Differentiate x^3+ x^2+2=y

This equals to dy/dx= 1/3 x2+1/3 x1This is because we divide by the power and then minus one from the powerSo it becomes x3-1/3 which can be simplified to 1/3 x2The 2 is differentiated to 0 because it is just a constant

You're on a game show and have a choice of three boxes, in one box is £10, 000 in the other two are nothing. You pick one box, the host then opens one of the other boxes showing it's empty, should you stick or switch?


Why/How does differentiation work?


Use the addition formulas: sin(x+y)=sin(x)*cos(y)+sin(y)*cos(x), cos(x+y)=cos(x)*cos(y)-sin(x)*sin(y) to derive sin(2x), cos(2x), sin(x)+sin(y).


Solve x^2=3(x-1)^2
