What is ln(10)-ln(5)?

Laws of logs tells us that ln(a) - ln(b) = ln(a/b) Therefore ln(10)-ln(5) = ln(10/5) = ln(2)

differentiate 4x^3 + 3x^2 -5x +1

when differentiating, we multiply the power by the coefficient and then take the power away by 1 so : y= 4x^3 + 3x^2 -5x +1 then 4 x 3= 12 and 3-1 = 2 meaning the solution is 12x^2. 2 x 3 = 6 and 2-1 = 1 giv...

Use logarithms to solve the equation 2^(5x) = 3^(2x+1) , giving the answer correct to 3 significant figures

Taking the log of both sides we get 5x * ln2 = (2x+1) * ln3. Taking everything that contains x to the left side: x * (5 ln2 - 2 ln3) = ln3. Therefore x=ln3/(5 ln2 - 2 ln3) x is approx 0.866

Find dy/dx of the curve x^3+5xy-2y^2-57=0

3x 2 +5y+5x(dy/dx)-4y(dy/dx)=0 3x 2 +5y=(5x-4y)dy/dx dy/dx=(3x 2 +5y)/(5x-4y)

Given that y=x/(2x+5) find dy/dx.

Using the quotient rule: Let u=x and v=2x+5 then du/dx= 1 and dv/dx=2 Hence dy/dx=[(2x+5)x1- (2x)]/(2x+5) 2 =5/(2x+5) 2
