The polynomial f(x) is define by f(x) = 3x^3 + 2x^2 - 8x + 4. Evaluate f(2).

f(x) = 3x^3 + 2x^2 - 8x + 4

f(2) = 3(2)^3 + 2(2)^2 - 8(2) + 4

f(2) = 3(8) + 2(4) - 8(2) + 4

f(2) = 24 + 8 - 16 +4

f(2) = 20

How do I differentiate 4x^3 + 2x + x^4 with respect to x?


The point P lies on a curve with equation: x=(4y-sin2y)^2. (i) Given P has coordinates (x, pi/2) find x. (ii) The tangent to the curve at P cuts the y-axis at the point A. Use calculus to find the coordinates of the point A.


A line L is parallel to y=4x+5 and passes through the point (-1, 6). Find the equation of the line L in the form y=ax+b . Find also the coordinates of its intersections with the axes.


The curve C is paramterised by the equations: x = 5t + 3 ; y = 2 / t ; t > 0 Find y in terms of x and hence find dy/dx
