Integrate natural Log x

Take the integral as 1 x ln(x) instead of just ln(x). Use integration by parts giving two terms, the first is now just xln(x) and the second is the integral of 1 dx. This is easy to integrate giving the final answer as xln(x) -x + c.

A is a function of P . It is known that A is the sum of two parts, one part varies as P and the other part varies as the square of P . When P = 24 , A = 36 and when P = 18 , A = 9. Express A in terms of P .


How do I differentiate something of the form a^x?


Two masses A and B, 2kg and 4kg respectively, are connected by a light inextensible string and passed over a smooth pulley. The system is held at rest, then released. Find the acceleration of the system and hence, find the tension in the string.


Using the substitution x = 2cosu, find the integral of dx/((x^2)(4-x^2)^1/2), evaluated between x=1 and x=sqrt(2).
