What are logarithms?

Logarithms allow us to calculate and manipulate indices in relation to regular numbers. The key thing to remember is that "logxy" begs the question "which power of x gives y". By this, we mean that we can write "y=xp" (where p is the unknown indice) as "logxy = p".

How do I integrate sin^2(x)?

Differentiate y = 2x^3 + 6x^2 + 4x + 3 with respect to x.


The functions f and g are defined by f : x → 2x + ln 2, g : x → e^(2x). Find the composite function gf, sketch its graph and find its range.
