Work out the equation of the tangent at x = 3, knowing that f(x) =x^2

Currently, we know that:f(x) = x2To find the equation of the tangent you need the gradient and the y-value of the graph at x = 3So, you can differentiate f(x):f'(x) = 2xlet x = 3: f(x) = 9 f'(x...

How do you rearrange x = (2y+1)/(3y+4) to get y in terms of x?

We first multiply both sides of the equation by (3y+4) to get x(3y+4)=2y+1. We then expand the left hand side to get 3xy+4x=2y+1. By rearranging the equation we get 3xy-2y=1-4x. We then factorise the left...

For which values of k does the quadratic equation 2x^2+kx+3=0 only have one unique solution?

A quadratic equation ax2 +bx+c=0 will have only one unique solution if and only if b2-4ac=0. If we apply this to the equation in the question, we get that k2-24=0. If we s...
