Find the derivative of the equation y = x*ln(x)

y = x*ln(x)Let u = x, v = ln(x) => du/dx = 1, dv/dx = 1/x=> y = uv=> dy/dx = (du/dx)v + u(dv/dx) USING PRODUCT RULETherefore y = ln(x) + 1

If I had an equation with both 'x' and 'y' present, how would I find the gradient?


Given that y = 4x^3 -1 + 2x^1/2 (where x>0) find dy/dx.


Why does ln(x) differentiate to 1/x ?


Express cos2x in the form a*cos^2(x) + b and hence show that the integral of cos^2(x) between 0 and pi/2 is equal to pi/a.
