Integrate the function 1/sqrt(9-x^2) with respect to x

Hint: Use the substitution x = 3sin(u)Method: substitute u into the function then times it all by dx/du. Simplify and integrate with respect to u to get u. Then resubstitute x back into the equation to get:Answer: arcsin(x/3)

Find the gradient of the exponential curve y(x)=(9e^(7x))/(12e^(2x)) at x=2/5


We have the curve f(x) = (x^2-5x)(x-1)+ 3x. Sketch the graph y=f(x), making sure to plot the co-ordinates where the curve meets the axes.


How do you sketch the graph of a function?
