To find an extreme point of a function you must first take the derivative of f(x) with respect to x.
As the function will peak/trough at the extreme point, the gradient at this point will be equal to...

(a)To find the turning points of a curve, need to solve dy/dx=0. Using the quotient rule one can differentiate y:y=f(x)/g(x) dy/dx=(f'(x)g(x)-f(x)g'(x))/(g(x))²f(x)=3x, f'(x)=3, g(x)=(9+x^2...

Try differentiating:sin(x)cos(z-x)+cos(x)sin(z-x)with respect to x and for constant z, then simply the derivative you deduce, then integrate throughout the simplified equation. See what happens!

It depends on how much it changes. For instance, if some object does undergo as good as makes no difference constant acceleration, then the SUVAT equations apply quite well to the circumstances a...

There are two definitions of the sine and cosine functions that anyone who uses contemporary maths, and I do mean anyone, uses silently or otherwise. The first is as follows:'Rotate the point (1,0) in Euc...
