Show that (x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3) can be written in the form ax3 + bx2 + cx + d where a, b, c and d are positive integers.

(x+1)(x+2) = ( x^2 + 3x + 2) - multiplying out the first 2 terms(x^2 + 3x + 2)(x + 3) = x^3 + 3x^2 + 2x + 3x^2 + 9x + 6 - multiplying the product of the first two terms by the last termx^3 + 6x^2 + 11x + ...

Integrate exp(2x)cos(8x) by parts

Let u=exp(2x) and v'=cos(8x)From these you can obtain u' and vu=2exp(2x) and v=1/8 sin(8x)Formula: integral(uv'dx)=uv-integral(vu'dx)=1/8 exp(2x)sin(8x)-integral(1/4 sin(8x)exp(2x))=1/8exp(2x)sin(8x)+1/16...
