How do I find the expression for the nth term in a series of numbers?

First write down the series of numbers e.g. 8, 12, 16, 20. Calculate the difference between each term in the series 12-8 = 4, 16-12 = 4, 20-16 = 4 This shows that the expression will begin with 4n as the dif...

Differentiate with respect to x: y=(6x^2-1)/2sqrt(x)

1st Step: Must separate the fractions and simplify: y= (6x 2 -1)/2sqrt(x)= 6x 2 /(2x 1/2 ) - 1/(2x 1/2 ) Cancel 6 with 2 and x 2 with x 1/2 => y= 3x 3/2 - x -1/2 /2 2nd Step: Differentiate: dy/dx= (9/2)x ...
