Differentiate 3x^2 + 4x - 7

In order to differentiate a number, 2 steps are needed to be made. The first is to reduce the power of the number by 1 and then multiply that value to the first number. I will run you through the given qu...

Find the coordinates of the minimum point on the curve: y = x^2 - x - 2

Start with the given equation from the question and differentiate it with respect to x to give you:dy/dx = 2x - 1The value of this gives you the slope of the curve and we know that the minimum point has a...

A curve has an equation of y = 20x - x^2 - 2x^3, with one stationary point at P=-2. Find the other stationary point, find the d^2y/dx^2 to determine if point P is a maximum or minium.

We know that a stationary point is found when the gradient of the curve is equal to zero, this is found by equaling the derivative (dy/dx) equal to zero. Differentiating the expression will find a quadrat...

Consider the infinite series S=Σ(from n=0 to infinite) u(down n) where u(down n)=lim (from n π to (n+1) π) ((sin t)/t) dt. Explain why the series is alternating.

For the first part of the question we need to try and understand what is actually happening – we have the sum of an integral – where we are summing a sequence of definite integrals. So when n = 0 we have ...

Find an equation of the curve with parametric equations x=3sin(A) and y=4cos(A), in the form bx^2+cy^2=d.

x2=9sin2(A) and y2=16cos2(A)Since sin2(A)+cos2(A)=116x2+9y2=16 x 916x2+9y2=144
