Consider the function f(x) = 2 - x^(2) - e^(2x) It is known that the function has a stationary point near x = -1/2 Calculate a better approximation for the location (x value only) of the stationary point using Newton's approximation method to 2 decimal places. (4 marks) Unfortunately I...

Area enclosed by both curves Find the Point of intersections of both graphs y=x^2,y=x+6 x^2=x+6 x^2 -x -6 =0 (x + 2) , (x - 3) x=-2 , x=3 3 ∫ (x+6) - (x^2) dx Area under y=x+6 is larger than area under y=x^2 -2 3 ∫ x+6 - x^2 dx -2...

I felt like that choice was the best to go with too :) Glad to know that this approach was a common teaching method for maths! Thank you both for replying strawberrye and tashe :D

Say your class just started the topic Integrals or something and like you somehow finished the whole topic in that textbook. What should you do afterwards whilst everyone is still doing the first exercise of that topic? Like would it be advisable to study other topics ahead, or just continue on...

I get the same problems as well :/ If you're finding troubles with solving the questions I'd usually try to learn and understand the concept in that exercise in a much more depth. I'd usually leave out those repetitive questions like 1. Derive a) 2x b) 4x^2 c) e^x If they're too repetitive and...

Hey baby
