Find the gradient of the equation y=e^2x.ln(4x^2) when x=5.

>First know that you must differentiate to find the gradient. To differentiate this function you must use the product rule which is:>d/dx(f(x)g(x))=f(x)g'(x)+f'(x)g(x)>Now apply this rule to the formula where f(x)=e2x and g(x)=ln4x2>y=e2x.ln4x2>y' (this is another way of writing f'(x))= e2x.8x/4x2+2e2x.ln4x2>Now sub in x=5 and simplify:e2585/4(52)+2e25*ln4(52)=0.4e10+2e10*ln100

A curve is defined by the parametric equations x = 3^(-t) + 1, y = 2 x 2^(t). Show that dy\dx = -2 x 3^(2t).


How do I use the product rule for differentiation?


Differentiate with respect to x: i) y=x^3ln(2x) ii) y=(x+sin(2x))^3


Find the turning point of the function y=f(x)=x^2+4x+4 and state wether it is a minimum or maximum value.
