f(x) = x^3 - 13x^2 + 55x - 75 , find the gradient of the tangent at x=3

f(x) = yy= x³- 13x² + 55x - 751) find f'(x) [=dy/dx] Differentiation is (1) multiplying the coefficient by the original power --> 2) reducing the original power by 1dy/dx = 3x

Solve 2sin2θ = 1 + cos2θ for 0° ≤ θ ≤ 180°

sin2θ = 2sinθcosθ (double angle formula for sine)cos2θ = cos²θ - sin²θ (double angle formula for cosine) = 2cos²θ - 1 (utilising the trignometric identit...

Integrate the function f(x) = 1/(4x-1)

t Using the fact that d/dx ( ln g(x)) = g'(x)/g(x), we can see that the integral of this function will be an ln function. From observing f(x) we see that if the answer was ln(4x-1) then f(x) would need to...

Integrate (1 - x^2)^(-0.5)dx within the limits 0 and 1

The answer is π/2. The key trick to solving this problem is to change variables by using the substitution x = sin(θ). We then need to change the differential and the limits too.
