y =(4x)/(x^2+5) (a) Find dy/dx, writing your answer as a single fraction in its simplest form. (b) Hence find the set of values of x for which dy/dx<0

dy/dx = 4/(x^2+5) - 4x(2x)/(x^2+5)dy/dx= 4(5-x^2)/(x^2+5)^2Part B4(5-x^2)/(x^2+5)^2<05-x^2<05<x^2

Find dy/dx if y= sinx/2x+1


Sketch the graph y = 2sin(4x)


A curve has equation x = (y+5)ln(2y-7); (i) Find dx/dy in terms of y; (ii) Find the gradient of the curve where it crosses the y-axis.


A curve has equation y = (x-1)e^(-3x). The curve has a stationary point M. Show that the x-coordinate of M is 4/3.
