Answering this question requires knowledge of e and ln. If we look at the question we can see 2 is being multiplied by the ln, so we might want to use the product rule. Also, we can see that the ln has a big...

first we find the first derivative of the function. Here dy/dx = x^2-8x+12. We set this to zero and factorise to obtain the roots of the function. Such that dy/dx = (x-6)(x-2)= 0. This gives the stationary p...

Looking at this question the first thing we should notice is that there is a an x squared inside a bracket which is also squared. As there is function inside a function we must use the chain rule. The simple...

Notice that integration is simply the opposite of differentiation. So, if we just integrate this term-by-term then we can find an expression of y in terms of x. So, when we integrate dy/dx becomes y. Integra...

Remember that the equation of a straight line (when given two points OR a point and a gradient) is y-y_1 = m(x-x_1) where m is the gradient and (x_1,y_1) is a point on the line. Since we have two points, we ...
