Find the gradient of the tangent to the curve with the equation y = (3x^4 - 18)/x at the point where x = 3

y = (3x- 18)/x

The gradient of a tangent to a curve is equal to dy/dx 

However, we must simplify this equation before we can differentiate it;

y = 3x3 - 18/x =...

Find the integral between 1 and -2 for (4-x^2-3x^3)

= [4x - 1/3x3 - 3/4x4]1-2 = (4(1) - 1/3(1)3 - 3/4(1)4) - (4(-2) - 1/3(-2)3 - 3/4(-2)4) =(2 11/12) - (-8 + 8/3 - 12) ...

Integrate xcos(x) with respect to x

In order to do this question one has to first recognise that this is a product and thus has to be solved using Integration by parts. Firstly write out the formula: ∫u.dv/dx dx = uv - ∫v. du/dx dx ...
