Solve int(ln(x)dx)

To solve this we must use integration by parts: int(udv) = uv - int(vdu) (1) Hence let u = ln(x), dv = dx => du=(1/x)dx, v=x, and now using (1) and substituting values we obtain int(ln(x)dx) = ln(x)x - int(x(1/x)dx) = ln(x)x - int(dx) = xln(x) - x + C

A curve C has equation y = x^2 − 2x − 24sqrt x, x > 0. Prove that it has a stationary point at x=4.


Find the area under the curve y = (4x^3) + (9x^2) - 2x + 7 between x=0 and x=2


Find the derivative of the function y=3x^2e^(2x)sin(x).


The function f has domain (-∞, 0) and is defines as f(x) = (x^2 + 2)/(x^2 + 5) (here ^ is used to represent a power). Show that f'(x) < 0. What is the range of f?
