How do I prove (x-2) is a factor of the function f(x) = x^2-4x+4?

First equate the factor to equal 0 then solve:x -2= 0;x = 2;
now plug the number 2 into all the X values:
(2)^2-4(2) + 4 = 8-8 = 0

How do I integrate ln(x), using integration by parts?


Compute the integral of f(x)=x^3/x^4+1


A curve has equation y = e^(3x-x^3) . Find the exact values of the coordinates of the stationary points of the curve and determine the nature of these stationary points.


The points P (2,3.6) and Q(2.2,2.4) lie on the curve y=f(x) . Use P and Q to estimate the gradient of the curve at the point where x=2 .
