How do I determine the domain and range of a composite function, fg(x) ?

Firstly I would state the rule that for any composite function fg, its domain is always the domain of g. If the student would like to know why this is the case, I would simplify the expression fg(x) to f(...

The curve C has equation: (x-y)^2 = 6x +5y -4. Use Implicit differentiation to find dy/dx in terms of x and y. The point B with coordinates (4, 2) lies on C. The normal to C at B meets the x-axis at point A. Find the x-coordinate of A.

We start off by differentiating the equation implicitly which will give us:2(x-y) -2(x-y)dy/dx = 6 + 5dy/dxThen we rearrange to get dy/dx on it's own:dy/dx = (2x-2y-6)/(2x-2y+5)
For the second part o...

A circular table has a diameter 140 cm. Calculate the area of the table in cm^2, leaving your answer as a multiple of pi.

The equation for a circle is pi x radius x radius. So,first we need to find the radius which is half the diameter, 140 divided by 2 equals 70 cm. As the question asks for the answer as a multiple of pi th...

Find the interserction points of: The circle, x^2+(y-1)^2=18 and the line, y=x+1.

To solve this question, we have to use substitution. We substitute the line equation,y=x+1, into the circle equation so that we get, x^2 + (x+1-1)^2=18. This reduces to 2x^2 = 18, then dividing both sides...
