Find the integral of y=6/(e^x+2) using calculus.

First, use the substitution u=e^x (which implies dx=du/u) to make the integral ∫6/(u*(u+2)))du. Next seperate the fraction using partial fractions and expand to form 3∫1/u du - 3∫1/(u+2) du. Next integrate t...

Solve algebraically the simultaneous equations 3x + 2y = 15 and 2x + 4y = 10

Firstly, we need to eliminate on of the terms of the equation, either the x or the y term, by combining the two equations into one equation. To do this we can add or subtract the two equations from each othe...
