Differentiate 3x^(3) + 7x^(2) -4x

Using the formula for differentiation: if y=axN then dy/dx= Na*xN-1 apply this to each term in the equation given; first term: dy/dx= 9x2second term: dy/dx= 14xthird term: dy/dx= - 4Combining all three this gives: dy/dx= 9x2 + 14x - 4

A man travels 360m along a straight road. He walks for the first 120m at 1.5ms-1, runs the next 180m at 4.5ms-1, and then walks the final 60m at 1.5ms-1. A women travels the same route, in the same time. At what time does the man overtake the women?


Differentiation: How to use the chain rule


f (x) = (x^2 + 4)(x^2 + 8x + 25). Find the roots of f (x) = 0


Using the Trapezium rule with four ordinates (three strips), estimate to 4 significant figures the integral from 1 to 4 of (x^3+12)/4sqrt(x). Calculate the exact value of this integral, comparing it with your estimate. How could the estimate be improved?
