What is differentiation and integration?


An integral is an anti-derivative, meaning it will take the derivative we are assessing and return it back to its original function. Moreover, an integral is used to find the area under a curve. Differentiation is the opposite to integration and can be used to find the gradient of a curve.for example, y=f(x)= x2+xdy/dx= 2x+1integration of: 2x+1 = x2+x dx

Integral of sin^2(x) with respect to x


The line y = (a^2)x and the curve y = x(b − x)^2, where 0<a<b , intersect at the origin O and at points P and Q. Find the coordinates of P and Q, where P<Q, and sketch the line and the curve on the same axes. Find the tangent at the point P.


The curve C has the equation y = 2x^2 -11x + 13. Find the equation of the tangent to C at the point P (2, -1).
