How to differentiate with respect to x, xsin2x.

There are to parts involving x in this expression, so we need to use the product rule. Let u=x and v=sin2x.So we find u'=1, and v'=2sin2x. Then the formula for the product rule gives us that d/dx(uv)= uv' + vu'. so substituting in our values gives us that d/dx(xsin2x) = x(2sin2x) + 1(x) = 2xsin2x + x.

Integrate y with respect to x, where y = cos(x)/[1+tan^2(x)]


Find the derivative of the following expression: y=x^3+2x^2+6x+5.


The function f (x) is defined by f (x) = (1-x)/(1+x), x not equal to -1. Show that f(f (x)) = x. Hence write down f ^-1 (x).


How can I remember the difference between differentiation and integration?
