The equation of curve C is 3x^2 + xy + y^2 - 4x - 6y + 7 = 0. Use implicit differentiation to find dy/dx in terms of x and y.

6x + xdy/dx + y + 2ydy/dx - 4 - 6dy/dx = 0xdy/dx + 2ydy/dx - 6dy/dx = 4 - 6x - ydy/dx (x + 2y - 6) = 4 - 6x - ydy/dx = (4-6x-y)/x+2y-6)

A curve has an equation y=3x-2x^2-x^3. Find the x-coordinate(s) of the stationary point(s) of the curve.


Solve the simultaneous equations: x^2 + y^2 = 10 and x + 2y = 5


Differentiate, with respect to x, e^3x + ln 2x,


differentiate: y=[xcos(x^3)]/[(x^4 + 1)^3] with respect to x
