Integrate, by parts, y=xln(x),

First, we need to separate the RHS as components of U and V. Using the LATE (logarithms, algebra, trigonometry, exponentials) technique, we see that logarithms have priority to algebra hence U = lnx and d...

Suppose a population of size x experiences growth at a rate of dx/dt = kx where t is time measured in minutes and k is a constant. At t=0, x=xo. If the population doubles in 5 minutes, how much longer does it take for the population to reach triple of Xo.

2.925 minutes This question involves solving a first order differential equation via the separation of variables and then substituting in initial conditions in order to find a particular ...

Find the x coordinate of the minimum point of the curve y = e3x - 6e2x + 32.

To find the minimum point of this curve you need to differentiate y and set it equal to zero before solving for x. If the questions does not say otherwise give your answer to 3 s.f. dy/dx = 3e^3x -12e^2x ...

Differentiate the function f(x) = x^2 * e^2x with respect to x

let u = x^2              let v  = e^2x

du/dx = 2x             dv/dx = 2e^2x

d/dx = vdu/dx + udv/dx = 2x e^2x + 2x^2e^2x

Therefore

d/dx = ...

What is differentiation in mathematics and what does it represent?

Differentiation is the rate of change of one variable with respect to another at a point in time or space. In other words, this can be described as the slope of a curve, which is how much the curve goes u...
