Find the equation of the tangent to the curve y^3 - 4x^2 - 3xy + 25 = 0 at the point (2,-3).

This is an example of implicit differentiation where we have to consider both the y-terms as well as the x-terms. The first step is to deal with each term on the left hand side individually. This gives us...

Differentiate with respect to x: (6x + 7)e^x

Product Rule: dy/dx (uv) = u'v + uv'
Let u = 6x+7 and v = e^x. Using simple disintegartion, u' is 6 and v' is e^x.
Therefore, answer is: 6e^x + (6x +7)e^x

In a triangle ABC, side BC = 8.1 cm, side AC = 7 cm, and angle ACB = 30 degrees. What is the area of the triangle?

Initially, one might think to use area = 1/2 x base x height, however drawing the triangle immediately shows that this is not possible here. We then think to use the formula for area using two adjacent si...

Aled has three concrete slabs. Two of the slabs are square, with each side of length x metres. The third slab is rectangular and measures 1 metre by (x +1) metres. The three concrete slabs cover an area of 7m^2. Show that 2x^2 + x – 6 = 0. Find x.

For the first part of the question, we can firstly assume that the... area of slab 1 + area of slab 2 + area of slab 3 = total area, which we know to be 7m^2Knowing that to work out the area of a squa...
