The function is defined parametrically so we usually approach these questions using chain rule.Recall that: dy/dθ * dθ/dx = dy/dx So we will need to differentiate each expression individually then multiply t...

change everything to sixths. 21/6 - 14/6 = 7/6

An obtuse angle is an angle that is greater than 90degrees but less than 180 degrees. when looking at the diagram all angles apart from B are acute (as they are less than 90 degrees) Therefore B is the obtus...

Take the curve y = 2x 2 - 4 and point P (2,4) . a) First, find the straight line tangent to the curve at point P . This will have the gradient of the curve at point P . To find it, differentiate: dy/dx = 4x ...

First you should look at the equation and try and get a sense of the general shape of the graph. The highest power in here is a 3, so this is a cubic graph. The coefficient (number in front of the x^3) is a ...
