If y=(a^(Sinx)) where a and k are given constants, find dy/dx in terms of a and x

Here we have to differentiate a constant raised to the power of a variable. To make it easier, let u=sinx and so our function can now be treated as y=a^u. Remembering that A = e^(LnA), a^u = e^(Ln(a^u)). ...

Curve C has equation y=(9+11x)/(3-x-2x^2). Find the area of the curve between the interval (0, 1/2). State your answer in exact terms.

The word "area" should highlight that it is an integration question to the student. The interval asked for is (0,1/2) and so the curve should be integrated between that interval.The first task i...

Find the an expression for dy/dx of the function y=(4x+1)ln(3x+1) and the gradient at the point x=1.

This question is example of product rule. To simplify need to define two terms u=4x+1 and v=ln(3x+1). Each term is then differentiated. du/dx=4. To differentiate v, need to define another term a=3x+1, the...
