A curve has equation y = 6ln(x) + x^2 -8x + 3. Find the exact values of the stationary points.

When thinking about stationary points, it is important to remember that these points happen when the gradient of the curve is 0 (-> dy/dx = 0), or if you prefer, when the rate of change of a graph is 0. S...

Factorise z^3+1 into a linear and quadratic factor. Let y=(1+i√3)/2. Show that y is a cube root of -1. Show that y^2=y-1. Find the value of (1-y)^6.

To factorise z 3 +1 into a linear and quadratic factor, it is best to try the factor theorem first. We set the equation to zero: z 3 +1=0.We need to find a value of z such that the above is true. By inspecti...
