y = 3x^2 + 2x^(1/2) - 12 Find dy/dx


Show that the volume of the solid formed by the curve y=cos(x/2), as it is rotated 360° around the x-axis between x= π/4 and x=3π/4, is of the form π^2/a. Find the constant a.


if f(x) = 4x^2 - 16ln(x-1) - 10, find f'(x) and hence solve the equation f'(x)=0.


A curve has equation y = (12x^1/2)-x^3/2
