y = 4x / (x^2 + 5). Find dy/dx.

We use the quotient rule here which states that if y = f(x)/g(x) then dy/dx = (f'(x)g(x) - g'(x)f(x)) / (g(x)^2). Here f(x) = 4x and g(x) = x^2 + 5, so we have f'(x) = 4 , g'(x) = 2x. This gives us dy/dx ...

Find the values of k for which the equation (2k-3)x^2-kx+(k-1) has equal roots

We know that an equation has equal roots if the sqrt(b^2-4ac) term in the quadratic equation is equal to zero. Therefore using this information we can form an expression for k to be (-k)^2-4(2k-3)(k-1)=0....

Earth is being added to a pile so that, when the height of the pile is h metres, its volume is V cubic metres, where V = (h6 + 16) 1 2 − 4.Find the value of dV/dh when h = 2.

As V=(h6+16)1/2 -4, the chain rule can be used to calculate dV/dh.

dV/dh=3h5(h6+16)-1/2

h=2 can be su...
