Find the tangent to the curve y=x^2 +2x at point (1,3)

In order to find the gradient we need to differentiate d/Dx = 2x + 2using our point, the gradient is 4using y = mx+cy = 4x +cusing our pointsy= 4x - 1

A curve has parametric equations x= 2sin(t) , y= cos(2t) + 2sin(t) for -1/2 π≤t≤ 1/2π , show that dy/dx = - 2sin(t)+ 1


What is a parametric equation?


Solve dy/dx= (x√(x^2+3))/e^2y given that y=0 when x=1, giving your answer in the form y = f(x)


Integrate y=x^2 between the limits x=3 and x=1
