First, notice that 1/(x^2) = x^(-2)dy/dx = d/dx (x^(-2) + 4x)The derivative of the sum is the sum of the derivatives= d/dx (x^(-2)) + d/dx (4x)The derivative of x^n is nx^(n-1), for every real number n, a...

First, we use 1 - sin(x)^2 = cos(x)^2 and get:(LHS) (cos(x)^2 + 4 sin(x)^2)/(1-sin(x)^2)= (cos(x)^2 + 4 sin(x)^2)/cos(x)^2= 1 + 4 (sin(x)/cos(x))^2= 1 + 4 tan(x)^2Now we know that the left hand side is eq...

When adding fractions, the denominators(the numbers at the bottom of the fractions) must be the same. If they are already the same, then you simply add the numer...

When a question asks you to make something the subject of an equation, it is asking you to rearrange it to get it in the form of, for example when 'p' is the subject, 'p = ....'

First we ...
