Differentiate the expression x^6+5x^4+3 with respect to x

Using the general rule d/dx(a*x^n) = a *n * x^(n-1) and the linearity of the derivative operator, we obtain:
6x^5+20x^3+0 = 6x^5+20x^3

How do i use chain rule to calculate the derivative dy/dx of a curve given by 2 "parametric equations": x=(t-1)^3, y=3t-8/t^2


Solve for 0<=θ<π, the equation sin3θ-(sqrt3)cosθ=0 (C2)


A curve has parametric equations x = 1 - cos(t), y = sin(t)sin(2t) for 0 <= t <= pi. Find the coordinates where the curve meets the x-axis.


How do I find the root of a quadratic equation?
