What is the indefinite integral of (x^4)*(-sin(x)) dx

Use integration by parts. Let u = x^4 and let dv/dx = -sin(x). Find du/dx = 4x^3 and fin v = cos(x). Use the equation uv - int (v du/dx) = x^4 cos(x) - 4((x^4/4)*(sin(x)) = x^4 cos(x) - x^4 sin(x) = x^4 (...

Derive 2*x^(3/2)+x+4

Will differentiate to 3*x^(1/2)+1. As you bring down the power and mulitply it my the coefficients, and take one off of the power for terms with x. And any constant differentiates to 0.

How do i remember the difference between differentiation and integration?

The easiest thing to do is to look at what is in the name. For integration you have `in`, which corresponds to an `increase` in power. Whereas with differenentiation you have `d` for decrease in power. Th...

The curve C has parametric equations x=2cos(t) and y=3cos(2t). Find and expression for dy/dx in terms of t.

Differentiate both equations given with respect to t.
dx/dt = -2sin(t)
dy/dt = -6sin(2t)

dy/dx = (dy/dt) / (dx/dt)
Sub your values in to get

dy/dx = (3sin(2t))/sin(t)
