How do you use Substitution to solve simultaneous equations?

For the equations 3x + 2y = 4 (1) and 4x + 5y = 17 (2), isolate one of the unknowns in one equation to one side, like so: 3x = 4- 2y. Next multiply the equations so that this unknown is the same in both. ...

How do I find the co-ordinates of a stationary point of a given line and determine whether it is a minimum or a maximum point?

When you find the first derivative of the equation and equate it to 0 then solve for x, you will find the x-coordinates of the stationary point(s) of the graph. For example, let's say f(x)=-x3+...

How do you find the first order derivative of sin(x) and cos(x) functions?

The general rules are:d(sin x)/ dx = cos xd(cos x)/ dx = -sinxHowever, if you have a constant k in the function such as y = sin(kx), the derivative will be dy/dx = kcos(kx). (For y = cos(kx), the derivati...

Find the x-coordinates of any stationary points of the equation y = x^3 - 2x + 4/x

y = x^3 - 2x +4/x, dy/dx = 3x^2 - 2 - 4/(x^2) = 0 at the stationary points, 3x^4 - 2x^2 - 4 = 0, substitute in u for x^2: 3u^2 - 2u - 4 = 0, use the quadratic formula: u = (-(-2) +- sqrt((-2)^2 - 4
