If y=3x^3e^x; find dy/dx?

Using the product rule we know that dy/dx = uv' + vu' where u = 3x^3; v = e^x. e^x differentiates to itself multiplied by any number in front of the x. u' = 9x^2; v' = e^x. Therefore dy/dx = 3x^3e...

Why do you not add the 'plus c' when finding the area under a graph using integration even though you add it when normally integrating?
when integrating with the limits, you substitute in the two limits into the integral and then take them away. As both will have added the constant 'c', you are taking c away from c and so cancel out, so i...

For a given function F(x), what does the graph of the function F(x+2) look like in comparrison to F(x)?
F(x+2) is simply F(x) but whenever you see an 'x' replace it with 'x+2'. So when x is say 3, F(x) is F(3) and F(x+2) is F(5). If we draw this out on a graph, we see that this has the effect of shifting th...

Find the x-values of the turning points on the graph, y=(3-x)(x^2-2)
The minimum point occurs where dy/dx=0

We have 2 options: 1.) Expanding the brackets 2.) The product rule of differentiation

The shortest is the product rule: dy/dx= (d/dx)(3-x).(x²

The height (h) of water flowing out of a tank decreases at a rate proportional to the square root of the height of water still in the tank. If h=9 at t=0 and h=4 at t=5, what is the water’s height at t=15? What is the physical interpretation of this?
Note: time, t, is measured in minutes, and height, h, is measured in metres.

Let k>0, a constant.

The differential equation to be solved is given by: dh/dt = - k(h)^0.5.
