Differentiate (3x)e^(3x)

3e^3x + (9x)e^3x This is a good question because it involves the use of both the chain and product rules of differentiation, as well as the differential of e (all of which occur frequently in Maths A-level and in late Physics A-level). On another note, a commonly asked question by A-level students is 'why is this useful', this can be provided with a satisfactory answer in this case as Euler's number occurs so frequently in the universe and working with it is so common place.

How do you sketch the curve y=(x^2 - 4)(x+3), marking on turning points and values at which it crosses the x axis


Given that (2x + 11 )/(2x + 1)(x + 3) ≡ A /(2x + 1) + B /(x + 3) , find the values of the constants A and B. Hence show that the integral from 0 to 2 (2x + 11)/ (2x + 1)(x + 3) dx = ln 15.
