Integrate ln(x) by parts then differentiate to prove the result is correct

Integrating by parts requirez recognition that ln(x) is equal to ln(x) multiplied by 1. Making u equal to ln(x) should make the integration trivial. Differentiation is a simple use of the product rule and chain rule for ln(x) itself.

y = 1/x^2, differentiate y (taken from AQA 2018 past paper)


A fair die has six faces numbered 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, and 3. The die is rolled twice and the number showing on the uppermost face is recorded. Find the probability that the sum of the two numbers is at least three.


Let y=arcsin(x-1), 0<=x<=2 (where <= means less than or equal to). Find x in terms of y, and show that dx/dy=cos(y).


Two numbers add to make 1000. What would they have to be to maximise their product?
