Using substitution, integrate x(2 + x))^1/2 where u^2 = 2 + x

u2 = 2 + xx = u2 - 2dx/du = 2u
ʃ x(2 + x))1/2 dx= ʃ xu dx= ʃ u(u2 - 2) dx= ʃ 2u2 (u2 - 2) du= ʃ 2u4 - 4u2 du= [...

The volume, V, of water in a tank at time t seconds is given by V = 1/3*t^6 - 2*t^4 + 3*t^2, for t=>0. (i) Find dV/dt

The differential of a function is is rate of range of that function. Therefore to find dV/dt, we are finding the rate of change of the volume per unit time.Recall, in order to differentiate a term, e.g. x...

Differentiate with respect to x: y = xln[2x]

This is an example of a question where we would have to use the product rule for differentiation, because we have two functions multiplied together ( x and ln(2x) ).If we have: y = uv, where u and v are f...
