Use integration by parts to integrate ∫ xlnx dx

∫ u(dv/dx) dx = uv − ∫ v(du /dx)dx is the Integration by Parts formula. 

If you set u=lnx, differentiation (rememeber from tables) leads to du/dx= 1/x, and dv/dx=x and so v=x^2/2 (raise power by on...

Differentiate x^3 − 3x^2 − 9x. Hence find the x-coordinates of the stationary points on the curve y = x^3 − 3x^2 − 9x

To differentiate, we bring the power down and decrease the power by 1. So x3 becomes 3x2, -3x2 becomes -6x, and -9x (which can be written as -9x1 ) becomes -9. ...

Evaluate the following integral: (x^4 - x^2 +2)/(x^2(x-1)) dx

This type of question appears over-complicated with limited options, but one must not fear! At first, the numerator seems to be of a higher degree than the denominator (x^4 compared to x^2), but from the ...

Differentiate the function f(x) = 3x^2/sin(2x)

Using the product rule, f=uv, df = (vu'-uv')/v^2. we first set u = 3x^2 and v = sin(2x). u' = 6x, v'=2cos(2x) Therefore, vu' = 6xsin(2x). uv' = 6x^2cos(2x), v^2 = 4cos^2(2x) Therefore the differe...
