Differentiate and factorise y = x^2(3x + 1)

Product rule:      dy/dx = uv' + u'v dy/dx = 2x(3x + 1) + x^2(3) dy/dx = 2x(3x + 1) +3x^2 dy/dx = 6x^2 + 2x + 3x^2 dy/dx = 9x^2 + 2x dy/dx = x(9x + 2)

The cubic polynomial f(x) is defined by f(x) = 2x^3 -7x^2 + 2x + 3. Given that (x-3) is a factor of f(x), express f(x) in factorised form.


Integrate ((5x^3) + ((2x)^-1) + (e^2x))dx.


Find the x co-ordinates of the stationary points of the graph with equation y = cos(x)7e^(x). Give your answer in the form x = a +/- bn where a/b are numbers to be found, and n is the set of integers.
