We know that for equation ax^2+bx+c=0
a = 2,b = 3,c = -5
If the roots x1 and x2 are real numbers:
x1 + x2 = -b/a = -3/2
x1*x2 = c/a = -5/2

There are several methods of finding the extrema(plural of extremums or in other words minimum or maximum values) of a function.

For now we will analyse the function using the dy/dx of f(x)=y...

We have two functions multiplied together: x and cos(x).

Therefore we have to use the product rule.

First differentiate x and leave cos(x) untouched, so we get 1(cos(x))=cos...

Find the following integral: ∫ x sin(x) dx

This question is a good candidate for the integration by parts method, as it is the product of two different 'parts...

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)+x^2<...
