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

Let y = x^x. Find dy/dx.


Curves C1 and C2 have equations y= ln(4x-7)+18 and y= a(x^2 +b)^1/2 respectively, where a and b are positive constants. The point P lies on both curves and has x-coordinate 2. It is given that the gradient of C1 at P is equal to the gradient of C2 at P.


A curve has the equation x^2 +2x(y)^2 + y =4 . Find the expression dy/dx in terms of x and y [6]
