Differentiate y=x^2cos(x)
using the product rule
product rule is dy/dx=v.du/dx+u.dv/dx
let u = x^2 and v = cos(x)
du/dx=2x
dv/dx = -sin(x)
so dy/dx=2xcos(x)-x^2sin(x)

i) It is given that f(x)=(-5-33x)/((1+x)(1+5x)), express f(x) in the form A/(1+x) + B/(1+5x) where A,B are integers. ii) hence express the integral of f(x) between x=3 and x=0 in the form (p/q)ln4 where p,q are integers.
