If y=(x^2)*(x-10), work out dy/dx

The question is pretty straightforward and asks you to find the derivative of y, which is a function of x. The most simple way to do this is to first eliminate the brackets and then derive. Thus we get y=x^3-10x^2, so dy/dx= 3x^2-20x.

Point A lies on the curve: y=x^2+5*x+8. The x-coordinate of A is -4. What is the equation of the normal to the curve at A?


x^3 + 2x^2 - 9x - 18 = (x^2 - a^2)(x + b) where a,b are integers. Work out the three linear factors of x^3 + 2x^2 - 9x - 18. (Note: x^3 indicates x cubed and x^2 indicates x squared).


The curve C is given by the equation x^4 + x^2y + y^2 = 13. Find the value of dy/dx at the point (-1,3). (A-level)
