Can you give an example of using the chain rule for differentiation? Example: Let y=(6 + 2x + 2x^2)^3, find dy/dx.

The chain rule is given by dy/dx= (dy/du)(du/dx). If we set u=6+2x+2x2then, y=u3 thus, dy/dx=(3u2)(2+4x) = (3(6+2x+2x2)2)(2+4x). Example does not ask...

Solve algebraically: 1) 6a + b = 16, 2) 5a - 2b = 19

Firstly multiply the first equation by 2 resulting in the equation 12a + 2b = 32. Following this, add the first equation to the second equation, this will result in the 2b cancelling out with just 17a = 5...

Find the equation of the normal to the curve at the point (1, -1 ): 10yx^2 + 6x - 2y + 3 = x^3

Firstly, an expression for dy/dx needs to be found to allow us to find the gradient of the normal. As a normal is a straight line, the equation y-y1=m(x-x1) can be used to find its e...
