If x=-2,1,2 and the y intercept is y=-8 for y=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d, what is a, b, c and d

a=-2, b=2, c=8, d=-8We know d=-8 from the y interception setting x=0 and y=-8For a, b and c we must construct 3 simultaneous equations from the given information x=-2, 1 and 21.) -8a+4b-2c=82.) a+b+c=83.)...

How do I find the dot product of two 3-dimensional vectors

Example; Let vector v = (2,5,2) and vector u = (1,-2,3),then u · v = [(2 x 1) + (5 x -2) + (2 x 3)] = [2 -10 + 6] = -2 As the workings hopefully make clear in the line above, the general formula for the s...

Sketch the graph of y= (x^2) -2x -3 labelling the turning points and points of intersection

The gradient of the curve equals the first derivative.dy/dx = 2x - 2At the turning point the gradient equals zero.2x -2 = 02x = 2 x= 1to find the y co-ordinate to this point substitute x = 1 into the orig...

Find the an expression for dy/dx of the function y=(4x+1)ln(3x+1) and the gradient at the point x=1.

This question is example of product rule. To simplify need to define two terms u=4x+1 and v=ln(3x+1). Each term is then differentiated. du/dx=4. To differentiate v, need to define another term a=3x+1, the...
