A trillion is 10^12. Which of the following is bigger: the three trillionth root of 3 or the two trillionth root of 2? You may assume that if 0 < x < y, then 0 < x^n < y^n for integer values of n greater than or equal to 1.

Let E be an ellipse with equation (x/3)^2 + (y/4)^2 = 1. Find the equation of the tangent to E at the point P where x = √3 and y > 0, in the form ax + by = c, where a, b and c are rational.

In order to find the equation of the tangent to a curve at a point (x₁, y₁), we use the equation y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where m is the gradient of the curve at (x<...
