2) y = x(x^2+2) [x^2 means xsquared)
4) y = (x+2)(x+4)
11) y = (x+3)^2
17) y= 2/3^3
18) y = 1/2x^3
show ur working out so that others and i can understand

I'd love to help but I haven't done differentiation yet :( (just started A level maths lol)

lol do u do ANY work yourself?
2) y = x(x^2+2)
y=x^3 + 2x
dy/dx = 3x^2 + 2
4) y = (x+2)(x+4)
y=x^2 + 6x + 8
dy/dx = 2x + 6
11) y = (x+3)^2
y=x^2 + 6x + 9
dy/dx = 2x + 6
17) y= 2/3^3
:S shoudlnt there b a x here. otherwise its 0
18) y = 1/2x^3
y= 2x^-3
dy/dx = -6x^-4 i think
no charge:D

np, btw this is IGCSE maths, yea its got some A'lvl topics init

Yes i do, but i forgot how to differentiate! this is weird!!
:jkk: :)
but u nvr completed the answers :(
ur ment so solve it, not leave it in the form of dy/dx!

what do you mean? i cant do any more unless i have specific values of x or y
2) y = x(x^2+2) [x^2 means xsquared)
4) y = (x+2)(x+4)
11) y = (x+3)^2
17) y= 2/3^3
18) y = 1/2x^3

2) y = 2 x (you multiply x by the number the power is, then take minus one from the power. the +2 becomes 0 coz there's no x there)
4) multiply out the brackets you get
x^2 + 6x + 8
then diff it. the +8 becomes 0, the 6x becomes 6, the x^2 becomes 2x
so
2x +6
Now read my poem The Opposite of Hope (http://www.ummah.com/forum/showthread.php?t=162208) :D and comment

u totally ignored my post about your poem:(
and 2) is wrong

doh:smack:
ok one question u got for number 2
2) y = x(x^2+2)
y=x^3 + 2x
dy/dx = 3x^2 + 2
why is it 3x^2 + 2
why not 3x^2 + 2x?

because remember u times by the power, then take away 1 from the power. so u times by 1 then make x to the power of 0 (anything to the power of 0 is 1). therefore its just 2x1=2
u totally ignored my post about your poem:(

ummmm....nope it's totally right. what do you think it is? coz you're wrong.
and :shock: how can you imply i've ignored your post about my poem (http://www.ummah.com/forum/showthread.php?t=162208)!!!! i would never do such a thing. my poem rocks :p
EDIT: aaahhhhh i see it's x(x+2). my bad, i couldn't see it. ok then, ana, multiply it out then diff. i'm here if you don't get it (as long as you comment on my poem)

for number 4 i got 8x+8

i c
my working out for number 4:
(x+2)(x+4)
x^2+4x+2x+8
2x^2-1 + 4x +2x+8
2x+4x+2x+8
therefore it equals = 8x+8
how did u come up with ur answer

for number 4 i got 8x+8
(working backwards-integration:D:D) that means u differentiated 4x^2 + 8x
let me explain:
4) y = (x+2)(x+4)
expand brackets: y = x^2 + 6x + 8
differentiate: x^2 [times by the power, then subtract 1 from the power] gives 2x
6x goes to 6
so dy/dx = 2x + 6 (the 8 is 8x^0 which is 8x0=0)

:smack:
so 8x is 8x^1?
aha, now i get it : :jkk: bro
if i need any help cuz i git 26questions do u mind if i pm u?
aint it like a quadratic equation?
