Calculate the indefinite integral of xsinx

They key is to integrate by parts, set u = x, u' = 1, v' = sinx, v = -cosx
So, integral(xsinx) =uv - integral(u'v)+c = -xcosx - integral(-cosx) +c = -xcosx +sinx + c
which is the answer

Find the equation of the tangent to the curve y = (2x -3)^3 at the point (1, - 1), giving your answer in the form y = mx + c.


The curve C has the equation (x^2)+4xy-8(y^2)+27=0. Find dy/dx in terms of x and y.


Let w, z be complex numbers. Show that |wz|=|w||z|, and using the fact that x=|x|e^{arg(x)i}, show further that arg(wz)=arg(w)+arg(z) where |.| is the absolute value and arg(.) is the angle (in polar coordinates). Hence, find all solutions to x^n=1 .
