Differentiate The Following function

Find dy/dx where y = (x²+7)^1/2
=> 1/2(x²+7)^-1/2 * d/dx(x²+7) By the chain rule
=> 1/2(x²+7)^-1/2 * 2x
=> x(x²+7)^-1/2
Remember that x^1/2 = sqrt(x) and x^-1 = 1/x
^=>x/sqrt(x²+7)

integrate 5x^2 + x + 2 and find the value of c if the curve lies on the coordinates (1,3)

Use integration by parts to find the integral of sin(x)*exp(x)

A curve has equation y = f(x) and passes through the point (4, 22). Given that f'(x) = 3x^2 - 3x^(1/2) - 7, use integration to find f(x), giving each term in its simplest form
