Integrate ((5x^3) + ((2x)^-1) + (e^2x))dx.

int(5x 3 + (2x) -1 + e 2x )dx =int(5x 3 )dx + int((2x) -1 )dx + int(e 2x )dx int(5x 3 )dx = (5/4)x 4 + c where c is the constant of integration int(2x -1 )dx = (1/2)ln(2x) + d where d is another constant of ...

Given that x(a+bx)(a-bx)=25x-4x^3, what is the value of b^(-a)? a,b>0

It's a two part question. First Part Expand the equation the left hand side to get a^(2)*x-b^(2)*x^3 thus comparing co-efficients a^2=25 and b^2=4 thus a= 5 b=2 Second Part Therefore b^(-a) is equal to 2^(-5...
