Differentiate y=x(e^x)

Write as y=uv u=x v=ex

du/dx=1 dv/dx=ex 

Using the product rule, dy/dx=vdu/dx + udv/dx

So dy/dx=ex(1)+x(ex)=ex(1+x)

Differentiate f(x) = x sin(x)


A circle, C, has an equation: x^2 + y^2 - 4x + 10y = 7 . Find the centre of the circle and its radius?


Differentiate: tan(2x) cos(x)


Solve the simultaneous equations: y + 4x + 1 = 0, and y^2 + 5x^2 + 2x = 0.
