The curve y=x² -3x -4 cross the x-axis at P and Q. The tangents to the curve at P and Q meet at R. The normals to the curve at P and Q meet at S. Find the distance RS.

i would go...

25÷100 × $25000.00 = $6250

The tangent to the curve y=6√x at the point (4,12) meets the axes at A and B. Show that the distance AB may be written in the form k√13, and state the value of k.

Ahhh.. thank you, i did all of that except i used the gradient of the tangent for the equation of the normal!! stupid me =p
