A curve has equation (x+y)^2=x*y^2, find the gradient of the curve at a point where x=1

  1. Differentiating left hand side: 2(x+y)(1+dy/dx) from the chain rule 2. Differentiating right hand side: y2+2xy(dy/dx) from the product rule 3. Equating sides and taking out factors of dy/...

Find the equation of a straight line that passes through the coordinates (12,-10) and (5,4). Leaving your answer in the form y = mx + c

Finding the gradient (m): The gradient is the change in y-axis over the change in x-axis Δy = -10-4= -14        Δx = 12-5=7 Δy/Δx = -14/7 = -2 Ac...

The polynomial f(x) is define by f(x) = 3x^3 + 2x^2 - 8x + 4. Evaluate f(2).

f(x) = 3x^3 + 2x^2 - 8x + 4

f(2) = 3(2)^3 + 2(2)^2 - 8(2) + 4

f(2) = 3(8) + 2(4) - 8(2) + 4

f(2) = 24 + 8 - 16 +4

f(2) = 20

If y = 2/3 x^3 + x^2; a) What is dy/dx? b) Where are the turning points? c) What are the nature of the turning points?

a) By simple parametric differentiation of each term, dy/dx = 2x^2 + 2x b) The condition for a turning point is the gradient (dy/dx) at that point is zero. 0 = x(2x + 2) so either x=0 or 2x+2=0. Therefore...

Integrate x*sin(x) with respect to x.

We integrate by parts: u=x   u'=1;  v'=sin(x)  v=-cos(x) integral(xsin(x)dx) = -xcos(x) + integral(cos(x)dx) = -x*cos(x) + sin(x) + C where C is a constant.
