How do you calculate the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle if the two shorter sides are 6 and 8?

As this is a right angle triangle, we need to use Pythagoras's Theorem. This says that the length of the longest side of a right angle triangle (the hypotenuse) is equal to the sqaure root of the sum of the ...

Let log a be some number A and log b be some number B now the natural log of something is the equivalent of saying a=e^A and b = e^B So a*b = e^A * e^B which by rules of indices = e^(A+B) Therefore log(ab) =...

The curve C has equation y = f(x) where f(x) = (4x + 1) / (x - 2) and x>2. Given that P is a point on C such that f'(x) = -1.

Firstly, in order to solve this problem we would need to differentiate f(x) to get f'(x). To differentiate this we would use the quotient rule. The quotient rule is that: dy/dx = (V.dU/dx - U.dX/dx) / V^2 wh...
