Differentiate and factorise y = x^2(3x + 1)

Product rule:      dy/dx = uv' + u'v dy/dx = 2x(3x + 1) + x^2(3) dy/dx = 2x(3x + 1) +3x^2 dy/dx = 6x^2 + 2x + 3x^2 dy/dx = 9x^2 + 2x dy/dx = x(9x + 2)

How do you solve a Differential equation using integrating factors?


Write tan(3x) in terms of tan(x). Hence show that the roots of t^3 - 3t^2 - 3t + 1 = 0 are tan(pi/12), tan(5pi/12) and tan(3pi/4)


A curve C has equation y = 3x^4 - 8x^3 - 3. Find dy/dx and d2y/dx2. Verify C has a stationary point at x = 2. Determine the nature of this stationary point, giving a reason for the answer.


A curve has the equation, 6x^2 +3xy−y^2 +6=0 and passes through the point A (-5, 10). Find the equation of the normal to the curve at A.
