Differentiate the function y = (x^2)/(3x-1) with respect to x.

This requires use of the quotient rule: d/dx[f(x)/g(x)] = [g(x)f'(x) - g'(x)f(x)]/[g(x)^2]dy/dx = ([(3x-1)*2x] - 3x^2)/[(3x-1)^2],= (3x^2-2x)/[(3x-1)^2],=[x(3x-2)]/[(3x-1)^2]

Why does the second derivative tell us something about a function?

A curve has equation (x+y)^2=x*y^2, find the gradient of the curve at a point where x=1

A curve C is mapped by the equation ( 1+x)(4-x). The curve intersects the x-axis at x = –1 and x = 4. A region R is bounded by C and the x-axis. Use calculus to find the exact area of R.
