How do you differentiate (3x+cos(x))(2+4sin(3x))?

Here we have a product of two things, so we will be using the product rule of differentiation. This is: for y=u(x)v(x), where u(x) and v(x) are funtions of x, dy/dx = u'(x)v(x) + u(x)v'(x). So in this case l...

How to integrate cos^2(x) ? ("cos squared x")

We can't integrate cos^2(x) as it is, so we want to change it into another form. We can easily do this using trig identities . 1) Recall the double angle formula: cos(2x) = cos^2(x) - sin^2(x). 2) We also kn...

How do you intergrate ln(x)?

There's a nice trick here you can do, treat the equation as 1*ln(x) then intergrate by parts. Differentiating ln(x) gives 1/x, while intergrating 1 gives x So your left with a much easier intergration x ln(x...

what is implicit differentiation and how is it achieved?

First off, an explicit definition needs to be understood. An explicit definition is the standard form in which many equations are found: y = f(x) (1) for example: y=x 2 +2 Here, all values of y can be explic...
