Given y = x(3x+ 5)^3. Find dy/dx.

First we notice that y can be written as the product of two functions of x, u = x and v = (3x + 5)^3. This means we can use the product rule to differentiate which is dy/dx = uv' + vu'. We can plug our fu...

Find the minimum value of the function, f(x)= x^2 + 5x + 2, where x belongs to the set of Real numbers

We first differentiate f(x), and we get f'(x)=2x + 5. We then set this equal to 0 and then solve for x. We get that xmin= -2.5. We check whether this was indeed a minimum, by calculating the second deriva...

Find the gradient at the point (0, ln 2) on the curve with equation e^2y = 5 − e^−x . [4]

Figure out what skills are being tested: implicit differentiation and exponentials and logarithms.e2y = 5 - e-x2e2y(dy/dx) = e-x(dy/dx) = e-x/ 2e
