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

On the same diagram, sketch the graphs of: y = |5x -2| and y = |2x| and hence solve the equation |5x - 2| = |2x|


differentiate the following equation: y = x^2 + 2x


A cup of coffee is cooling down in a room following the equation x = 15 + 70e^(-t/40). Find the rate at which the temperature is decreasing when the coffee cools to 60°C.


At t seconds, the temp. of the water is θ°C. The rate of increase of the temp. of the water at any time t is modelled by the D.E. dθ/dt=λ(120-θ), θ<=100 where λ is a pos. const. Given θ=20 at t=0, solve this D.E. to show that θ=120-100e^(-λt)
