What is the chain rule?


How do I differentiate "messy" functions?


Curves C1 and C2 have equations y= ln(4x-7)+18 and y= a(x^2 +b)^1/2 respectively, where a and b are positive constants. The point P lies on both curves and has x-coordinate 2. It is given that the gradient of C1 at P is equal to the gradient of C2 at P.


Given the circumference x^2 - 2x + y^2 = 3, find the position of the center P and the value of the Radius. Then find the intercepts with the y axis and the tangent to the circumference at the positive y intercept.
