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

Consider the function f (x) = (2/3) x^3 + bx^2 + 2x + 3, where b is some undetermined coefficient: (a) find f'(x) and f''(x) and (b) if you know that f(x) has a stationary point at x = 2, use this information to find b.


Find the values of x such that: (log3(81)+log2(32))/(log2(x)) = log2(x) (5 marks)


For the curve f(x) = 2x^3 - 54x, find the stationary points and state the nature of these points
