Use integration to find I = ∫ xsin3x dx

Use integration by parts, let U = x, the derivative of U = 1, let the derivative of V = sin3x and intergrate the derivative of V to arrive at V = (-1/3)(cos3x). Substitute the value into the formula uv − ∫ vdu dx dx, arrive at I = (x)(-1/3)(cos3x) - ∫(1)(-1/3)(cos3x)dx which can be written us I = (-x/3)(cos3x) +∫(1/3)(cos3x)dx. ∫(1)(1/3)(cos3x)dx = (1/9)(sin3x). Now put that into the original equation giving the final answer I = (-x/3)(cos3x)+ (1/9)(sin3x) + c,

Find the first derivative of y=2^x


How and when should I integrate by parts?


Show that the curve y =f(x) has exactly two turning points, where f(x)= x^3 - 3x^2 - 24x - 28


Solve the simultaneous equations: y + 4x + 1 = 0, and y^2 + 5x^2 + 2x = 0.
