Show that the derivative of tan(x) is sec^2(x), where sec(x) is defined as 1/cos(x). [Hint: think of tan(x) as a quotient of two related functions and apply the appropriate identity]

tan(x) is defined as sin(x)/cos(x) For a function which can be written as f(x) = u(x)/v(x) the quotient rule can be appliedThe quotient rule states f ' (x) = (u'v-v'u)/v^2 Applying this to the formula for...

Given that dy/dx = 6x*2 - 3x + 4 And y =14 when x=2. Express y in terms of x

Dy/dx = 6x2- 3x + 4y = 12x - 3 + c14 = 12(2) - 3 + (c)14= 24 - 3 + c14 = 21 + cc= -7y = 12x - 10

Integrate y= x^3+3x^2-4x-7 between x values 1 and 3

Firstly, integrate y with respect to dx. Increase the powers of x by 1 and then divide the coefficient of x by the new power of x. I.e.: x^3 becomes 1/4x^4. The power increases from 3 to 4 and the coeffic...

Given the functions f(x) = (x + 2)/9 and g(x) = x^3 + 6, find fg(x).

Firstly, fg(x) could be written as f[g(x)], or in other words, the function f acts on the result of x going through the function g (Bear in m...
