A curve has equation y^3+2xy+x^2-5=0. Find dy/dx.

To find the derivative of this, we must differentiate each term with respect to x. This implies d/dx(y^3+2xy+x^2-5=0). We can differentiate each term seperately so d/dx(y^3+2xy+x^2-5=0) is equal to d/dx(y...

Frank owns an ice cream van. When he bought the van five years ago and an ice cream cost £1.50. If the price of an ice cream increases by 3% a year how much does an ice cream cost now?

new amount = old amount * (1 + interest)^(number of times interest has occured)

new amount = 1.50 * (1 + 0.03)^5 = £1.74 (rounded to 2 decimal places)

Differentiate y = x^3 + 2x^2 + 4x + 7

To differentiate you bring the power down and multiply it by any coefficients (numbers in front of the xs) then subtract one from the power 

So x3 becomes 3x2 

2x2...

What is the indefinite integral of (x^4)*(-sin(x)) dx

Use integration by parts. Let u = x^4 and let dv/dx = -sin(x). Find du/dx = 4x^3 and fin v = cos(x). Use the equation uv - int (v du/dx) = x^4 cos(x) - 4((x^4/4)*(sin(x)) = x^4 cos(x) - x^4 sin(x) = x^4 (...
