y is proportional to x^2. When y is 75, x is 5. Find a formula for y in terms of x

y is proportional to x 2 so this means y = A*x 2 for some constant A. When y = 75, x = 5. Put these values in the formula above to find A: 75 = A*25 75/25 = A A = 3 So y = 3x 2

Differentiate 4x^2 + 2ln3x + e^x

To differentiate x 2 you bring the power of x down, then reduce the power of x by 1, so d/dx(x 2 ) = 2x 1 ln3x differentiates to (d/dx(3x))/3x = 3/3x = 1/x e^x differentiates to (d/dx(x)) e^x = 1 e^x Therefo...
