What is the gradient of the function f(x) = 2x^2 + 3x - 7 at the point where x = -2?

To work out the gradient of a function f(x), we need to differentiate it with respect to x, to give us f'(x). If x = a at a point, then the gradient of f(x) at that point is f'(a) (substitute a in place of x...

If n is an integer such that n>1 and f(x)=(sin(n*x))^n, what is f'(x)?

Let us denote sin(nx) = u(x), where u is a function of x. The equation is now therefore f(x) =(u(x))^n. For simplicity, we will write that as f(x) = u^n By the chain rule, we know that f'(x) = df/dx = (df/du...

If hydrogen was burnt in a chamber full of oxygen, what would be the effect on the chamber pressure and why?

The equation for the reaction is; 2H 2 +O 2 = 2H 2 O From the equation it can be seen that 2 moles of hydrogen reacts with 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of water vapour. Since the reaction used more mo...

What is [(x+1)/(3x^(2)-3)] - [1/(3x+1)] in its simplest form?

First simplify the expression; 3x^(2)-3 to get; [(x+1)/3(x^(2)-1)] - [1/(3x+1)] Using the fact that x^(2)-1 is the difference of two squares, we can simplify it to; [(x+1)/3(x+1)(x-1)] - [1/(3x+1)] which sim...
