Find the derivative of the equation y = x*ln(x)

y = x*ln(x)Let u = x, v = ln(x) => du/dx = 1, dv/dx = 1/x=> y = uv=> dy/dx = (du/dx)v + u(dv/dx) USING PRODUCT RULETherefore y = ln(x) + 1

Given the circumference x^2 - 2x + y^2 = 3, find the position of the center P and the value of the Radius. Then find the intercepts with the y axis and the tangent to the circumference at the positive y intercept.


Suppose a population of size x experiences growth at a rate of dx/dt = kx where t is time measured in minutes and k is a constant. At t=0, x=xo. If the population doubles in 5 minutes, how much longer does it take for the population to reach triple of Xo.
