Solve: a) 5t + 17 = 2. b) x^3 - 25 = 103 - x^3.

a) 5t + 17 = 2. We want to work out what t is. t = ?.To do this we need to get t on it's own , so first we move all the other numbers to equal t.We do this by subtracting 17 from both sides and we should fin...

Factorise the Quadratic: 3x^2 + 2x - 1.

When we are asked to factorise a quadratic we essentially need to tidy it up by putting it into brackets.For a quadratic we look to work out the sum and the product, however this time it's a bit different as...

Where do the lines 2y = 4x + 2 and - 3x + y = 4 intersect?

Rearrange the second equation in the form y = mx + c to get y = 3x + 4. Divide the first equation by 2 to get y = 2x + 1. When the lines intersect, they'll have the same x and y values, hence, set the equati...

f(x) = sinx. Using differentiation from first principles find the exact value of f' (π/6).

The derivative of the function where x=π/6 is defined asThe limit as h->0 of [sin(h+π/6)-sin(π/6)]/hUsing the double angle formula, sin(h+π/6) = sin(h)cos(π/6) + cos(h)sin(π/6) = √3sin(h)/2 + cos(h)sin(π/...
