A curve has the equation y=7-2x^5, find dy/dx of this curve

When you differentiate with respect to x, dy/dx, you multiply the number in front of the x by the power of the x then you take one away from the power.So for this example, the 2x⁵ differentiate...

Write cosx - 3sinx in the form Rcos(x + a)

Rcos(x + a) = Rcosxcosa - Rsinxsina
By comparing cosx - 3sinx to the new expression, we can see that:
Rsina = 3 and Rcosa = 1
If we square both and add them, we can see R = √(1²
