Differentiate y = 2x^3 + 6x^2 + 4x + 3 with respect to x.

Each term is differentiated according to the formula:

y = axb --> dy/dx = b*ax(b-1)

Constants differentiate to zero.

Therefore in this example:

dy/dx = 6x2 + 12x + 4

How can I find all the solutions to cos(3x) = sqrt(2)/2 for 0<=x<=2pi ?


Determine the tangent to the curve y = sin^2(x)/x at the point, x = pi/2. Leave your answer in the form ax+by+c=0


y = 4sin(x)cos(3x) . Evaluate dy/dx at the point x = pi.


Sketch the line y=x^2-4x+3. Be sure to clearly show all the points where the line crosses the coordinate axis and the stationary points
