Given that d/dx(cosx)=-sinx show that d/dx(secx)=secx(tanx)

let y=sec(x) = 1/(cos(X)) = cos(x)-1

Thus dy/dx = -1(cos(x))-2(-sinx) = sin(x)/(cos(x))2

= 1/cos(x)  x  sin(x)/cos(x)

=sec(x)t...

How do I use the chain rule for differentiation?

The chain rule is used when we have a function in the form f(g(x)).

For example sin(x^3). [In this case, f(x) = sin(x) and g(x) = x^3]

The chain rule says that the derivativ...

Differentiate y^3 + 3y^2 + 5

When you differentiate, you multiply by the old power and decrease the power by 1. If the expression has a constant in it, this differentiates to 0. 

So the answer is 3y^(3-1) + ...

find the value of x for when f(x)=0. f(x)=9x^(2)-4

since f(x)=0 write

9x2-4=0

move the x's to one side and the numbers to the other.

so 9x2=4

then to get rid of the 9 divide ...
