Find the derivative of sin^2(x)

Using the chain rule we differentiate the ‘outside function’, then differentiate the ‘inside function’ and multiply both derivatives together giving 2sin(x)cos(x)

How to solve simultaneous equations with a quadratic


Chris claims that, “for any given value of x , the gradient of the curve y=2x^3 +6x^2 - 12x +3 is always greater than the gradient of the curve y=1+60x−6x^2” . Show that Chris is wrong by finding all the values of x for which his claim is not true.


The gradient of the curve at point (x,y) is given by dy/dx = [7 sqrt(x^5)] -4. where x>0. Find the equation of the curve given that the curve passes through the point 1,3.
