f(x) = x^3 + 3x^2 + 5. Find f''(x)

f''(x) means that we need to differentiate the function f(x) twice (f'(x) would mean we need to do it once). Differentiation means we multiply the coefficient by the power, and subtract one from the power. So: f'(x) = 3x^2 + 6x f''(x) = 6x + 6

When trying to solve inequalities (e.g. 1/(x+2)>x/(x-3)) I keep getting the wrong solutions even though my algebra is correct.


How would you integrate ln x


What is the 'chain rule'?


What are radians, why can't we just use degrees?
