Solve the following: sinx - cosx = 0 for 0≤x≤360

We know that sinx/cosx = tanx. Therefore we can write sinx - cosx = 0 as sinx = cosx . By diving both sides by cosx, we get tanx = 1. By taking tan inverse of both sides, we can see that for 0≤x≤360, we get x to be 45 or 225.

I don't understand how to visualise differentiation, please could you show my an example to allow me to understand what it actually is better?


given y=(1+x)^2, find dy/dx


Let f(x)=x^3-6x+3. i)Differentiate f(x) to find dy/dx. ii) Given that dy/dx = 12, find the value of x.


If y = 4x^3 - 6x^2 + 7 work out dy/dx for this expression
