What happens to the rate of an enzyme-catalysed reaction when temperature increases? And when pH changes?

As temperature increases, the molecules involved in the reaction gain kinetic energy, increasing the chances of collision between the substrate molecules and the active sites of the enzymes, a step that i...

f(x)=2x^3-7x^2+4x+4, prove that (x-2) is a factor and factorise f(x) completely

if (X-2) is a factor, f(2)=0

22^3-72^2+4*2+4= 16-28+8+4=0

therefore (x-2) is a factor.

2x^3-7x^2+4x+4=(x-2)(2x^2-3x-2)=(x-2)(2x+1)(x-2)

Find the derivation of (sinx)(e^2x)

Because there are two forms of x , the form uv'+vu' must be used.

If y=sinx , dy/dx=cosx 

If y=e^kx , dy/dx=ke^kx

Therefore dy/dx=(sinx)(2e^2x)+(e^2x)(cosx)
