Find the derivative of f(x)=x^2log(2x)

Use the product rule (f'(x)=u'v+uv')

Let u=x2    =>    u'=2x

Let v=log(2x)  =>   v'=2/(2x)  =>    v'=1/x

Therefore f'(x)=2xlog(2x)+x2<...

The quadratic equation 2x^2 + 8x + 1 = 0 has roots x1 and x2. Write down the value of x1+x2 and x1*x2 and find the value of x1^2 + x2^2

If a quadratic equation is of the form : ax^2 +bx +c =0and has roots x1 and x2, then the following statements are true:x1+x2 = - b/ax1x2 = c/aIn our case: x1+x2 = - 8/2 = -4and x1x2 = 1/2Now, x1^...

If y = 1/(x^2) + 4x, find dy/dx

First, notice that 1/(x^2) = x^(-2)dy/dx = d/dx (x^(-2) + 4x)The derivative of the sum is the sum of the derivatives= d/dx (x^(-2)) + d/dx (4x)The derivative of x^n is nx^(n-1), for every real number n, a...
