Given that y=((3x+1)^2)*cos(3x), find dy/dx.

As why is in the for y=uv where u and v are funtions of x, dy/dx=u'v+v'u (where ' implies the derivative) u=(3x+1)2, v=cos(3x) therefore using the chain rule u'=23(3x+1)=18x+6 and v'=-3sin(3x). Using this, dy/dy=(18x+6)*cos(3x)-3(3x+1)2*sin(3x)

How do I find the equation of the tangent of a curve at a specific point.


The curve C has equation y = (x^2 -4x - 2)^2. Point P lies on C and has coordinates (3,N). Find: a) the value of N. b) the equation of the tangent to C at the point P, in the form y=mx+c where m and c are constants to be found. c) determine d^2y/dx^2.
