Find the equation of the tangent at x=1 for the curve y=(4x^2+1)^3

The tangent is the straight line passing through x=1, touching the curve only at that point. For x=1, y=(4+1)^3=125 Using the chain rule we obtain dy/dx = 3 8x (4x^2+1)^2. To then get the gradient of the tan...

If the fourth term in an arithmetic sequence is, u4 = 12.5, the tenth is u10 = 27.5. Find the common difference and the 20th term.

The equations for an arithmetic sequences are 1) Un = u1 + (n - 1)d 2) Sn = n/2(2*u1 + (n-1)d) 3) Sn = n/2(u1 + un) The first step is to calculate the common difference, d. This is done using the first equat...
