Calculus
thanks! that was really helpful ;)

Calculus
If 3x^2-2y^2=4xy + 20, find the point(s) at which the graph from Problem 28 has vertical tangents. I found that dy/dx= (3x-2y)/(2x+2y), but now I don't know what to do. Do I set dy/dx to 0?

Calculus
Thank you! Now I understand that I should've multiplied by y instead of moving the whole "2/y (dy/dx)" to the other side of the equation and then factor the dy/dx out. I can't believe how such a simple manuever can make the problem so much easier to solve. Th...

Calculus
I am having trouble differentiating x^2 + 2lny = y (solving for dy/dx). I know that I need to do implicit differentiation, but the answer I get is not correct. The answer I got was (2x-2xy)/2, but the answer is (2xy)/(y-2). How do I do this problem?

Calculus
How do I integrate (e^(3/x))/(x^2) from 1 to 3. I understand how and why I need to do u-substitution, with u=3/x and so dx=(-3 du)/x^2. After plugging (-3 du)/x^2 in for dx, I get a really messy problem that I don't know how to finish. Can you please explain the step? Than...

19. In Figure 10-1, if the force exerted on a 3.0-kg backpack that is initally at rest is 20.0 N and the distance it acts over is 0.25 m, what is the final speed of the backpack?

math
How do I find the length of curve f(x)=3x^2-2x+3 on the interval [1,4]? I have no idea on how to start this. Anyways, thanks in advance!

Calculus
How do I determine the area of a region bounded by a function and the x-axis if given y=cosx and interval is [0,ð/2]. This has to do with the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Thanks in advance!

Calculus
The point (1,-2) is on the graph of y^2-x^2+2x=5. Find the value of (dy/dx) and (d^2y/dx^2) at the point (1,-2). How do I find (d^2y/dx^2)? I found. I found (dy/dx) to be 2y(dy/dx)-2x+2=0, but I don't know how to take the derivative of that to get(d^2y/dx^2)? I'm not s...
