Consider the function y = x.sin(x); differentiate the function with respect to x

Using the product rule :u = x, so du/dx = 1
v = sin(x), so dv/dx = cos(x)
Therefore dy/dx = v(du/dx) + u(dv/dx) So dy/dx = sin(x) + x.cos(x)

The equation of a curve is y = ax^2 + 3x + c where a and b are integers. The curve has a minimum point at (1,1), find a and c

We start by trying to find out the values of a and c using the information about the minimum point. We know we can rearrange the right hand side by completing the square: y = a(x^2 + 3x)+cy = a(x+3/2a)^2+...

How can the y=sin(x) graph be manipulated?

First, lets sketch a simple y=sin(x) graph between 0 and 2Pi radians.There are 4 different places a number could be put into this equation to affect the y=sin(x) graph.y=2sin(x) will stretch the graph to ...
