A cuboid has a rectangular cross section where the length of the rectangle is equal to twice its width x cm. THe volume is 81 cm^3. a) show that the total length L cm of the cuboid is given by L=12x+162/x^2

Volume=81 cm3 

b=81/2x2 

L=4x+4(2x)+ 4(b)

L=4(x)+4(2x)+4(81/2x2

L=12x+ 162/x2

How would you integrate ln x

You would use the product rule. uv'=uv- u'vdx. In this case we would allocate u= ln x and v'=1 so u'=1/x and v=x so uv=xlnx whilst u'v=x/x=1 so we would have xln(x) -1dx. Next we would get xln(x)-x +c

A curve has the equation y=sin(x)cos(x), find the gradient of this curve when x = pi. (4 marks)

Option 1 - Differentiate using product rule giving dy/dx = cos2(x) - sin2(x). (2 marks) Subbing in x as pi (1 mark) then gives (-1)+ (0). ...

how do you differentiate y=x^2 from first principles?

let us start by taking two points on the curve y=x2, the first with x-coordinate x, and the second x+Δx and drawing a straight line between them. We can form a right-angled triangle, with two s...

What is 'differentiation'?

Differentiating a function, f(x,t) with respect to a varible, such as x or t, tells you rate of change of the fucntion with respect to that varible.  By subbing in a value for x into you differentiated fu...
