If, f(x) = 8x^3 + 1 / x^3 . Find f''(x).

f(x) = 8x3 + 1 / x3 >>> f(x) = 8x3 + x-3
f'(x) = 3(8x2 ) + -3(x-4) >>> f'(x) = 24x2 - 3x-4
f''(x) = 2(24x1) - 4(-3x-5)
Final Answer, f''(x) = 48x + 12x-5

find dy/dx for the equation y = 6x ^(1/2)+x+3


What is differentiation and how is it done?


a) i) find dy/dx of y = 3x^4 - 8x^3 - 3 ii) then find d^2y/dx^2 b) verify that x=2 at a stationary point on the curve c c) is this point a minima or a maxima


Using the equation cos(a+b) = cos(a)cos(b) - sin(a)sin(b) or otherwise, show that cos(2x) = 2cos^2(x) - 1.
