Differentiate f(x) = 2xlnx.

Use the chain rule: f'(x) = v(du/dx) +u(dv/dx).

Let u = 2x, du/dx = 2, v = lnx, dv/dx = 1/x

Using this information: f'(x) = 2lnx + 2x/x

This simplifies to f'(x) = 2lnx +2.

Find the centre coordinates, and radius of the circle with equation: x^2 + y^2 +6x -8y = 24


if f(x) = 4x^2 - 16ln(x-1) - 10, find f'(x) and hence solve the equation f'(x)=0.


(a) Express (1+4*sqrt(7))/(5+2*sqrt(7)) in the form a+b*sqrt(7), where a and b are integers. (b) Then solve the equation x*(9*sqrt(5)-2*sqrt(45))=sqrt(80).
