Let g (x) = 2x sin x . (a) Find g′(x) . (b) Find the gradient of the graph of g at x = π .

a)   f'(x)=uv'+vu'     if    f(x)= uv

u=2x  u'=2  v=sin(x)   v'=cos(x)

g'(x)=2x cos(x) +2sin(x)

b)   g'(π) = 2π cos(π)+2sin(π)  = 2 π (-1) + 2 (0)

      g'(π) = -2π

Differentiate sin(x)cos(x) using the product rule.

The product rule states (assuming x' is the differential of x): (fg)​′​​=f​′​​g+fg​′​​ Substitute the values into the rule: (sin(x)cos(x))' = sin(x)'cos(x) + sin(x)cos(x)' (sin(x)cos(x))'...

For the equation y=2x+7, what is the gradient and the y intercept?

For all straight line equations as the one above, the equation is y=mx+c where: m is the gradient, c is the y-intercept. Thus from the arrangement of the given equation, gradient ...

What is 2/5 + 3/4 ?

2/5 = 8/20        3/4 = 15/20

8/20 + 15/20 = 23/20

23/20 = 1 and 3/20

i) Using implicit differentiation find dy/dx for x^2 + y^2 = 4 ii) At what points is the tangent to the curve parallel to the y axis iii) Given the line y=x+c only intersects the circle once find c given that c is positive.

I don't know how effectively I can communicate this answer via text without the whiteboard but I'll try.

i) First implicitly differentiate with respect to x: 2x + 2y * dy/dx = 0.

Rearranging...
