Find dy/dx for f(x)=3x^2 +5x

This is a simple differentiation example of a polynomial, where one uses the the standard algorithm - i.e.[nx^n-1] Ina polynomial, one differentiates all parts separately. First Take 3x^2. Multiply by the...

Given that y = (sin(6x))(sec(2x) ), find dy/dx

We can find dy/dx by using the product rule: If y=uv then dy/dx = u (dv/dx)+ v (du/dx). In this question u= sin(6x) and v= sec(2x).So du/dx= 6cos(6x) and dv/dx=2sec(2x)tan(2x), using our rules for differe...

a) Differentiate and b) integrate f(x)=xcos(2x) with respect to x

To differentiate xcos(2x), you first have to use the product rule, because this function is two functions (x and cos(2x) multiplied togetherNow you have x*(cos(2x))'+cos(2x)To differentiate cos(2x) you ha...
