Given that y = 5x^2 - 4/(x^3), x not equal to 0, find dy/dx.

y = 5x2 - 4/x3

1/x can be written as x-1, which means our equation can also be written as y = 5x2 - 4x-3.

dy/dx means ...

What is the difference between a definite integral and an indefinite integral?

A definite integral is actually a numerical value, which the represents the area under a graph between two points. For example, if you integrated f(x) between two values (lets call them a and b), the answ...

G(x)=x^3 + 1, h(x)=3^x; solve G(h(a))=244

First combine the two functions so that we have an equation for a to solve:

G(h(a)) = (3^x)^3 + 1 = 3^(3x) + 1 = 244

which gives

3^(3x) = 243

Now...

Find the tangent to the curve y = x^2 + 3x + 2 at x = 1

First, we differentiate y = x^2 + 3x + 2 to find the slope of the curve at any given x point:

dy/dx = 2x + 3

So at x = 1, dy/dx = 2 + 3 = 5

We know that straig...
