Solve the simultaneous equations x^2 +8y=20 and y=x+4

To begin you must substitute the value of y provided into the first equation. The would change the equation into the following form:x^2+8(x+4)=20. Now expand the bracket so that the equation becomes:x^2+8x+3...

Differentiate y=x^x with respect to x.

y=x^x, taking natural log of both sides ln(y)=ln(x^x), using laws of logs ln(y)=xln(x), using product rule and implicit differentiation dy/dx 1/y=ln(x)+1 dy/dx=(ln(x)+1)y dy/dx=(ln(x)+1)x^x

Solve the following simultaneous equations. x^2 + 2y = 9, y = x + 3

x^2 + 2y = 9y = x + 3 x^2 + 2y = 9x^2 + 2(x+3) = 9x^2 + 2x + 6 = 9x^2 + 2x - 3 = 0(x + 3)(x - 1) = 0x= -3, x = 1 when x = -3y = x + 3y = (-3) + 3y = 0 when x = 1y = x + 3y = (1) + 3y = 4
