Using first principles find the differential of x^2

Lim((f(x+h)-f(x)))/h= lim(((x+h)2 -x2)/h)=lim((h2 +2xh)/h) as h tends to 0 the limit becomes 2x

Given that y = x^4 + x^(1/3) + 3, find dy/dx


Differentiate the following: y = 3x^(1/3) + 2


Show that the funtion (x-3)(x^2+3x+1) has two stationary points and give the co-ordinates of these points


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
