A curve has equation y = f(x) and passes through the point (4, 22). Given that f'(x) = 3x^2 - 3x^(1/2) - 7, use integration to find f(x), giving each term in its simplest form

As we are given the derivative of f(x), we first need to integrate this derivative to obtain the function, f(x). Using the standard integration formula, ∫ x^n dx = (1/n+1)(x^(n+1)) +c, integrate each term...

Simplify fully: (24 - √ 300)/(4√ 3 - 5). Give your answer in the form a√ b where a and b are integers and find the values of a and b.

rationalise the denominator (remove the surds) by multiplying by a fraction = 1, known as the rationalising factor = (24 - √ 300)/(4√ 3 - 5) * (4√ 3 + 5)/(4√ 3 + 5) = (24 - √ 300)(4√ 3 + 5)/(48 - 25) = (2...

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

x = 6 + y
2(6+y) + y = 18
12+2y+y = 18
3y = 18-12
3y=6
y = 6/3 = 2. So y = 2 if y = 2 then x is = ?
x - y = 6 so, x-2 = 6
so x is 6+ 2 = 8
x = 8 and y = 2<...

How do you integrate ln(x)?

Here, we use integration by parts. We must imagine ln(x) as a product of 1 and ln(x). We usually take the function of x to be our dv/dx, however, in the case of ln(x), we take that to be u (it is a specia...
