Differentiate sin(x)cos(x) using the product rule.

The product rule states (assuming x' is the differential of x): (fg)​′​​=f​′​​g+fg​′​​ Substitute the values into the rule: (sin(x)cos(x))' = sin(x)'cos(x) + sin(x)cos(x)' (sin(x)cos(x))'...

i) Using implicit differentiation find dy/dx for x^2 + y^2 = 4 ii) At what points is the tangent to the curve parallel to the y axis iii) Given the line y=x+c only intersects the circle once find c given that c is positive.

I don't know how effectively I can communicate this answer via text without the whiteboard but I'll try.

i) First implicitly differentiate with respect to x: 2x + 2y * dy/dx = 0.

Rearranging...

Solve the simultaneous equations, 2x+y-5=0 and x^2-y^2=3

2x+y-5=0, y=5-2x (put into second equation)

x2-y2=3, substituting in we get, x2-(5-2x)2=3, expand, x2-(25+4x2-20x)=3, simplify, x

How do you differentiate 5x

y=5x

The change in Y over the change in X gives the differential of 5x

As the power of 'x' is 1, this is brought down and multiplied by 5 and the power of x is 1-1 = 0. Therefore, the power ...

Differentiate x^x

xx=ex*ln(x)

So  d/dx (xx) = d/dx (ex*ln(x))

By chain rule, we get     d/dx (xln(x))exln(x) 

Then by product rule we get...
