Via the product rule, or otherwise, differentiate 'y = xsin(x)'.

SInce, for y = uv, dy/dx = uv' + vu', where u' = du/dx, therefore:dy/dx = (1sin(x)) + (xcos(x)) = sin(x) + xcos(x)

How to differentiate y = xcos(x)


Using the result: ∫(2xsin(x)cos(x))dx = -1⁄2[xcos(2x)-1⁄2sin(2x)] calculate ∫sin²(x) dx using integration by parts


If y = 5x^3 - 2x^2 + 2, what is dy/dx?


Solve the equation 3^(5x-2)=4^(6-x), and show that the solution can be written in the form log10(a)/log10(b).
