Via the product rule, or otherwise, differentiate 'y = xsin(x)'.

SInce, for y = uv, dy/dx = uv' + vu', where u' = du/dx, therefore:dy/dx = (1sin(x)) + (xcos(x)) = sin(x) + xcos(x)

For the curve y = 2x^2+4x+5, find the co-ordinates of the stationary point and determine whether it is a minimum or maximum point.


Perhaps an introduction to integration with a simple integral, e.g. the integral of x^2


Time, T, is measured in tenths of a second with respect to distance x, is given by T(x)= 5(36+(x^2))^(1/2)+4(20-x). Find the value of x which minimises the time taken, hence calculate the minimum time.


Find the first and second derivatives of: y = 6 - 3x -4x^-3, and find the x coordinates of the line's turning points
