A curve has equation y = e^x + 10sin(4x), find the value of the second derivative of this equation at the point x = pi/4.

Firstly, differentiate y with respect to x once to obtain the equation dy/dx = e^x + 40cos(4x). Then differentiate this resultant expression, with respect to x, to acquire a solution for (d^2)y/d(x^2) = e...

A function is defined parametrically as x = 4 sin(3t), y = 2 cos(3t). Find and simplify d^2 y/dx^2 in terms of t and y.

We first need to find dy/dx and we use the fact that dy/dx = dy/dt * dt/dx. So we have dy/dt = -6sin(3t) and dx/dt = 12cos(3t). Substituing these in we have dy/dx = -6*sin(3t)1/(12cos(3t...

The equation: x^3 - 12x + 6 has two turning points. Use calculus to find the positions and natures of these turning points.

To find the turning points we need to find when the differential of the equations with respect to x is equal to 0. (dy/dx = 3x2 - 12 = 0) From this we find that the turning points happ...

Differentiating equations of the type ln[f(x)]

To solve such equations we take advantage of log lawes to simplify the problem .

E.g

ln[sqrt(1-x2)] = ln[(1-x2)1/2] = 1/2ln[1-x2]

After sim...

How do I integrate x/(x^2 + 3) ?

To solve this you need to integrate by substitution. You can spot this because the differential of the bottom of the fraction is a multiple of the top part, showing this quickly; if u = x + 3...
