Given y = 2x^2 + 3x + 2 find dy/dx

To get dy/dx from a formula y in terms of x we must differentiate y with respect to x. Generic formula for term differentiation: d/dx(ax^b) = bax^b-1 = times the coefficient by the power and minus the power ...

Given that 4 sin(x) + 5 cos(x) = 0 , find the value of tan x .

Before we get started with answering the question, it is generally good practice to write down any formulas and equations you know that will help us work through the solution. So what formula do we know that...

If z is a complex number, solve the equation (z+i)* = 2iz+1 where the star (*) denotes the complex conjugate.

For questions like these it's easier to first rewrite z as z=x+iy. Once we plug this back into the original equation we get x-iy-i = 2ix-2y+1 Rearranging both sides to group together the real and imaginary t...

y=4x/(x^2+5)

Find dy/dx Remember quotient rule dy/dx=(u'v-v'u)/v^2 u=4x u'=4 v=x^2+5 v'=2x dy/dx=(20-4x^2)/(x^2+5)^2 (simplified)
