A=(1,a;0,1/2) B=(1,-1;0,2) AB=I, calculate the value of a.

First notice I is the 2x2 identity matrix (1,0;0,1) now we can form an equation to solve for a, look for an entry where a is involved the (1,2) entry of I is 0 and calculated by 1(-1)+2a=0 now solving giv...

Point A lies on the curve y=3x^2+5x+2. The x-coordinate of A is 2. Find the equation of the tangent to the curve at the point A

First differentiate the function with respect to x, dy/dx=6x+5 this finds the gradient function now calculate the gradient at point A by inputing x=2 into the gradient function 6(2)+5=17. Now using y=mx+c...
