How do you integrate 3x^2 - 6x + 5 (wrt x)?

To integrate any term, add one to the power of x and divide the co-efficient (amount of x) by the new power, so x n becomes x (n+1) /(n+1). Using this, 3x 2 becomes 1x 3 , -6x becomes -3x 2 , and 5 becomes 5...

Solve the simultaneous equations '2X+Y=7' and '3X-Y=8'

In order to solve this question we need to remove one variable, either X or Y. Let us remove X in this case. The coefficents of X are 2 and 3. Their lowest common multiplte is 6. We can therefore get both va...

The variable x=t^2 and the variable y=2t. What is dy/dx in terms of t?

This question may seem difficult but we just have to remember the rules of parametric differentiation and the chain rule. The chain rules states that dy/dx=dy/dz*dz/dx where z is a third variable. Parametric...
