Q: Strange olympiad question, real roots of a polynomial

Can anyone shed some light? Consider the equation: $$ (x+1)(x^2+1)(x^3+1) = 30x^3 $$ Find the sum of all re...

Q: Can any one prove this that (dy/dx)•(dx/dy)= 1 but for. Y=sinx

Sunil KumarIf $f(x) = \sin x$ then $dy/dx = \cos x$ and $dx/dy = d(\sin^{-1}y)/dy$. So, $dy/dx =\cos x$ where $dx/dy = 1/\sqrt{1-x²}$ not $1/\cos x$. Hence, $dy/dx\neq 1/(dx/dy)$. What has gone wrong here?
