RobertSmart replied to the thread General solution for differentiation.
a) Starting with 3^2y^2dy/dx=2−1, We can simplify it to 9y^2dy/dx=1. Now, we can separate variables: 9y^2dy=dx Integrating both...

RobertSmart replied to the thread Basic Algebra - Factorising.
To factorize ax^2−b^2, we use the difference of squares formula: ax^2−b^2=(x√a−b)(x√a+b). Given that ax^2−b^2=9x2−4, we identify a=9...
