We can start by letting y = ln(x)

What we are trying to show is that dy/dx = 1/x

Since y = ln(x), then e^y = e^ln(x) = x

Taking the derivat...

When differentiating, you want to use the formula ax^n differentiates to (an)x^(n-1), so for the example above, x^3 where a is 1, and n is 3, the differentiation is (13)x^(3-1) which results t...

This is a question taken from a core 4 paper and is a typical example of a differential equation question.

The first thing to notice about this equation is that it is "separable"...
