If you are given the function f(x) = 10-3x and g(x) = (x-3)/2 , find the value of the composite function gf(4) ?

The composite function can be thought of as if the function f(x) is the variable for the function g(x) instead of x. So first you find the value of the function f(4),f(4) = 10 - (3x4) = 10 - 12 ...

How do you differentiate y=ln(x)

I would use the fact that ln is the inverse function of the exponential function e^x to re-write the equation as x=e^y. This can be directly seen by just putting e^y=e^(lnx). Since the definition of a ln(...

Find the area bounded by the curve y=(sin(x))^2 and the x-axis, between the points x=0 and x=pi/2

First, use the identity cos(2x)=(cos(x))^2-(sin(x))^2 along with the identity (sin(x))^2+(cos(x))^2=1 to obtain the integral of 1/2*(1-cos(2x)) as it is not possible to integrate (sin(x))^2 straight off w...
