solve dy/dx = y(sec x)^2

Firstly, this differential equation should be solved using the separation of variables method, where all y terms are moved the left hand side of the equation and all x terms are moved to the right hand side....

The function f is defined as f(x) = e^(x-4). Find the inverse of f and state its domain.

Firstly, we let y=f(x) so that y=e x-4 . The aim of this question is to find the inverse of y=f(x), and in order to do that, we must rearrange the question so that x becomes the subject of the equation, whic...

How would you find the minimum turning point of the function y = x^3 + 2x^2 - 4x + 10

The first step in solving the equation is to find the stationary points of the function, these are the points where the gradient is equal to zero. In order to find these points, first differentiate using the...
