Solve the simultaneous equations: x^2+y^2=36 ; x=2y+6

Substitute x in terms of y into the first equation: (2y+6) 2 +y 2 =36 Use FOIL to expand the brackets 4y 2 +24y+36+y 2 =36 => 5y 2 +24y=0 y(5y+24)=0 => y=0 or y=(-24)/5 Substitute these values of y int...

Find the derivative of f(x)=x^2log(2x)

Use the product rule (f'(x)=u'v+uv') Let u=x 2 => u'=2x Let v=log(2x) => v'=2/(2x) => v'=1/x Therefore f'(x)=2xlog(2x)+x 2 /x f'(x)=2xlog(2x)+x
