Differentiate the equation y = (2x+5)^2 using the chain rule to determine the x coordinate of a stationary point on the curve.

Use the chain rule as this is a composite function. Let u=2x+5.So the original equation becomes y=(u)^2.Using the chain rule: dy/dx = dy/du * du/dxdy/du = 2udu/dx = 2So dy/dx= 4uSince u=2x+5, dy/dx = 4(2x...

Show that 2sin(x) =(4cos(x)-1)/tan(x) can be written as: 6cos^2(x)-cos(x)-2=0

Rearranging gives:4cos(x)-1 = 2sin(x)tan(x) Substituting in tan(x)=sin(x)/cos(x) gives:4cos(x)-1 = 2sin(x)(sin(x)/cos(x))2sin2(x)=4cos2(x)-4cos(x)Substituting in 2sin2<...
