To differentiate this expression with respect to "x", any terms comprising of an "x" must multiply their powers with their numerical values and subtract 1 from the power. However to di...

Example curve: y = x² + 4x + 5The first step is to differentiate the equation to give us the gradient at a general point. As a quadratic equation is an example of a polynomial, the solution is ...

Magnitude:
Find the square root of 3^2+5^2=root of 34=5.83N (3sf)
Direction:
Draw a triangle with 3N at the bottom, 5N going up and the hypotenuse then represents the resultant force.The di...

First let's consider the case of even numbers. Suppose n is even, then it must be double some other number, so we have:
n = 2k
Where k is another natural number. We want to find out what:
1...

The first step is to recognise that, by the chain rule, dy/dx = dy/dt * dt/dx.
dy/dt and dt/dx can both be found by differentiating the functions given in the question, to give dy/dt and dx/dt. dt/d...
