Solve x^2=4(x-3)^2

To solve this equation we need to expand the right hand side to get: x^2 = 4(x^2-6x+9), then we multiply whats in the bracket by 4 to get: x^2 = 4x^2 - 24x +36. We can subtract x^2 from both sides to give: 3...

Solve 5x-2=3x+11

5x-2=3x+11 Move the (-2) to the right handside. As it crosses over the (-) becomes a (+) 5x=3x + (11+2) Move the (+3x) to the left handside. As it crosses over the (-) becomes a (+) (5x-3x)=(11+2) Complete t...

Consider f(x)=a/(x-1)^2-1. For which a>1 is the triangle formed by (0,0) and the intersections of f(x) with the positive x- and y-axis isosceles?

We'll first compute these intersections by setting x=0 and y=0 consecutively. This gives y=a-1 and a/(x-1)^2-1=0. Hence we find (x-1)^2=a, so x=1+-sqrt(a). As we have a>1 and we want the intersection with...
