When you differentiate, you multiply by the old power and decrease the power by 1. If the expression has a constant in it, this differentiates to 0. 

So the answer is 3y^(3-1) + ...

This is a simple partial fraction to solve as the denominator has already been given to you as a factorised quadratic. 

Because the x terms are to the dgree 1 aka x¹ we use the...

since f(x)=0 write

9x²-4=0

move the x's to one side and the numbers to the other.

so 9x²=4

then to get rid of the 9 divide ...

In order to differentiate this expression, you need to use the chain rule. 

The chain rule gives: f'(x) = uv' + u'v.

The u and the v are two parts of the o...

This is a difficult question that you only need to know the result of.However, it's a good exercise to derive it. 

Starting with f(x)=a^x we can take the natural logarithm of bo...
