let line L have the equation 4y -3x =10, and line M passes through the points (5,-1) and (-1,8), find out if they are perpendicular, parallel, or neither

L:4y=3x+10 -> y=3/4 x + 10/3. M: y= mx+ c such that it passes through the points in question, then m=(-1-8)/(5-(-1))=-3/2. As the gradient of L is not a negative reciprocal of the gradient of M, nor is it...

Find dy/dx for the following equation: f(x) = x^7 + 7x

Differentiation is used to calculate the rate of change. For example, if you have the speed of a car (velocity), and you want to find out the how the speed has changed over time (acceleration), you can diffe...

Integrate 2x^3 -4x +5

2x 3 - 4x + 5For integration we add 1 to the power, and divide by the new powerso: (2x 3+1 )/4 - (4x 1+1 )/2 +5x 0+1 =1/2 x 4 - 2x 2 + 5x

A straight line passes through the point (0, 6) and is perpendicular to y = 4x - 5. Find the equation of this line, giving your answer in the form y = mx + c .

perpendicular so the gradient is -1/4 y= -1/4x +CSub in the coordinate (0,6) 6 = -1/4 (0) +C C=6y=-1/4x +6
