Use the product rule (f'(x)=u'v+uv')

Let u=x²    =>    u'=2x

Let v=log(2x)  =>   v'=2/(2x)  =>    v'=1/x

Therefore f'(x)=2xlog(2x)+x^2<...

If a quadratic equation is of the form : ax^2 +bx +c =0and has roots x1 and x2, then the following statements are true:x1+x2 = - b/ax1x2 = c/aIn our case: x1+x2 = - 8/2 = -4and x1x2 = 1/2Now, x1^...

First, notice that 1/(x^2) = x^(-2)dy/dx = d/dx (x^(-2) + 4x)The derivative of the sum is the sum of the derivatives= d/dx (x^(-2)) + d/dx (4x)The derivative of x^n is nx^(n-1), for every real number n, a...

First, we use 1 - sin(x)^2 = cos(x)^2 and get:(LHS) (cos(x)^2 + 4 sin(x)^2)/(1-sin(x)^2)= (cos(x)^2 + 4 sin(x)^2)/cos(x)^2= 1 + 4 (sin(x)/cos(x))^2= 1 + 4 tan(x)^2Now we know that the left hand side is eq...

When adding fractions, the denominators(the numbers at the bottom of the fractions) must be the same. If they are already the same, then you simply add the numer...
