Given that x = 4sin(2y + 6), Find dy/dx in terms of x

x = 4sin(2y + 6)dx/dy = 4(2)cos(2y + 6)dx/dy = 8cos(2y + 6) ==> dy/dx = 1/8cos(2y + 6)sin2(2y + 6) + cos2(2y + 6) = 1cos(2y + 6) = √(1 - sin2(2y + 6))cos(2y + 6) = √(1 - x2/16)Hence, our final answer is:dy/dx = 1/8(√(1 - x2/16))dy/dx = 1/[2(16 - x2)1/2]

The functions f and g are defined by f : x → 2x + ln 2, g : x → e^(2x). Find the composite function gf, sketch its graph and find its range.


How do you show that (x+2) is a factor of f(x) = x^3 - 19x - 30, and then factorise f(x) completely?


Let f(x)=xln(x)-x. Find f'(x). Hence or otherwise, evaluate the integral of ln(x^3) between 1 and e.


Why do I need to add the + C when finding an indefinite integral?
