(1) Rearrange the equation so that the left hand side is a function of x, and the right hand side is a function of t only.dx/dt = - (5/2) x(1/x)dx = -(5/2)dt(2) Integrate both sidesln(x/A) = -(5/2)t, wher...

Logarithms allow us to calculate and manipulate indices in relation to regular numbers. The key thing to remember is that "log_xy" begs the question "wh...

y = x*ln(x)Let u = x, v = ln(x) => du/dx = 1, dv/dx = 1/x=> y = uv=> dy/dx = (du/dx)v + u(dv/dx) USING PRODUCT RULETherefore y = ln(x) + 1

We can find dz/dy using chain rule dz/dy=dz/du x du/dy (1) by defining u=3y^2+5 (since the exponent of e is a function of y we call this function u) and rewrite z=e^u. Then, we find dz/du=e^u (2) and du/d...

This function is fraction so the easiest method is to use the quotient rule (though the product rule can be used). Recall the quotient rule dy/dx = [vu' - uv']/[v^2]Note, u and v refer to the numerator a...
