Differentiate y^3 + 3y^2 + 5

When you differentiate, you multiply by the old power and decrease the power by 1. If the expression has a constant in it, this differentiates to 0. 

So the answer is 3y^(3-1) + (3x2)y^(2-1) + 0 = 3y^2 +6y

Why is the differential of a constant zero?


Proof by Induction - "What's the point if we already know the answer?"


The curve C has the parametric equations x=4t+3 and y+ 4t +8 +5/(2t). Find the value of dy/dx at the point on curve C where t=2.


Given that y = 5x^(3) + 7x + 3, find dy/dx
