dx/dt=-5x/2 t>=0 when x=60 t=0

dx/dt=-5x/2 Int(x, dx)=Int(-5/2, dt) ln(x)=-5t/2+c x=60 when t=0 ln(60)=c ln(x)=ln(60)-5t/2 x=e ln(60)-5t/2 x=60/e 5t/2

A curve is mapped by the equation y = 3x^3 + ax^2 + bx, where a is a constant. The value of dy/dx at x = 2 is double that of dy/dx at x = 1. A turning point occurs when x = -1. Find the values of a and b.

dy / dx = 9x^2 + 2ax + b x = 2, dy / dx = 9(2)^2 + 2a(2) + b = 36 + 4a + b x = 1, dy / dx = 9(1)^2 + 2a(1) + b = 9 + 2a + b 36 + 4a + b = 2(9 + 2a + b) b = 18 x = -1, dy / dx = 0 = 9(-1)^2 + 2a(-1) + 18 9 - ...

Solve the simultaneous equations x^2 + y^2 = 9 and y = 3x + 3

y 2 = (3x + 3) 2 = 9x 2 + 18x + 9 x 2 + 9x 2 + 18x + 9 = 9 10x 2 + 18x = 0 (root a: x = 0) 5x + 9 = 0 (root b: x = -1.8) For x = 0, y = 3(0) + 3 (root a: y = 3) For x = -1.8, y = 3(-1.8) + 3 (root b: y = -2....
