Given that y = (1 + 3x^2)^(1/3) , use the chain rule to find dy/dx in terms of x.

Take u = 1+3x 2 , this gives that y = u 1/3 . By the chain rule we have that dy/dx = dy/du * du/dx. By differentiating y = u 1/3 with respect to u gives dy/du = (1/3)u -2/3 . By differentiating u = 1 + 3x 2 ...

A curve has the equation y=3x^3 - 7x^2+52. Find the area under the curve between x=2 and the y-axis.

With a question like this. Firstly you have to read it, of course. But more importantly you have to understand what it is asking of you. So it is asking to find the area with boundaries at x=2 and the y axis...
