What is the equation of the tangent at the point (2,1) of the curve with equation x^2 + 3x + 4.

dy/dx = 2x + 3, m = dy/dx = 7 Equation of tangent is a straight line hence we use y-y1 = m(x-x1), y-1 = 7(x - 2), y = 7x - 13

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


4^x - 2^x+1 - 15 = 0


How do we integrate x^2?


A curve is defined by the parametric equations x=(t-1)^3, y=3t-8/(t^2), t is not equal to zero. Find dy/dx in terms of t.
