Can re-write function as y=4x^1/2Then follow the standard steps for differentiating a power. Take the 1/2 down and multiply by the number in front of the x, in this case 4, to give 2. Now reduce...

Firstky differentiate to gain an equation for the gradient.Differentiating gives:dy/dx = 6x²Insert x = 2 into the above equation to find the gradient at that particular point of the curve.When ...

This question is about turning points of a curve, these occur when the gradient of a line is zero. In its current form, the equation of the curve tells us nothing about the gradient of the curve; it must ...

Integration is the opposite of differentiation.First of all take your 2x³ So in differentiation you would times the power by the coefficient and then minus one from the power.This would give,6x...

The chain rule is used to differentiate when there is a function within another function. For example y=(4x+6)^0.5, y=(x+1)³The general formula for the chain rule is dy/dx= dy/d...
