find dy/dx when y=x^3 + sin2x

so this question is asking you to differentiate x3 + sin2xwe know that xn differentiates do nxn-1, so using that x3 will differentiate to 3x2we know that sinx differentiates to cosx and 2x differentiates to 2, so sin2x (by chain rule) differentiates to 2cos2xthen adding them, we get dy/dx = 3x2+2cos2x

When do I use the product rule as opposed to the chain rule?


The equation of a line is y=3x – x^3 a) Find the coordinates of the stationary points in this curve, stating whether they are maximum or minimum points b) Find the gradient of a tangent to that curve at the point (2,4)


Differentiate: y = xsin(x)


Integrate sin^2(x)
