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

Write down three linear factors of f(x) such that the curve of f(x) crosses the x axis at x=0.5,3,4. Hence find the equation of the curve in the form y = 2(x^3) + a(x^2) + bx + c.


Express 2x^2 +8x +7 in the form A(x+B)^2 + C, where A, B and C are constants


Show that the cubic function f(x) = x^3 - 7x - 6 has a root x = -1 and hence factorise it fully.


What method should I use to differentiate equations with an x as the power of a number. E.g. 2^x
