How does the product rule for differentiation work

The chain rule works so that if you have y=f(x)g(x), where f(x) and g(x) are functions of x, dy/dx = f'(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x)

Integrate 1 / x(2sqrt(x)-1) on [1,9] using x = u^2 (u > 0).


Let w, z be complex numbers. Show that |wz|=|w||z|, and using the fact that x=|x|e^{arg(x)i}, show further that arg(wz)=arg(w)+arg(z) where |.| is the absolute value and arg(.) is the angle (in polar coordinates). Hence, find all solutions to x^n=1 .
