Integrate 2x/(x^2+3) using the substitution u=x^2+3

u=x2 + 3

du/dx=2x

dx=du/2x

2x/(x2+3) dx becomes (2x/u) * (du/2x)

the 2x terms cancel out giving 1/u du

this integrates to ln(u)+c becoming ln(x2+3)+c

Edexcel C1 2015 Q10. A curve with equation y = f (x) passes through the point (4, 9). Given that f′(x)=3x^(1/2)-9/(4x^(1/2))+2. Find f(x), giving each term in its simplest form.


Example of product rule - if y=e^(3x-x^3), what are the coordinates of stationary points and what are their nature?


A curve is described by the equation x^3 - 4y^2 = 12xy. a) Find the points on the curve where x = -8. b) Find the gradient at these points.
