How do you integrate x* (exp(x))??

The easiest method to use in this incidence is integratation by parts.

So let u=x and dv/dx=exp(x). Therefore du/dx=1 and v=exp(x).

Then we use the formula where integral(udu/dx)=uv...

Differentiate y=x^3*(x^2+1)

As this is a product of two functions it is necessary to use the product rule for differentiation. Therefore one of the functions must labeled v and the other u. i.e. u=x^3 and v=(x^2+1). It is then neces...

A right-angled triangle has an angle of 30 degrees and its hypotenuse has a length of 9cm. Find the length of either of the triangle's other two sides.

Please note that this solution is easier to explain with 2 diagrams 

The side opposite of the 30 degree angle: 

If we have the hypotenuse and require the length of the opposite side then we ...

Given y = ln((2x+3)/(7x^3 +1)). Find dy/dx

 y = ln(2x+3 / 7x^3 +1)

d/dx(2x+3 / 7x^3 + 1) by quotient rule which is(v.du/dx - u.dv/dx) / v^2  where u=2x+3 and v=7x^3 +1   gives (-27x^3 -63x^2 +2) / (7x^3 +1)^2

so d/dx(ln(2x+3 / 7x^3 +...

Given the function y=(x+1)(x-2)^2 find i) dy/dx ii) Stationary points and determine their nature

Here we have a function made from the product of two functions, so we canuse the product differenciation rule.

y=uv  =>  dy/dx=udv/dx + vdu/dx

Therefore dy/dy=(x-2)^2 + 2(x-2)(x+1)
