Here, f(x)=x³e^2x is a function consisting of two functions multiplied together, so we need to use the product rule. The product rule is as follows: where f(x)=u(x)v(x), f'(x)=u(x)v'(...

Factorise both parts of the question. Our left side would become x(2x+3)/(2x+3)(x-2) and our right side would become 6/(x+1)(x-2). On our LHS the (2x+3) would cancel leaving x/x-2. In order to merge the f...

Normally, this would be quite hard! We'd have to play around with the sequence and try different formulas until something worked. Luckily, this is what we call an "Arithmetic Series". That's bec...

This is a common question on A2 Maths papers as it tests both the ability to use the chain rule and the ability to differentiate natural logarithms. y = ln(6x) Alarm bells should start ri...

De Moivre's theorem states that (cosø + isinø)ⁿ = cos(nø) + isin(nø). Assuming n = 1 
    (cosø + isinø)¹ = cos(1ø) + isin(1ø)
which is true so ...
