A curve has an equation: (2x^2)*y +2x + 4y – cos(pi*y) = 17. Find dy/dx

You must differentiate each individual term in the equation.Firstly start with the term of the product of 2x2 * y, using the product rule (dy/dx = udv/dx + vdu/dx)Let u = 2x2

A curve f(x,y) is defined by sin(3y)+3ye^(-2x)+2x^2 = 5. Find dy/dx

In questions where we have a function of x and y equal to a constant, we need to find dy/dx indirectly.We use the formula (df/dx) + (df/dy)(dy/dx) = 0So all we do is differentiate each term in the functio...

Consider the closed curve between 0 <= theta < 2pi given by r(theta) = 6 + alpha sin theta, where alpha is some real constant strictly between 0 and 6. The area in this closed curve is 97pi/2. Calculate the value of alpha.

Student uses the definition of area [A = 1/2 integral r(theta)^2 d theta], and proceeds using standard integration techniques to give a quadratic solvable for alpha. [alpha^2 = 25] Thus, alpha = 5.
