Solve the simultaneous equation: y+4x+1=0 y^2+5x^2+2x=0

Rearrange the first equation to get y on its own:   y=-(1+4x) Substitute into the second equation:        (1+4x)(1+4x)+5x^2+2x=0     21x^2+10x+1=0 Substite into the quadratic formula to solve    (-b+/-(b^2-4ac)^0.5)/2a

A curve has the equation x^2 +2x(y)^2 + y =4 . Find the expression dy/dx in terms of x and y [6]


Given that y = 3x(^2) + 6x(^1/3) + (2x(^3) - 7)/(3(sqrt(x))) when x > 0 find dy/dx


Differentiate 2cos(x)sin(x) with respect to x


The curve y = 2x^3 - ax^2 + 8x + 2 passes through the point B where x=4. Given that B is a stationary point of the curve, find the value of the constant a.
