Find the exact solution to: ln(x) + ln(7) = ln(21)

Log rules:

log(a) + log(b) = log(ab)

so, in this case, we must find x such that 7x = 21

thus x = 3

similarly, log(a) - log(b) = lo...

Write sqrt(50) in the form Asqrt(50) where A is an integer

Note that sqrt(ab)=sqrt(a)sqrt(b)

Thus to have A, an integer, we must find the highest number 'a' that is a square number and is also a factor of 50.

So, a=25 and b=2 (ab=25...

Differentiate the function f(x) = x*sin(x)

This function is the product of the two functions 'x' and 'sin(x)'. Therefore we use the product rule, which says that the differential of a product of two functions is the differential of the first mu...
