Solve algebraically the simultaneous equations (x^2) + (y^2) =25 and y - 3x = 13 (5 Marks).

The solution to simultaneous equations is where the values of x and y satisfy both equations. In this case, we need to find values of x and y that satisfy the equations x 2 + y 2 =25 and y - 3x = 13. If we n...

Use calculus to find the set of values of x for which f(x) = x^3 - 9x is an increasing function.

f(x) is an increasing function when its gradient is positive. To find the the gradient of the the function we must differentiate it:d/dx f(x) = 3x 2 - 9. To differentiate we multiply the exponent by the coef...

Evaluate gf(-5) for the functions f(x)=3x+7, g(x)=3x^2+6x-9

I like to think of gf(-5) as g ( f(-5) ), which helps visualise the order in which you need to calculate the output for each function. First you need to find the answer for f(-5), which you then use as the i...
