Find the derivative, dy/dx, of y = 8xcos(3x).

Let u= 8x then du/dx = 8Let v= cos(3x) then dv/dx = -3sin(3x)Therefore using the product rule: dy/dx = (cos(3x))(8) + (8x)(-3sin(3x))So dy/dx = 8cos(3x) - 24xsin(3x) .

How do I rationalise the denominator of a fraction which consists of surds?


Solve, correct to 2 decimal places, the equation cot(2x)=3 for 0°<x<180°


Solve 4cos(2x )+ 2sin(2x) = 1 given -90° < x < 90°. Write 4cos(2x )+ 2sin(2x) in the form Rcos(2x - a), where R and a are constants.


what does 'differentiation' mean?
