Integrate x*ln(x)

Let u = ln(x) and dv/dx = x

Thus du/dx = 1/x and v = x2/2

Using the formula:

Integral of udv/dx = uv - Integral of v*du/dx

This becomes: Integral of x*ln(x) = (x2ln(x))/2 - Integral of x/2

Completing the integral on the RHS gives the answer to the question: (x2ln(x))/2 - x2/4

Consider the closed curve between 0 <= theta < 2pi given by r(theta) = 6 + alpha sin theta, where alpha is some real constant strictly between 0 and 6. The area in this closed curve is 97pi/2. Calculate the value of alpha.


A curve has the equation y=x^3+2x+15. Find dy/dx.


Show that: [sin(2a)] / [1+cos(2a)] = tan(a)


The curve A (y = x3 – x2 + x -1) is perpendicular to the straight-line B at the point P (5, 2). If A and B intersect at P, what is the equation of B? Also, find any stationary points of the curve A.
