Differentiate arctan(x) with respect to x. Leave your answer in terms of x

Let y = arctan(x). Arctan(x) is difficult to differentiate but I know how to differentiate tan(x) (=sec^2(x)) so take the tan of both sides: tan(y) = x. The next step will be to differentiate both sides. ...

How do you solve a quadratic inequality eg find the values of x for which x^2 -6x +2 < -3

First we must change our inequality so that we have a zero on one side, In this case we can add three to both sides of the inequality, this gives: x^2 - 6x +5 < 0 Now let's consider the equation y = x^...

What is the differential of y =sin(2x)?

For this question we have to use the chain rule. The chain rule is dy/dx (the differential you are looking for) = du/dx (the differential of u with respect to x) * dy/du(the differential of y with respect...
