Evaluate the following : ∫ln(x) dx

Integrate by parts:u = ln(x) u' = 1/x v' = 1 v = xBy parts formula: uv - ∫u'v dx Therefore we have: xln(x) - ∫x1/x dx = xln(x) - ∫1 dx = xln(x) - x (+c)

When using the trapezium rule to approximate area underneath a curve between 2 limits, what is the effect of increasing the number of strips used?


What is 'grouping' and how does it work?


The points A and B have coordinates (1, 6) and (7,− 2) respectively. (a) Find the length of AB.


Curves C1 and C2 have equations y= ln(4x-7)+18 and y= a(x^2 +b)^1/2 respectively, where a and b are positive constants. The point P lies on both curves and has x-coordinate 2. It is given that the gradient of C1 at P is equal to the gradient of C2 at P.
