How do you find the gradient of the curve y equals x-4 over x when y equals 3?

y = x - 4/x

so gradient = dy/dx = 1 + 4/x2

When y = 3, x - 4/x = 3

x2 - 3x - 4 = 0 so x = -1 or x = 4

When x = -1, gradient = 1 + 4/(-1)2 = 1 + 4/1 = 1+4 = 5

When x = 4, gradient = 1 + 4/(4)2 = 1 + 4/16 = 1+1/4 = 1.25

When is tan theta theta?

tan (theta x theta) : must square the value of the angle, theta, before applying the trig function, tangent.

What are 2 mathematical things about the number 9?

The number nine is a composite number (3 x 3 = 9) and it is a square number (32 = 9). It is a divisor of any number that has digits having the sum of nine or a multiple of 9 (For example, the digits in 367,218 add up to 27, which is a multiple of 9, and the digits in 27 also add up to 9)

What is represented by capital letters angle or side?

Angles are represented by capital letters. Small letters refer to sides.

What is the frequency of a sine wave with a period of 2 ms?

The definiton of period (T) . Is T = 1/f ; Therefore if you know that the period is 2.5

How do you prove this trigonometric relationship sin3A equals 3sinA cos 2 A - sin 3 A?

sin(3A) = sin(2A + A) = sin(2A)*cos(A) + cos(2A)*sin(A)= sin(A+A)*cos(A) + cos(A+A)*sin(A)

= 2*sin(A)*cos(A)*cos(A) + {cos^2(A) - sin^2(A)}*sin(A)

= 2*sin(A)*cos^2(A) + sin(a)*cos^2(A) - sin^3(A)

= 3*sin(A)*cos^2(A) - sin^3(A)

Sec²x - tan²x equals?

sec2(x) - tan2(x)

= 1/cos2(x) - sin2(x)/cos2(x)

= (1 - sin2(x)) / cos2(x)

= cos2(x) / cos2(x)

= 1

Where does the word iridescent come from?

The word is derived in part from the Greek word, Iris, meaning "rainbow," which in turn is derived from the goddess, Iris, the personification of the rainbow. She acted as a messenger of the gods. The rainbow unites earth and heaven, linking the gods to humanity. Iris travels the speed of wind, from one end of the world to the other, and into the depths of the sea and the underworld. Iris was said to have golden wings, and her twin sister, Arkhe, to have iridescent ones. During the Titan war, Zeus tore Arkhe's iridescent wings from her, and gave them as a gift to Nereid Thetis at her wedding. Nereid Thetis, then in turn, gave the wings to her son, Achilles, who wore them on his feet. Achilles was then known as Podarkhes, or "wing-footed with Arkhe's wings."

What quadrant in standard position is -305 degrees?

-305 degrees would be equal to 55 degrees, which can be found in quadrant one in the standard position.

What is 6 percent of 90?

6 is what percent of 90 = 6 / 90 = 0.066667

Converting decimal to a percentage: 0.066667 * 100 = 6.67%

How do you verify cos2 theta divided by csc2 theta plus cos4 theta equals cos2 theta?

Using x instead of theta, cos2x/cosec2x + cos4x = cos2x*sin2x + cos4x

= cos2x*(sin2x + cos2x)

= cos2x*1 = cos2x
