A curve is defined by the parametric equations; x=(t-1)^3, y=3t-8/(t^2), t~=0. Find dy/dx in terms of t.

dy/dx=(dy/dt)*(dt/dx); dy/dt=3+16t-3; dx/dt=3(t-1)2; dt/dx=1/3(t-1)2; dy/dx=(3+16t-3)/3(t-1)2

Solve the following equation: x^(3) - 6x^(2) + 11x - 6 = 0

x3 - 6x2 + 11x - 6 = 0
Let (x-a)(x-b)(x-c) = x3 - 6x2 + 11x - 6=> abc = -6 and a + b + c = -6 From abc=-6, find the possibilities of their values: (1,2,...

How would I differentiate y = 3xy + 2x^2 + x^2y^2 ?

Since this problem contains both xs and ys on the right hand side, we need to use implicit differentiation. This is where we use the chain rule to differentiate with regards to x the terms which contain y...

How do I calculate the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a 2x2 matrix, and what is the point of doing this calculation?

We find the eigenvalues (here called "k") by solving the characteristic equation det(M - kI) = 0. For a 2x2 matrix ((a, b), (c,d)) the determinant is ad - bc, we set this equal to zero ...

Find the derivative of y=e^(2x)*(x^2-4x-2).

Notice that y can be expressed as y=f(x)g(x), in which f(x)=e^(2x) and g(x)=x^2-4x-2.Through the product rule, we know that dy/dx=f'(x)g(x)+f(x)g'(x).Through the chain rule, we can solve f(x) by rewriting...
