To solve simulatenous equations there are two main methods, substitution and elimintion. The first method requires the principle where if x is equal to a number, say x=2 then we can substitute this in, fo...

f'(x)= 3x^2+1/3x^(-2/3)

To differentiate you need to multiply the coefficant of the x dependent terms by the powers and then the power of x goes down by one. 

For example: differentiate f(x)...

To maintain the equality everything that is done to one side needs to be done also to the other. First, we square both sides to get rid of the power on the right-hand side. What we get is p^2 = (x+y)/5. N...

First, expand the brackets. This will give us 10x^3/2 - 20x. Now to integrate this expression we have to increase the power of each term by one and then divide them by the number which becomes the new pow...

First we need to find the derivatives of x and y in terms of t. dx/dt can be found using the chain rule. Differentiating the inside of the bracket gives us 2. Multiplying the outside gives -2sin(2t) (Deri...
