5 = a(3x+2) + b(x-1), x = 1, 5 = a(3+2) +b (1-1), 5 = a(5) + b(0), 5 = 5a, a = 1, x = -2/3, 5 = a(-2+2) + b(-(2/3)-1), 5 = a(0) + b(-5/3), 5 = -5b/3, b = -3, Therefore: 5/[(x-1)(3x+2)] = 1/(x-1) -3/(3...

You will have to use the Product Rule. The Product rule: when y=f(x)g(x), then dy/dx=f'(x)g(x)+f(x)g'(x). In this example, f(x)=sin(x) and g(x)=cos(x). Hence f'(x)=cos(x) and g'(x)=-sin(x). Using these an...

So we need to find common factors for each term: 6xyz, 24x²yz and 18xy³z². Let's start with the numbers. Do the numbers 6, 24 and 18 have a common factor? Yes, 6 . If we t...

First we need to eliminate one of the Variables, to have an equation dependant on one variable. The coefficient for y in equation two is a third of the coefficient of the y in the second equation. Therefo...

We can find the longest side of a right angled triangle (also called the hypotenuse) by using Pythagoras' Theorem and considering the lengths of the two other sides given to us. Pythagoras' Theorem is wri...
