find dy/dx of x^1/2 + 4/(x^1/2) + 4

This can be rewritten as x1/2 + 4x-1/2+ 4, hence dy/dx = (1/2)x-1/2 - 2x-3/2

Differentiate: tan(2x) cos(x)


A curve is defined by parametric equations: x = t^(2) + 2, and y = t(4-t^(2)). Find dy/dx in terms of t, hence, define the gradient of the curve at the point where t = 2.


A curve has parametric equations x = 1 - cos(t), y = sin(t)sin(2t) for 0 <= t <= pi. Find the coordinates where the curve meets the x-axis.


solve the following definite integral by decomposition into partial fractions: \int_{1}^{2}{\frac{1}{x^2+x}}dx
