Hi guys I need help in solving q9 part i. Thankyou in advance
d/dx((1-x)/(1+x)) = -2 / (1+x)^2
Let u = (1-x)/(1+x)
d/dx(√u) = u' / 2√u = [ -2 / (1+x)^2 ] / [ 2 * √((1-x)/(1+x)) ]
= -1 / [ (1+x)^2 * √((1-x)/(1+x)) ]

Now the gradient of the normal is the negative reciprocal of the gradient of tangent:

(1+x)^2 * √((1-x)/(1+x))
= (1+x)^2 * (1-x)^1/2 * (1+x)^-1/2
= (1+x)^3/2 * (1-x)^1/2
= (1+x)^1 * (1+x)^1/2 * (1-x)^1/2
=(1+x)^1 * [(1+x)(1-x)]^1/2
= (1+x) * (1-x^2)^1/2

2 * |3^x - 1| = 3^x

Square both sides to get rid of modulus (cuz its ugly)

4*(3^2x - 2* 3^x + 1) = 3^2x
Expand bracket:
4•3^2x - 8•3^x + 4 = 3^2x
Move terms:
3•3^2x - 8•3^x + 4 = 0
Make u=3^x :
3u^2 - 8u + 4 = 0
Factorise:
3u^2 - 6u - 2u + 4 = 0
3u(u-2) -2(u-2) = 0
(3u-2)(u-2) = 0
u=2, u=2/3
3^x = 2, 3^x = 2/3
x = lg2/lg3 , x=lg(2/3) / lg3
sorry don't have a calculator :(

Yeah

Here is the solution. Hopefully it is right.

62/o/n/14 - q6.iii .. For calculating midvalues, should we always take the limits given or must take the limits we get after making the plots continuous??
