Find the turning point of the line y = x^2 + 2x -1

d(x2+2x-1)/dx = 2x+2when dy/dx = 0, x = -1when x = -1, y = -2
therefore the turning point is (-1,-2)

Derive Law of Cosines using Pythagorean Theorem


I'm supposed to calculate the differential of f(x)= sin(x)*ln(x)*(x-4)^2 using the product rule. I know what the product rule is but I can't split this into two bits that are easy to differentiate. How do I do it?


If y=cos(3x)cosec(4x), find dy/dx.
