How does the product rule for differentiation work

The chain rule works so that if you have y=f(x)g(x), where f(x) and g(x) are functions of x, dy/dx = f'(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x)

Solve x^2 > |5x - 6|


(5 + 2(2^0.5))(7 - 3(2^0.5))


A curve has equation y = f(x) and passes through the point (4, 22). Given that f'(x) = 3x^2 - 3x^(1/2) - 7, use integration to find f(x), giving each term in its simplest form
