Integrate ln(x) wrt dx

Integrate by parts. First rewrite the integral in the form u dv/dx, which is (1)ln(x). Then integrate (1)ln(x) wrt dx by assigning u=ln(x) du/dx=1/x and dv/dx=1 v=x. We can determine the integral of ln(x), u...

Express x^2 - 7x + 2 in the form (x - p)^2 + q , where p and q are rational numbers.

This is an example of completing the square.If we expand (x - p)^2 + q, we will have x^2 -2px + p + q.Now we can use algebra to work out what p and q are from the following equation. x^2 - 7x + 2 = x^2 -2px ...

Given a fixed parabola and a family of parallel lines with given fixed gradient, find the one line that intersects the parabola in one single point

Let the parabola be y=x 2 and let the family of lines be y=2x+c, in order to study the intersection points we need to consider the second order linear system given by having the two equations above. Hence, w...

Find all solution to the equation 3tan(x)=8/sin(x) for 0<=x<=360 degrees

By multipying across and using some trigonometric identities we can turn this in to a much simpler quatratic which can be solved using the quadratic formula. This step can be simplified by using the substitu...

Differentiate with respect to x: F(x)=(x^2+1)^2

To differentiate composite functions, (a function within a function) like in this case we need to use the chain rule. We can see that F(x)=f(g(x)) where we let f(x)= (x^2+1)^2 and g(x)= x^2+1. To use the cha...
