For this type of integral you would need to use integration by parts twice. Remember this is where the integral of u*(dv/dx)=uv-(integral with respect to x)(v*(du/dx)). For example let's say you need to i...

Take example (x+3)(x-4) We use FOIL - first, outer, inner, last  We multiply each part by the other part. First -> x times x = x² . Outer -> x times -4 = -4x (remember the minus infront o...

[Differentiate y = ln(x)] This is an example of many situations in maths where you need to solve something that is similar to what you can solve, but not in its current form. A good idea, then, i...

The question asks you to complete the square on the function f(x). First, we split the function:

f(x) = (x^2 + 5x) + 9

And recognise that we need the form (x^2 + 2k + k^2). Identifying 2k = ...
