Differentiate y=x^4sinx


A curve is defined by the parametric equations x=t^2/2 +1 and y=4/t -1. Find the gradient of the curve at t=2 and an equation for the curve in terms of just x and y.


2x + y = 12. P = xy^2. Show that P = 4x^3 - 48x^2 + 144x


Sketch y = 9x – 4x^3, showing where the curve crosses the x axis.
