How would you integrate ln(x)

It can seem tricky to integrate ln(x), as there is no obvious solution to do it.It is, however, quite simple to do if you use the 'by parts' method.If you have y=ln(x)Set u=ln(x) and dv/dx=1That gives du/dx=1/x and v=x.So, using the 'by parts' formula, this would give an answer of xln(x)-x+c

State the trigonometric identities for sin2x, cos2x and tan2x


Consider the functions f(x) = −x^3 + 2x^2 + 3x and g(x) = −x^3 + 3x^2 − x + 3. (a) Find df/dx (x) and hence show that f(x) has turning points at when x = 2 /3 ± √ 13/ 3 . [5] (b) Find the points where f(x) and g(x) intersect. [4]
