Differentiate y=ln(2x^2) with respect to x

Making a substitution for u = 2x^2 Now y = ln(u) dy/dx = du/dx * dy/du du/dx = 4x dy/du = 1/u dy/dx = 4x/u Then substitute 2x^2 back in as u The final answer is 4x/(2x^2) Which can be simplified by dividing through by 2 and x to get 2/x

How do I find dy/dx for the following equation: (x^2) + 2y = 4(y^3) + lnx?


The curve C has equation: 2(x^2)y + 2x + 4y – cos(pi*y) = 17. Use implicit differentiation to find dy/dx in terms of x and y.


Differentiate cos(2x)/(x) with respect to x


Express (2x-14)/(x^2+2x-15) as partial fractions
