You are given the equation of the line y=x^3+x^2-2x. Find the stationary points of the curve and determine the maximum and minimum points and find where it crosses the x-axis and thus sketch the graph

First differentiate the equation to find the equation of the tangents in terms of x. From this set dy/dx=0 because this is the stationary points, from this use the quadratic equation to find the value of x f...

Integrate $$\int xe^x \mathop{\mathrm{d}x}$$.

We use integration by parts. Set $u = x$ and $dv/dx = e^x$. This leads to $du/dx = 1$, and $v = e^x$. Then:\begin{align*}\int xe^x \mathop{\mathrm{d}x} &= xe^x - \int e^x \mathop{\mathrm{d}x}\&= xe^x...
