Percentage

A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.

Algebraic Expressions

In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.

Numbers

Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.

Subtraction

Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.

Addition

Evaluate the following integrals, showing all your working

Consider the function f(x) = 2x³-4x2-x+1. (a) Without doing a sketch, show that the cubic equation has at least one solution on the interval [0,1]. Use a theorem discussed in lectures, or see Section 1.8 of Calculus (7th ed) by Stewart. Ensure that the conditions of the theorem are satisfied (include this in your solution) (b) Now, by sketching the cubic (by hand or by computer), you should see that there is, in fact, exactly one zero in the interval [0,1]. Use Newton's method to find this zero accurate to 3 decimal places. You should include a sketch of the cubic, Newton's iteration formula, and the list of iterates. [Use a computer if possible, e.g., a spreadsheet or MatLab.]
