Integrade the function f(x) = 1/(x^2 - 5x +6) with respect to x.

First, we need to factorise the denominator and therefore we use this formula: x1,2 =[ -b + sqrt(b2 -4 a c) ]/ (2a). You obtain two roots, x = 2 and x=3 and the integration is simpli...

Solve by completing the square: x^2 - 8x + 12 = 0

x2 - 8x + 12 = 0 (x - 4)2 - 16 + 12 = 0 (x - 4)2 - 4 = 0 (x - 4)2 = 4 x - 4 = +- 2 x = 6 x = 2

Consider the functions f(x) = −x^3 + 2x^2 + 3x and g(x) = −x^3 + 3x^2 − x + 3. (a) Find df/dx (x) and hence show that f(x) has turning points at when x = 2 /3 ± √ 13/ 3 . [5] (b) Find the points where f(x) and g(x) intersect. [4]

a) First differentiate f(x) using standard polynomial derivative rules which gives, df/dx=-3x^2+4x+3. The derivative function gives the gradient of f for any value of x. Turning points occur when the grad...

Solve the following: sinx - cosx = 0 for 0≤x≤360

We know that sinx/cosx = tanx. Therefore we can write sinx - cosx = 0 as sinx = cosx . By diving both sides by cosx, we get tanx = 1. By taking tan inverse of both sides, we can see that for 0≤x≤360, we g...

Solve the following quadratic equation for X: X^2 -10X + 24=0

We can factorise the quadratic equation by noting that two numbers which multiply to get 24 and that add to get -10 are: -6 and -4. Therefore, we get (X-6)(X-4)=0 and we can solve for X to get X = 6 or X ...
