differentiate with respect to x : y = x^2 -5x

to find dy/dx, multiply each item by the power of the x, and then decrease the power of the x by 1.Step 1 : 2x^2 -15x (multiplying by power of x)Step 2 : 2x^1 -15x^0Therefore:dy/dx = 2x - 5.

Given f(x) = (x^4 - 1) / (x^4 + 1), use the quotient rule to show that f'(x) = nx^3 / (x^4 + 1)^2 where n is an integer to be determined.

The curve C has an equation y = sin(2x)cos(x)^2. Find dy/dx. Find normal to curve at x = pi/3 rad, giving answer in exact form.

A curve C is defined by the parametric equations x=(4-e^(2-6t))/4 , y=e^(3t)/(3t), t doesnt = 0. Find the exact value of dy/dx at the point on C where t=2/3 .
