The Volume of a tin of radius r cm is given by V=pi*(40r-r^2-r^3). Find the positive value of r for which dV/dr=0 and find the value of V for this r.

Firstly differentiate the function V with respect to x (dV/dx)=pi*(40-2r-3r^2). Set dV/dr =0 and solve to find r. Divide both sides by pi and divide both side by -1 so that the r^2 term is positive (I per...

Nitrous acid, HNO2, is a weak Bronsted-Lowry acid with a Ka value of 4.43x10-4 mol dm-3. Calculate the pH of 0.375 mol dm-3 of HNO2.

We know how to calculate pH from H+ concentration with the equation : pH = -log₁₀[H+] So, we need to work out the concentration of H+ ions in 0.375 mol dm^-3 of nitrous acid, HNO

How do I differentiate: (3x + 7)^2?

We can see that (3x + 7)² is a 'composite function'. We can rewrite this as g(f(x)), where f(x) = 3x + 7 and g(x) = x². As you will have learnt, you will need to use the chain rule f...
