Differentiate y=(x^2+1)(e^-x)

Here, we're using the product rule (and the chain rule for the e-x): y=(x2+1)(e-x) dy/dx=(2x)(e-x)+(x2+1)(-1)(e-x) Then we simplify to get: dy/dx=(e-x)(2x-x2-1)

Find the gradient at the point (0, ln 2) on the curve with equation e^2y = 5 − e^−x . [4]


By integrating, find the area between the curve and x axis of y = x*exp(x) between x = 0 and x = 1


A curve has equation y = f(x) and passes through the point (4,22). Given that f'(x) = 3x^2 - 3x^(1/2) - 7 use intergration to find f(x).


Solve the simultaneous equations: y - 3x + 2 = 0 y^2 - x - 6x^2 = 0
