find dy/dx of x^1/2 + 4/(x^1/2) + 4

This can be rewritten as x1/2 + 4x-1/2+ 4, hence dy/dx = (1/2)x-1/2 - 2x-3/2

Find the co ordinates and nature of the turning points of the curve C withe equation, y=2x^3-5x^2-4x+2


Differentiate: y = 2 ^ x


(i) Prove sin(θ)/cos(θ) + cos(θ)/sin(θ) = 2cosec(2θ) , (ii) draw draph of y = 2cosec(2θ) for 0<θ< 360°, (iii) solve to 1 d.p. : sin(θ)/cos(θ) + cos(θ)/sin(θ) = 3.


Let y=arcsin(x-1), 0<=x<=2 (where <= means less than or equal to). Find x in terms of y, and show that dx/dy=cos(y).
