How do you find the integral of (2+5x)e^3x ?

If we were to expand the brackets for this question we might be able to get to an answer however there is a much simpler way of solving the problem. As this question is made up of two expressions of x multiplied together we can use integration by parts and say that u = 2+5x and v' = e^3x. By following the formula for integration by parts we get that u' = 5 and v = 1/3e^3x. Now that we have all this information we can substitute it into the formula, which leaves us with a much simpler integral to find for 5/3e^3x. And so by integrating this following the usual method, we get the answer which is 1/3(2+5x)e^3x - 5/9e^3x + c where c is a constant.

A curve is defined by the parametric equations: X = 3 – 4t , y = 1 + (2/t) Find (dy/dx) in terms of t.


Solve the pair of simultaneous equations; (1) y + 4x + 1 = 0, (2) y^2 + 5x^2 + 2x = 0 .


Consider the curve y=x/(x+4)^0.5. (i) Show that the derivative of the curve is given by dy/dx= (x+8)/2(x+4)^3/2 and (ii) hence find the coordinates of the intersection between the left vertical asymptote and the line tangent to the curve at the origin.
