If y = (1 - 2x)\(^3\), find the value of dy/dx at x = -1
57
27
-6
-54
Correct answer is D
y = (1 - 2x)\(^3\)
let u = 1-2x
du/dx = -2
∴y = u\(^3\)
dy/du = 3u\(^2\)
But dy/dx = du/dx * dy/du
= -2 * 3u\(^2\)
= -6u\(^2\)
= -6(1-2x)\(^2\)
At x = -1: dy/dx = -6(1 - 2(-1))\(^2\)
dy/dx = -6(1 + 2)\(^2\)
= -6 * 3\(^2\)
= -6 * 9
= -54
If sin θ = -1/2 for 0 < θ < 360o, the value of θ is
30o and 150o
150o and 210o
210o and 330o
150o and 330o
Correct answer is C
sin θ = -1/2
= -0.5
θ = sin-1 (0.5)
θ = 30o
Since θ is negative
θ = 180 + 30 = 210o
θ = 360 - 30 = 330o
∴θ = 210o and 330o

Find the equation of the perpendicular at the point (4,3) to the line y + 2x = 5
2y - x = 4
y + 2x = 3
y + 2x = 5
2y - x = 2
Correct answer is D
Gradient of the line y + 2x = 5 = -2
Gradient of the line perpendicular to
y + 2x + 5 = 1/2
equation of a line perpendicular to
y + 2x = 5 at the point (4, 3)
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 3 = 1/2(x - 4)
2y - 6 = x -4
2y - x = 2
