(a) To find the second derivative of f(x) we must differentiate f twice.the first derivative of f is f'(x)= 3x^2 + 6xthe second derivative therefore is f''(x)= 6x +6
(b) The integral of f(x) with res...

When solving an inequality, you want to get all of the x terms on one side, just like when you're solving an equation. Therefore, adding 10x to each side would give us:4x (+10x) > 7 - 10x (+10x) which ...

2^2x - 6(2^x ) + 5 = 0let y = 2^xy² - 6y + 5 = 0(y-5)(y-1) = 0 y=5, y=12^x = 5, therefore, x = log₂5 = 2.32 (3 s.f.)2^x = 1, therefo...

Firstly, establish that the correct method to do this is via differentiation: specifically implicit differentiation. To find the gradient, we need to find dy/dx. The differential with res...

As f(x) is in the form of u(x)/v(x) we can apply the rule that f'(x) = (u'(x)*v(x) - v'(x)*u(x))/(v(x)²), pulled from the C3 formula booklet.
If u(x) = sin(2x) then u'(x) = 2cos(2x).
