Can you differentiate y = (x^4 + x)^10

To solve this equation we will need to apply the chain rule. This states that:dy/dx = dy/du * du/dxTo make the question simpler, we shall let u = x 4 + x, and so:y = u 10 and u = x 4 + xBoth of these equatio...

Solve 2x^2-14x+12=0

Firstly, we can divide through by 2 to get a simpler form of the equation: x^2-7x+6=0. To solve this quadratic equation we need to factorise it. We do this by splitting it up into two brackets which would mu...

Three forces of magnitude 50N, PN, QN all act in a horizontal plane in equilibrium. The diagram shows the forces. DIAGRAM: QN = EAST, 50 = SOUTH, PN = 120 DEGREES ANTICLOCKWISE FROM QN a) Find P. b) Find Q.

a) Resolving vertically: Pcos(120-90)=50. Find P from this equation.b) Resolving horizontally: Psin(120-90)=Q. Find Q from this solution.

Integrate x^2 + 1/ x^3 +3x +2 using limits of 1 and 0

By noticing the the numerator (x^2 + 1) is similar to the derivative of the denominator (x^3 +3x +2) you can integrate the function by using natural logarithms, to form the logarithm ln( x^3 +3x +2). However...
