Can you give an example of using the chain rule for differentiation? Example: Let y=(6 + 2x + 2x^2)^3, find dy/dx.

The chain rule is given by dy/dx= (dy/du)(du/dx). If we set u=6+2x+2x 2 then, y=u 3 thus, dy/dx=(3u 2 )(2+4x) = (3(6+2x+2x 2 ) 2 )(2+4x). Example does not ask to simplify expression or evaluate at any partic...

Find the equation of the normal to the curve at the point (1, -1 ): 10yx^2 + 6x - 2y + 3 = x^3

Firstly, an expression for dy/dx needs to be found to allow us to find the gradient of the normal. As a normal is a straight line, the equation y-y 1 =m(x-x 1 ) can be used to find its equation. We are given...

Express x^2-4x+9 in the form (x-p)^2+q where p and q are integers

The first step would be to expand the second equation:(x-p)^2+qx^2-px-px+p^2+q this simplifies to x^2-2px+p^2+q After this you examine the two equations and identify their similarities such as the x^2 term a...
