Let u = x²+4x+2 so y = ln(u).

Then dy/du = 1/u and du/dx = 2x+4.

Using the chain rule we have:

dy/dx = (dy/du)*(du/dx)

= (1/u)*(2x+4)

= (2x+4)/(x²+...

The first stage is lexical analysis which takes the source code as an input and: • Removes whitespace and comments; • Converts remaining code into tokens, by breaking down the code by recognising reserved...

These problems can be tricky as they use unfamiliar trigonometric functions such as secant and cosecant. It is much easier to approach these problems by replacing these trigonometric functions with more f...

As Q₃ remains stationary, it is clear that it is not accelerating. Thus we can deduce from Newton's second law that there is no resultant force acting upon the charge. However there are still e...

Inflation is a continuous or persistent rise in the price level, or can be seen a fall in the value of money (if bread goes from costing £1 a loaf to £1.10, it means £1 becomes less valuable with the incr...
