Integrate x/((1-x^2)^0.5) with respect to x

x = sin(u), dx/du = cos(u), dx = cos(u) * du,[x/(1-x^2)^0.5)] * dx = [sin(u)/((1-(sin(u)^2))^0.5] * cos(u) * du = [sin(u)/(cos(u)^2)^0.5] * cos(u) * du = sin(u) * duIntegral of sin(u) * du = -cos(u) = -(...

Express 5/[(x-1)(3x+2)] as partial fractions.

5 = a(3x+2) + b(x-1), x = 1, 5 = a(3+2) +b (1-1), 5 = a(5) + b(0), 5 = 5a, a = 1, x = -2/3, 5 = a(-2+2) + b(-(2/3)-1), 5 = a(0) + b(-5/3), 5 = -5b/3, b = -3, Therefore: 5/[(x-1)(3x+2)] = 1/(x-1) -3/(3...

Differentiate sin(x)cos(x) with respect to x?

You will have to use the Product Rule. The Product rule: when y=f(x)g(x), then dy/dx=f'(x)g(x)+f(x)g'(x). In this example, f(x)=sin(x) and g(x)=cos(x). Hence f'(x)=cos(x) and g'(x)=-sin(x). Using these an...
