When I try to integrate by parts, I end up in an infinite loop. Why is this, and how do you stop?

This could be happening for two reasons.  

Firstly, the negative form of the expression that you are being asked to integrate could be appearing in your answer, after you've used the 'integrating b...

How do you differentiate?

for example 3x2+2x+1 differentiated? axdifferentiates to (an)xn-1 therefore 3x2 goes to 6x  2x goes to 2 and 1 goes to 0 so the fina...

Integrate ((5x^3) + ((2x)^-1) + (e^2x))dx.

int(5x3 + (2x)-1 + e2x )dx

=int(5x3)dx + int((2x)-1)dx + int(e2x )dx

int(5x3)dx = (5/4)x4+ c          ...

How would you derive y = function of x; for example: y = 3x^3 + x^2 + x

The best way to remember derivatives is to use algebra, and the general function is y = axn -> dy/dx = anxn-1

So for this equation dy/dx = (3x3)x3-1 + (2x1)x

Find the gradient of the curve y = x^2(ln(x)) at x = e

We'll need to use the product rule.

Let's take u = x^2 -> du/dx = 2x, and v = ln(x) -> dv/dx = 1/x

Then dy/dx = x^2(1/x) + 2xln(x) = x + 2xln(x)

Substituting our x value gives (...
