Integrate (2x)(e^x)dx

Solve via Integration by parts:

let u=2x and dv/dx=ex

the function that is u and the one that is dv/dx is given by LATHE (easier to explain on whiteboard)

make the table: u=2x    =>    du/dx=2; dv/dx = ex   =>   v=ex

then use the formula integral of u(dv/dx)dx = uv - integral of v(du/dx)dx  =  (2x)(ex) - (integral sign)(2ex)dx  =  (2x)(ex) - 2ex + C [Dont Forget C]

How would you integrate ln(x) with respect to x?


The equation 2x^2 + 2kx + (k + 2) = 0, where k is a constant, has two distinct real roots. Show that k satisfies k^2 – 2k – 4 > 0


Express cos2x in the form a*cos^2(x) + b and hence show that the integral of cos^2(x) between 0 and pi/2 is equal to pi/a.
