Find the derivative of f(x)=x^2*e^x+x

You can split the derivative into 2 parts: dx/dy (x^2*e^x) + dx/dy (x)

For the first part you have to use the product rule, so let U=x^2 V=e^x U'=2x V'=Chain rule

V'=dx/dy(e^x)dx/dy(x)...

We have the curve f(x) = (x^2-5x)(x-1)+ 3x. Sketch the graph y=f(x), making sure to plot the co-ordinates where the curve meets the axes.

The first thing we want to do is re-write the curve f(x) in a format in which we can read and easily plot a graph. If we can include the '3x' in the factorised part of the equation, it will be neater and ...

Find the gradient of y=6x^3+2x^2 at (1,1)

In order to find the gradient of the curve at (1,1), we must first differentiate the equation of the curve. To do this, multiply the coefficient of x by the power of that same x. Then subtract one from th...

Find the equation of the tangent at x=1 for the curve y=(4x^2+1)^3

The tangent is the straight line passing through x=1, touching the curve only at that point. For x=1, y=(4+1)^3=125 Using the chain rule we obtain dy/dx = 38x(4x^2+1)^2. To then get the gradient ...
