Given: 𝑓(π‘₯) = π‘Žπ‘₯^3 + 𝑏π‘₯^2 βˆ’ 3 and 𝑓"(βˆ’2) = 0. If it is further given that the point (βˆ’3; 6) lies on the graph of 𝑓. Show that π‘Ž = 1/3 and 𝑏 = 2.

We start off by finding the first derivative of equation f(x) = ax3 + bx2 - 3: f'(x) = 3ax2 + 2bx. We now take the second derivative of equation f, because we have been to...

Solve the simultaneous equations: 2x + y = 18 and x - y = 6

We need to find a value of x to sub into equation 1, so add y to both sides of equation 2: x = 6 + y. Then sub this into the x value of equation 1 and solve to find y: 2(6 + y) + y = 18. 12 + 2y + y = 18....
