5q^2.p^12/10(q.p^3)^2

First of all, the best thing to do is to split the question into its different components:

5 x q^2 x p^12 / 10 (q x p^3)^2

Next we want to get rid of the brackets. With indices there are sev...

A curve C has the equation x^3 + 6xy + y^2 = 0. Find dy/dx in terms of x and y.

By differentiating with respect to x, 3x^2+6x(dy/dx)+6y+2y(dy/dx)=0 So, dy/dx(6x+2y)=-3x^2-6y so dy/dx = -(3x^2+6y)/(2(3x+y))
