/dt (or dy/dt x dt/dx)...

solve to 2 decimal places; (2x+3/(x-4)) - 2x-8/(2x+1) = 1

the key to this question is to remove all the unknown denominators. to do this first move the negative fraction to the other side of the equation to get 2x+3/(x-4)=1 + 2x-8/(2x+1). then we need to combine...
