How do you differentiate?

Say you have the term y=3X2 . You start by bringing the power down and placing it in front of the 3 so they multiply like so y=2x3X2 then next you take one away from the power like so y=2x3X1 . This can then be simplified by solving 2x3 and realising that X1 is the same as just X. This means it can be written as y=6X.

A curve has equation y=x^2 + (3k - 4)x + 13 and a line has equation y = 2x + k, where k is constant. Show that the x-coordinate of any point of intersection of the line and curve satisfies the equation: x^2 + 3(k - 2)x + 13 - k = 0


differentiate x^2 + y^3 + xy respect to x


Differentiate y= 8x^2 +4x +5


A curve has equation y = f(x) and passes through the point (4, 22). Given that f'(x) = 3x^2 - 3x^(1/2) - 7, use integration to find f(x), giving each term in its simplest form
