Prove by induction that the sum of the first n integers can be written as (1/2)(n)(n+1).

For n = 1, the sum is given by (1/2)(1)(1+1), which gives 1, the expected result. We now assume that the statement is true for some k. If we look at k+1, the sum is given by 1 + 2 + ... + k + (k+1). Since...

Given the function f(x) = (x^2)sin(x), find f'(x).

The function f(x) is a product of 2 functions of x, so when we differentiate it, we need to use the product rule.

The product rule states that for a function f(x) = g(x)*h(x), f'(x) is given by g(x...

The gradient of a curve is defined as Dy/dx = 3x^2 + 3x and it passes through the point (0,0), what is the equation of the curve

Integrate this = (3x^3)/3 + (3x^2)/2 + c So y = x^3 + (3x^2)/2 + c Using point (0,0), 0 = 0 + 0 + c so c = 0. Full equation of the curve is therefore x^3 + (3x^2)/2
