If x is a real number, what are the solutions to the quadratic: 4*x^2- 4*x+1 = 0

You first calculate the delta of the equation: delta = b^2-4ac = 16 - 16 = 0 => the solution is double.x1,2 = (-b±sqrt(delta))/2/a = 4/2/4 = 1/2 which is real.so the solutions are 1/2 and 1/2.

y = 4x^3 - 5/x^2 find dy/dx


I don't understand differentiation. How does it work?


A curve has parametric equations: x=(t-1)^3 and y= 3t - 8/(t^2). Find dy/dx in terms of t. Then find the equation of the normal at the point on the curve where t=2.
