Differentiate x^2 + xy + y^2 =1 implicitly.

Each part can be done separately, so x^2 becomes 2x, xy becomes dy/dx + y by product rule, y^2 becomes 2y(dy/dx) by chain rule, and 1 becomes 0. Hence the answer is 2x + y + (2y+1)dy/dx = 0, but the answe...

Differentiate 3x^2+1/x and find the x coordinate of the stationary point of the curve of y=3x^2+1/x

To differentiate we multiply by the power and take one off the power. d/dx(3x^2+1/x)= 6x-1/x^2 At a stationary point the gradient equals zero 6x-1/x^2=0 which rearranges to x=(1/6)^(1/3)

Find the location of the turning point of the following curve, y = x^2 + 6x - 7

Turning point is when dy/dx = 0

if y= x2 + 6x - 7

dy/dx = 2x + 6

at turning point: 2x + 6 = 0

therefore: 2x = - 6

x coordinate: x = - 3

substitute into...

By using the substitution, x = 2sin(y) find the exact value of integral sqrt(1/3(4-x^2)) dx with limits 0 and 1.

In order to calculate this integral we must use the sustitution provided. x=2siny. Firtsly I will differentiate to find the dx component of the integral, so dx/dy=2cosy hence, dx=2cosydy. Now for the limi...

Show that the line y = x - 7 does not meet the circle (x + 2)^2 + y^2 = 33.

To find potential points of intersection between the line and the circle, we need to solve the equations simultaneously. So, we substitute y = x - 7 into the equation of the circle: (x + 2)2 + ...
