By consdering partial fractions find the integral of (1-x)/(5x-6-x^2) between x = 1 and x = 0, give your answer in an exact form.

The answer is Ln8/9, by first converting (1-x)/(5x-6-x^2) into partial fractions you get 1/(2-x) + 2/(x-3), the next step is a simple integration by inspection followed by log manipulations to get the final answer.

What is differentiation and integration?


Solve 5x/(2x+1) - 3/(x+1) = 1


I don't understand how to visualise differentiation, please could you show my an example to allow me to understand what it actually is better?


Sketch the curve with the equation y=x^2 +4x+4, labelling the points where it crosses or touches the axes.
