Differentiate 4x^2 + 2ln3x + e^x

To differentiate x2 you bring the power of x down, then reduce the power of x by 1, so d/dx(x2) = 2x1

ln3x differentiates to (d/dx(3x))/3x = 3/3x = 1/x

e^x differentiates to (d/dx(x))e^x = 1e^x

Therefore, d/dx(4x2 + 2ln3x + ex) = 4(2x) +2(1/x) + ex = 8x + 2/x + ex

Where does integration by parts come from?


Solve 4cos(2x )+ 2sin(2x) = 1 given -90° < x < 90°. Write 4cos(2x )+ 2sin(2x) in the form Rcos(2x - a), where R and a are constants.


y = 6x^2 + 8x + 2. Find dy/dx


A curve is defined for x>0 as y = 9 - 6x^2 - 12x^4 . a) Find dy/dx. b) Hence find the coordinates of any stationary points on the curve and classify them.
