Find dy/dx if y=(x^3)(e^2x)

Use product rule. Set u=x^3 and v=e^2x. Differentiate u and v. Then dy/dx = uv'+vu' = (3x^2)*(e^(2x))+(2x^3)(e^(2x)). This problem is best explained written on a whiteboard (it's difficult to give an explana...

Use integration to find I = ∫ xsin3x dx

Use integration by parts, let U = x, the derivative of U = 1, let the derivative of V = sin3x and intergrate the derivative of V to arrive at V = (-1/3)(cos3x). Substitute the value into the formula uv − ∫ v...

Find a solution to sec^(2)(x)+2tan(x) = 0

This question is a quadratic equation in hiding. The first step to solving this would be to expand sec^(2)(x) into 1 + tan^(2)(x) as they are equivalent. This can be derived by dividing sin^(2)(x) + cos^(2)(...

Two simultaneous questions are given as 3x+2y = 9, and x-2y = -5. Find the values for x and y

Can be solved in 3 ways: Substitution - can rearrange equation 2 to for x = 2y-5. Then substitute this in to equation 1 to form, 3(2y-5)+2y = 9. Multiply out the brackets and rearrange to form 8y = 24, so y=...
