Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line 3x+5y=7 and passes through point (-2,-3) in the form px+qy+r=0

Gradient of line 3x+5y=7: 5y=-3x+7, y=-3/5x+7/5 gradient = -3/5 Gradient of perpendicular line: 5/3 Perpendicular line with points: y+3=5/3(x+2), 3y+9=5(x+2), 3y+9=5x+10, 5x-3y+1=0

Differentiate y=sin(x)*x^2.

Using the chain rule, we let u = sin(x) and v = x^2. Then dy/dx = udv/dx + vdu/dx. dv/dx = 2x and du/dx = cos(x). So dy/dx = sin(x)2x + x^2cos(x).
