x1:y1 = x2:y2 4:-2 = x2:5 x2 = (4*5)/-2 x2 = -10
You find the gradient of the curve using differentiation. The answer is 0.07111... (repeating).
x2 / y = (6)2 /2 = 36/2 = 18
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
y = x2 - 6x + 2 y = x2 - 6x + 9 - 7 y = (x - 3)2 - 7
