f(x)=12x^2e^2x - 14, find the x-coordinates of the turning points.

f(x)=(12x^2)(e^2x) - 14, so using the chain rule f'(x)=(24x)(e^2x) + (12x^2)(2e^2x).To find the turning points set f'(x)=0, so (24x)(e^2x) + (24x^2)(e^2x) = 0. Thus (24xe^2x)(1+x)=0. Thus x=0 or x=-1.

Solve algebraically the simultaneous equations x^2 + y^2 = 25 and y - x = 1

Let's label the equations x 2 + y 2 = 25 (1) y - x = 1 (2). We can use substitution to solve this simultaneous equation. Let's make y the subject of the equation (2) and we get y = x + 1. Now, lets find y 2 ...

What is the difference between London dispersion forces and hydrogen bonds?

Both are a type of inter molecular forces which means they act between more than 1 molecules. Do not confuse them with intra molecular forces acting within 1 molecule. London dispersion forces act between al...
