Differentiate with respect to x and write in its simpliest form, Y=(2x-3)/x^2?

Y=(2x-3)/x2

Quotient Rule: dY/dx(u/v)=(u'v-v'u)/v2

dY/dx=(2x2-2x(2x-3))/x4

=(6x-2x2)/x4    (Collect numerator x terms.)

=(6-2x)/x3         (Cancel the fraction by a factor of x.)

dY/dx=(6-2x)/x3

A curve has parametric equations: x=(t-1)^3 and y= 3t - 8/(t^2). Find dy/dx in terms of t. Then find the equation of the normal at the point on the curve where t=2.


Integrating sin^5(x)cos(x) (in slow logical steps)


Differentiate y=(3x-1)/(2x-1)


For the function f(x) = 4x^3 -3x^2 - 6x, find a) All points where df/dx = 0 and b) State if these points are maximum or minimum points.
