Integrate $$\int xe^x \mathop{\mathrm{d}x}$$.

We use integration by parts. Set $u = x$ and $dv/dx = e^x$. This leads to $du/dx = 1$, and $v = e^x$. Then:\begin{align*}\int xe^x \mathop{\mathrm{d}x} &= xe^x - \int e^x \mathop{\mathrm{d}x}\&= xe^x - e^x.\end{align*}

3. The point P lies on the curve with equation y=ln(x/3) The x-coordinate of P is 3. Find an equation of the normal to the curve at the point P in the form y = ax + b, where a and b are constants.


Time, T, is measured in tenths of a second with respect to distance x, is given by T(x)= 5(36+(x^2))^(1/2)+4(20-x). Find the value of x which minimises the time taken, hence calculate the minimum time.
