y = (x^2)sin(3x). Find dy/dx
We need to differentiate x2sin(3x). We know how to differentiate (x2) on its own, and how to differentiate sin(3x) on its own. So we can use the Product rule:
dy/dx = (d/dx(x2))sin(3x) + x2(d/dx(sin(3x))
= (2x)sin(3x) + x2(3cos(3x))
= 2xsin(3x) + 3x2cos(3x)

A sweet is modelled as a sphere of radius 10mm and is sucked. After five minutes, the radius has decreased to 7mm. The rate of decrease of the radius is inversely proportional to the square of the radius. How long does it take for the sweet to dissolve?
