differentiate the following to find the equation for the gradient of the curve in terms of x and y: 3x^3 + 4x^2 + 5xy + 7y = 0

9x^2 + 8x + 5y +5xdy/dx + 7dy/dx = 0

9x^2 + 8x + 5y = dy/dx(-5x - 7)

dy/dx = - (9x^2 + 8x +5y)/(5x + 7)

a) i) find dy/dx of y = 3x^4 - 8x^3 - 3 ii) then find d^2y/dx^2 b) verify that x=2 at a stationary point on the curve c c) is this point a minima or a maxima


The curve C has the equation y=((x^2+4)(x-3))/2*x where x is not equal to 0 . Find the tangent to the curve C at the point where x=-1 in the form y=mx+c


How do I find the maxima and minima of a function?


Differentiate y=ln(ln(x)) with respect to x.
