Differentiate: y = 2 ^ x

y = 2 ^ x take ln of both sides ln( y) = ln (2 ^ x) using the log rules we can bring the power of x down in front of the ln ln( y ) = x*ln(2) differentiate both sides wrt x ( 1 / y ) * dy / dx = ln(2) dy / d...

The points A and B have coordinates (2,4,1) and (3,2,-1) respectively. The point C is such that OC = 2OB, where O is the origin. Find the distance between A and C.

To find the distance between the points A and C, we want to find the magnitude of the vector AC. In order to do this, we must first find the vector AC, which we do by using their position vectors. We are giv...

what is the equation of the normal line to the curve y=x^2-4x+3 at the point (5,8)?

first we need to work out the gradient of the tangent at (5,8). so first differentiate the equation once with respect to x. this gives is dy/dx=2x-4. so at (5,8) the gradient of the tangent is 6. this means ...
