Differentiate the following equation: f(x) = 5x^3 + 6x^2 - 12x + 4

Answer:
f'(x) = 15x^2 + 12x -12
This is according to basic rules of differentiation and is a beginner level differentiation question as following:If f(x) = ax^nThen f'(x) = x(nx^n-1)

What method should I use to differentiate equations with an x as the power of a number. E.g. 2^x

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.

Sketch the graph of y=3sin(2x +pi/2)

A cubic curve has equation y x3 3x2 1. (i) Use calculus to find the coordinates of the turning points on this curve. Determine the nature of these turning points.
