    Trying to simplify this problem. Getting stuck, wondered if it's correct so far.

    Both look ok to me.
    (2nd one isn't finished, of course. But your du/dx is correct.)

    Thanks. I'll finish the second one. Can the first be simplified ?

    You can multiply the constants but that's about it.

    Another small thing, in the first one you have used implies symbols (the double arrow yokes!) where you should have = signs.

    I know that may sound like I'm busting your balls over nothing but it's important to learn how to write maths correctly.

    Keep up the good work!!

    Thanks for the feedback. The more i tidy things up the better for myself.

    Using John bird higher engineering mathematics. Trying to get my answers the same but some times I can't. Don't think I need to for exams, but no harm trying.
