Differentiate (2a+3)^5/2 with respect to a

Let u=2a+3, therefore du/da=2. Let y=u^5/2, therefore dy/du=5/2(u)^3/2 Hence dy/da=du/da*dy/du=2(5/2)*u^3/2=5u^3/2

A line L is parallel to y=4x+5 and passes through the point (-1, 6). Find the equation of the line L in the form y=ax+b . Find also the coordinates of its intersections with the axes.

Since L is parallel to y=4x+5 we know that the two lines have the same gradient. The gradient of a line in the form y=ax+b has is a, which means the gradient of y=4x+5 is 4, so L is y=4x+b and we just nee...
