Find the turning points of the curve y=2x^3 - 3x^2 - 14.

First differentiate the equation: dy/dx = 6x^2 - 6xSet this equal to 0 as at turning points the change in gradient is 0: 0 = 6x^2 - 6x6x(x-1)=06x=0 therefore x=0(x-1)=0 therefore x=1x=1,0Now substitute ba...

Solve the equation: 13y − 5 = 9y + 27.

13y - 5 = 9y + 27 First we must collect all similar terms together on either side of the equation: 13y - 9y = 27 + 5. As you can see, if a term is moved to the other side of the equation, the opposite sig...

y = arcsec(x), Find dy/dx.

The key to this problem is to apply sec to both sides, and then differentiate implicitly: sec(y)=x; dsec(y)/dx = 1; tan(y)sec(y)dy/dx = 1; dy/dx = 1/(tan(y)sec(y)). Then using the fact that sec(y)=x and t...
