How to do the product rule for differentiation

To do the product rule you must have two functions multiplied together. Here you must make one function be u and the other be v. The formula from this is uv’+vu’ where v’ and u’ are the differentials of the functions u and v.

Find the co ordinates and nature of the turning points of the curve C withe equation, y=2x^3-5x^2-4x+2


Differentiate y= exp(cos^2(x)+sin^2(x)) by using the chain rule.


Perhaps an introduction to integration with a simple integral, e.g. the integral of x^2


Differentiate: f(x)=2(sin(2x))^2 with respect to x, and evaluate as a single trigonometric function.
