y = x^2 − 2*x − 24*sqrt(x) - i) find dy/dx ii) find d^2y/dx^2

Solved by differentiation with respect to x,i) dy/dx = 2x - 2 - 12x^(-1/2)ii) d^2y/dx^2 = 2 + 6*x^(-3/2)

How do we differentiate y=a^x when 'a' is an non zero real number


i) Using implicit differentiation find dy/dx for x^2 + y^2 = 4 ii) At what points is the tangent to the curve parallel to the y axis iii) Given the line y=x+c only intersects the circle once find c given that c is positive.


What is the difference between a definite integral and an indefinite integral?


The equation f(x) =x^3 + 3x is drawn on a graph between x = 0 and x = 2. The graph is then rotated around the x axis by 2π to form a solid. What is the volume of this solid?
