The volume, V, of water in a tank at time t seconds is given by V = 1/3*t^6 - 2*t^4 + 3*t^2, for t=>0. (i) Find dV/dt

The differential of a function is is rate of range of that function. Therefore to find dV/dt, we are finding the rate of change of the volume per unit time.Recall, in order to differentiate a term, e.g. x...

Differentiate with respect to x: y = xln[2x]

This is an example of a question where we would have to use the product rule for differentiation, because we have two functions multiplied together ( x and ln(2x) ).If we have: y = uv, where u and v are f...

Solve 8x + 9y = 3 and x + y = 0.

We have 8x + 9y = 3 [1] and x + y = 0 [2].We can make x or y the subject. Take y as subject we have y = -x [3].We substitute [3] into [1] and get 8x - 9x = 3 --> -x = 3 --> x = -3.Substituting x = -...
