y = 1/x^2, differentiate y (taken from AQA 2018 past paper)

y = 1/x^2 is the same asy = x^-2 , now we can use the standard differentiation formula nx^n-1 to gety = -2x^-3y = -2/x^3

How do I get the eigenvalues, x, of a matrix, M, with eigenvectors, v?


Differentiate y=(sin(x))^(2)


Consider the function y = x.sin(x); differentiate the function with respect to x


Use integration by parts to find ∫ (x^2)sin(x) dx. (A good example of having to use the by parts formula twice.)
