differentiate the following to find the equation for the gradient of the curve in terms of x and y: 3x^3 + 4x^2 + 5xy + 7y = 0

9x^2 + 8x + 5y +5xdy/dx + 7dy/dx = 0

9x^2 + 8x + 5y = dy/dx(-5x - 7)

dy/dx = - (9x^2 + 8x +5y)/(5x + 7)

Find the exact solutions for 4 − x^2 = |2x − 1|


How do I draw and sketch an equation?


Find the derivative and following function and hence find the value of coordinates for when the function is at a stationary point:


y = 4x/(x^2+5). a) Find dy/dx, writing your answer as a single fraction in its simplest form. b) Hence find the set of values of x for which dy/dx < 0
