Find the gradient of the curve y = x^2(ln(x)) at x = e

We'll need to use the product rule.

Let's take u = x^2 -> du/dx = 2x, and v = ln(x) -> dv/dx = 1/x

Then dy/dx = x^2(1/x) + 2xln(x) = x + 2xln(x)

Substituting our x value gives (...

AQA PC4 2015 Q5 // A) Find the gradient at P. B) Find the equation of the normal to the curve at P C)The normal P intersects at the curve again at the point Q(cos2q, sin q) Hence find the x-coordinate of Q.

A) We need to find dy/dx. We know that dy/dx =(dy/dt)/(dx/dt). Differentiating each parametric equation we get: dx/dt= -2sin(2t) {using the chain rule and knowing that cos differentiates to -sin.} dy/dt= ...
