Given that f(x)= (4/x) - 3x + 2 find i) f'(x) and ii) f''(1/2)

a) Point A(6,7,2) lies on l1. Point B(9,16,5) also lies on l1. Find the distance between these two points. b) l2 lies in the same z plane as l1 and crosses l1 at A and is perpendicular to l1. Express l2 in vector form.

Using the substitution u = 2 + √(2x + 1), or other suitable substitutions, find the exact value of 4 0 1 ∫ 2 (2 1) +√ +x dx giving your answer in the form A + 2ln B, where A is an integer and B is a positive constant
