FP2 (old specification) - How do you find the derivative of arsinhx?

  1. y = arsinhx We can rearrange this to be 2) sinhy = x, which makes this challenge slightly easier as we know that the derivative of sinhx is coshx and vice versa.Knowing the above we get coshy(dy/dx)...

Find the tangent to the curve y = x^2 + 3x + 2 that passes through the point (-1,0), sketch the curve and the tangent.

Differentiate to find dy/dx = 3x + 2;at point (-1,0) dy/dx = -1substitute in to y = mx + c, noting m = -1 and the line passes through (-1,0) yields c = -1y = -x - 1, simple to sketch this line.curve sketc...

Show that cosh(x+y) = cosh(x)cosh(y) + sinh(x)sinh(y)

RHS: cosh(x)cosh(y) + sinh(x)sinh(y) = 1/4(e^x + e^-x)(e^y + e^-y) + 1/4(e^x - e^-x)(e^y - e^-y) = 1/4(e^x.e^y + e^x.e^-y + e^-x.e^y + e^-x.e^-y + e^x.e^y - e^x.e^-y - e^-x.e^y + e^-x.e^-y) = 1/4(2e^x.e^y...

A curve has equation y = (12x^1/2)-x^3/2

y = 12x1/2 - x3/2
First take the 1/2 power and multiply by the integer in front of the x (so 12 x 1/2 = 6), then minus 1 from the power (1/2 - 1 = -1/2) and replace the power ab...

Find the stationary point of the function f(x) = x^2 +2x + 5

We can find stationary points of functions by using differentiation, we start this by assessing each term individually, we start with the first term x2, we first start by taking the power term ...
