Find the value of cot(π/3)

Pi radians is equal to 180 degrees . Radians are a unit of measurement for angles, just like degrees are, and pi is just the number of radians that makes up that angle. 180 divided by 3 is 60 so we get c...

Let f(x)= x^2+4, and g(x)= 3x; Find g(f(1))

Suppose f(x)=x²+4 and g(x)=3xg(f(x)) would therefore be 3(x²+4) and that equals 3x²+12the next step would then be to substitute x with 1 to find the solution for (g(f(1))....

Consider the curve y=x/(x+4)^0.5. (i) Show that the derivative of the curve is given by dy/dx= (x+8)/2(x+4)^3/2 and (ii) hence find the coordinates of the intersection between the left vertical asymptote and the line tangent to the curve at the origin.

The unsimplified form of the derivative can be obtained fairly easily with use of the quotient rule. The trick for simplification is to multiply top and bottom by (x+4)^0.5, this allows manipulation of th...
