A curve C is mapped by the equation ( 1+x)(4-x). The curve intersects the x-axis at x = –1 and x = 4. A region R is bounded by C and the x-axis. Use calculus to find the exact area of R.

First draw the curve. Figure out and write the integration problem. Integral⁴_-1 (1+x)(4-x) dx.Expand integral⁴_-1 4 + 3x - x² dx.= ⁴_...

Describe and explain the change in the shape of the graph y=x^2 and y=x^2 + 2.

The graph is translated by two in the positive y-axis direction. For example, for the equation y=x², taking the x-axis values of 0,1,2 and 3, y= 0²,1², 2

(a) Find the set of values of k that satisfy the inequality k^2 - k - 12 < 0. (b) We have a triangle ABC, of lengths AC = 4 and BC = 2. Given that cos B < 1/4 , find the range of possible values for AB:

Solution: Let us consider the function f(k) = k²- k -12. Firstly, we want to find out the roots of this function. We calculate the discriminant: Δ = b² – 4ac = 49 hence we ...

Please expand (y+2)(y-3).

We will use the FOIL method. Here FOIL stands for: First, Outside, Inside, Last.
This means we start by multiplying the first terms in each bracket together to get y² .
Then we multi...
