y=4sin(kx) write down dy/dx.

let u=kx,du/dx=ky= 4 sin(u)dy/du= 4cos(u)
dy/dx= du/dx*dy/du = 4kcos(u) =4kcos(kx)

Show that, for all a, b and c, a^log_b (c) = c^log_b (a).

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

Write 5cos(theta) – 2sin(theta) in the form Rcos(theta + alpha), where R and alpha are constants, R > 0 and 0 <=alpha < 2 π Give the exact value of R and give the value of alpha in radians to 3 decimal places.

(Follow on from previous question) A curve has equation y= x^2+3x+2. Use your previous results to i) find the vertex of the curve ii) find the equation of the line of symmetry of the curve
