To find the gradient of the line through points A(4,-6) and B(2,4), use the formula m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Substituting, m = (4-(-6))/(2-4) = (10)/(-2) = -5. So, the gradient is -5 .
To find the minimum point, complete the square for y=x^2−2x−8. Begin with x^2−2x. Complete square: (x^2−2x+1)−1−8 = (x−1)^2−9. Thus, vertex form is y=(x−1)^2−9, with vertex (1,−9). Minimum point is (1,−9).
First, find the common difference of the sequence: 12−5=7, 19−12=7. The sequence formula is Tn = a + (n-1)d where a=5 and d=7. Thus, Tn = 5 + (n-1)×7 = 5 + 7n - 7, giving Tn = 7n - 2. For the sixth term, substitute n=6: T6 = 7(6) - 2 = 42 - 2 = 40 .
For integration, integrate each term separately: ∫3x^(3/2) dx = 3∫x^(3/2) dx = (3/5)x^(5/2), ∫-5x dx = -5∫x dx = -5(x^2/2), ∫1/x^2 dx = ∫x^(-2) dx = x^(-1)/(−1) = -1/x. Combining gives (3/5)x^(5/2) - (5/2)x^2 - 1/x + C .
To solve 4y^2−8y=0, factor out the common term: 4y(y−2)=0. Set each factor equal to zero: 4y=0 implies y=0, and y−2=0 gives y=2. Thus, the solutions are y=0 and y=2 .
The equation (2x−5)(x+3)=0 can be solved by setting each factor equal to zero. Solving 2x−5=0, we get x=5/2. Solving x+3=0, we get x=-3. Therefore, the solutions are x=5/2 and x=-3 .
The probability that Kasukulu wakes up early is the complement of waking up late. Therefore, P(waking up early) = 1 − P(waking up late) = 1 − 0.3 = 0.7 .
To factorise 2ax+4ay−3bx−6by completely, first group the terms: (2ax+4ay) + (-3bx-6by). Factor each group: 2a(x+y) - 3b(x+y). Factor out the common term (x+y): (x+y)(2a−3b).
To factor 2x^2−x−6, find two numbers whose product is a*c = 2*-6=-12 and sum is b=-1. These numbers are -3 and 4. Rewrite as 2x^2+3x-4x-6, then group: (2x^2+3x)-(4x+6). Factor: x(2x+3)-2(2x+3). Finally, (x-2)(2x+3).
