Given that y = 5x^4 + 3x^3 + 2x + 5, find dy/dx

We’re being asked to differentiate the function with respect to x. To do so, we use the general formula for differentiation, which is:‘If y = kxn, dy/dx = nkx(n-1)We must also note that, ...

Differentiate sin(2x)/x^2 w.r.t. x

Quotient Rule:d(u/v)/dx = (vu' - uv')/(v2)u = sin(2x) => u' = 2cos(2x)v = x2 => v' = 2x=> (2x2cos(2x) - 2xsin(2x))/(x4)Product Rule:d(uv)/dx = vu' + uv...

Find the first and second derivative of f(x) = 6/x^2 + 2x

We can rewrite the function to eliminate the annoying 1/x^2 expression by knowing this can also be expressed by x^-2.f(x) = 6x^-2 + 2xNow we can differentiate this function term by term, first 6x^-2. We k...

A function is defined by f(x)=x/(2x-2)^(1/2): (a)Determine the maximum domain of f. (b)Differentiate f. (c)Find the inflection points of the function's graph.

This is a common A-level question tackling functions and differentiation. (a) First, it should be noted that the function f is defined within the field of real numbers and thus the value of 2x-2 in the sq...
