Why is ꭍ2x=x^2+C?

Differentiating x2 gives dx2/dx=2x. Differentiating a constant C gives 0. d( x2 +C)/dx=dx2/dx+dC/dx=2x+0=2x. Since integration is the inverse function of differentiation, integrating 2x gives x2+C.

A block of mass M lies stationary on a rough plane inclined at an angle x to the horizontal. Find a general expression relating the coeffecient of friction between the block and the plane and the angle x. At what angle does the box begin to slide?


How do you simplify something of the form Acos(x) + Bsin(x) ?


Solve for x: logx(25) = log5(x)


a typical question would be a setof parametric equations y(t) and x(t), asking you to find dy/dx and then the tangent/normal to the curve at a certain point (ie t = 2)
