De Moivres theorem states that e^j(theta) = cos (theta) +jsin (theta) and this can be used to convert powered trig functions to the form of regular sines and cosines (i.e. sin^3(x) into a sum of terms inc...

The product rule states that (uv)' = u'v + uv' Therefore we know that to find dy/dx we must have (sin(2x))'(4x+1)^3 +sin(2x)((4x+1)^3)' We can differentiate sin(2x) to 2cos(2x) and using the chain rule we...

First, you have to understand that both are essentially the same; the formula is based on the completing the square method. ax^2+b^x+c=0 can with appropriate steps be transformed to x = (-b +- root(b^2-4a...

Let's first go to the whiteboard where I will explain what a logarithm is. The equation, loga(b) = x, could be re-written into the form, a^x = b. This is true for all logarithmic equations. There is a rul...

Differentiate the curve to get the gradient function: f'(x)= 2x + 5. Solve for x when f'(x) = 0 --> 2x + 5 = 0, 2x = -5, x = -5/2 Substitute into the original equation to find y: (-2.5)^2 + 5 * -2.5 + ...
