Express x^2+3x+2 in the form (x+p)^2+q, where p and q are rational numbers.

 x2+3x+2 = (x+p)2+q (x+3/2)2 = x2+3x+9/4 x2+3x+2 = (x+3/2)2-9/4+2 x2+3x+2 = (x+3/2)2-1/4

Given that y=(4x^2)lnx, find f"(x) when x=e^2


Solve the following definite integral: f(x)=3e^(2x+1) for the limits a=0 and b=1, leaving your answer in exact form.


I don't understand why the function "f(x)=x^2 for all real values of x" has no inverse. Isn't sqrt(x) the inverse?


Derive the following with respect to x1: y=(x1*x2)/(x1+x2).
