How do I plot a line on a graph, given the equation y=2x+1 ?

A simple way to do this is to use substitution. You can pick values for x such as x=0,1,2 and find the values for y. When you have two or more coordinates you can plot the line.

In this c...

Given that: y = 5x^3 + 7x + 3. What is dy/dx? What is d^2y/dx^2?

Firslty, the common rule when differentiating is nxm has the derivative of (n)(m)xm-1.

Therefore applying this rule to each individual component of the function:

Differentiate y=x/sin(x)

This equation has one function of x divided by another function of x, we therefore have to use the quotient rule and is written in the form f(x)/g(x). 

The quotient rule is therefore
