Solve the equation 3x^2/3 + x^1/3 − 2 = 0

Let u = x^1/3 The equation can therefore be written as: 3u^2+u-2=0 This can be factorised to: (3u-2)(u+1)+0 Therefore: u = 2/3 or u = -1 OR x^1/3 = 2/3 or x^1/3 = -1 So: x = (2/3)^3 or x = (-1)^3 x = 8/27 or...

How do you differentiate using the chain rule?

In order to differentiate using the chain rule,you first need to know the chain rule. Chain rule : dy/dt * dt/dx = dy/dx. It is basic multiplication to get rid of the common factor of 'dt' in both equations ...

Consider the arithmetic sequence 2, 5, 8, 11, ... a) Find U101 b) Find the value of n so that Un = 152

Firstly, as with any question, make sure to check your formula book in order to find any relevant equations. In this case, the one most relevant to us is U n = U 1 + d(n-1). From here we will need to find th...

A curve has equation y^3+2xy+x^2-5=0. Find dy/dx.

To find the derivative of this, we must differentiate each term with respect to x. This implies d/dx(y^3+2xy+x^2-5=0). We can differentiate each term seperately so d/dx(y^3+2xy+x^2-5=0) is equal to d/dx(y^3)...
