Solve, giving your answer to 3 s.f. : 2^(2x) - 6(2^(x) ) + 5 = 0

22x - 6(2x ) + 5 = 0let y = 2xy2 - 6y + 5 = 0(y-5)(y-1) = 0 y=5, y=12x = 5, therefore, x = log25 = 2.32 (3 s.f.)2x = 1, therefore, x = log21 = 0

How do you solve the integral of ln(x)


Using Integration by Parts, find the indefinite integral of ln(x), and hence show that the integral of ln(x) between 2 and 4 is ln(a) - b where a and b are to be found


The height (h) of water flowing out of a tank decreases at a rate proportional to the square root of the height of water still in the tank. If h=9 at t=0 and h=4 at t=5, what is the water’s height at t=15? What is the physical interpretation of this?


Differentiate: f(x)=2(sin(2x))^2 with respect to x, and evaluate as a single trigonometric function.
