Solve the equation x^2 + 10x + 24 = 0

x2 + 10x + 24 = 0
First we must factorise the equation, which means put it into brackets. To do this we must find two numbers which multiply to equal 24 and add together to make 10. The on...

Find all the stationary points of the curve: y = (2/3)x^3 – (1/2)x^2 – 3x + 7/6 and determine their classifications.

The first thing to do is write down y’ and y’’ neatly since these are the main two equations we will be working with… y’ = 2x2 – x – 3 & y’’ = 4x – 1… To find the stationary point we must f...

The region below the curve y = e^x + e^(-x) and the lines x = 0, x = ln4 is rotated 2π radians about the x-axis. Find the volume of the resulting solid.

We can use the formula for a Volume of Revolution: V =π ∫ (e^x + e^(-x))^2 dx, with limits x = 0, x = ln4.Expanding the brackets: (e^x + e^(-x))^2 = e^2x + 2 + e^(-2x).So: V = π ∫ (e^2x + 2 + e^(-2x)) dx ...
