Solve the simultaneous equations x^2 + y^2 =13 and x= y - 5.

(y-5)² + y² = 13y²-10y +25 + y²=13.2y²-10y+12=0.y²-5y+6=0.(y-3)(y-2)=0. So, y=3 or y=2. Then substituting these values of y back into x=y-...

Find the exact value of the integral of (2+7/x), between x=1 and x=e. Give your answer in terms of e.

1.) Find the integral of each term. --> [2x +7ln(x)]. --> Uses standard integrals--> e.g. that the integral of 1/x is ln(x).
2.) substitute values into the integral. --> [2(e)+ 7ln(e)]-...

Expand (x+4)(x-4)=33 to give values of x

Use FOIL to expand the brackets. To do this, we start by multiplying the FIRST value in each bracket which in this case is x so we get x^2. Then we multiply the OUTSIDE two values, so here that is x and -...

The velocity of a car at time, ts^-1, during the first 20 s of its journey, is given by v = kt + 0.03t^2, where k is a constant. When t = 20 the acceleration of the car is 1.3ms^-2, what is the value of k?

Our task is to find out the value of k, which we can determine from the equations for velocity or acceleration if we know 2 of the 3 variables in either equation. We are given the value of acceleration at...
