Use implicit differentiation to find dy/dx of: 2(x^2)y + 2x + 4y - cos((pi)y) = 17

Tackle this problem one part at a time: First differentiate 2x2y using the product rule, showing dy/dx(2x2y) = 4xy + 2x2(dy/dx). After this, the remainder of the question is easier, as there are no more mixes of x and y.  dy/dx(2x + 4y - cos((pi)y)) = 2 + 4(dy/dx) + (pi)(dy/dx)sin((pi)y)           Also, dy/dx(17) = 0 Hence the equation you get is: 4xy + 2x2(dy/dx) + 2 + 4(dy/dx) + (pi)(dy/dx)sin((pi)y) = 0 Rearranging, you can see: dy/dx = (-2 - 4xy)/(2x2 + 4 + (pi)sin((pi)y))

I did all the past papers but I still only achieved a C grade, what am I doing wrong?


Integrate 2x^3 -4x +5


A function is defined parametrically as x = 4 sin(3t), y = 2 cos(3t). Find and simplify d^2 y/dx^2 in terms of t and y.


Differentiate with respect to x. y(x) = e^(7x^2)
