Integrate x*ln(x)

Let u = ln(x) and dv/dx = x

Thus du/dx = 1/x and v = x2/2

Using the formula:

Integral of udv/dx = uv - Integral of v*du/dx

This becomes: Integral of x*ln(x) = (x2ln(x))/2 - Integral of x/2

Completing the integral on the RHS gives the answer to the question: (x2ln(x))/2 - x2/4

Differentiate the following: y=sin(x^2+2)


f(x) = x^3 - 13x^2 + 55x - 75 , find the gradient of the tangent at x=3


if f(x) = 4x^2 - 16ln(x-1) - 10, find f'(x) and hence solve the equation f'(x)=0.


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