Differentiate f(x)= x^3 + x^(1/3)-2

f'(x)= 3x^2+1/3x^(-2/3)

To differentiate you need to multiply the coefficant of the x dependent terms by the powers and then the power of x goes down by one. 

For example: differentiate f(x) = x^n.

f'(x) = nx^(n-1)

Similary when you differentiate a constant it becomes 0.

why is sin(x) squared plus cos(x) squared 1?


Differentiate f(x)=(x+sin(2x))^4


I don’t think I’m smart enough for this course, should I drop it?


dx/dt = -5x/2, t>=0. Given that x=60 when t=0, solve the differential equation, giving x in terms of t.
