Integrate xsin(x) with respect to x

For this use integration by parts, letting the integral = T. Let u = x and dv/dx = sin(x). Differentiating u with respect to x gives du/dx = 1. Integrating dv/dx with respect to x gives v = - cos(x). Now, using the integration by parts formula, we get T = - xcos(x) - integral of (-cos(x)). Then, integrating this gives T = sin(x) - xcos(x) + c (where c is a constant).

Given that y = 4x^3 -1 + 2x^1/2 (where x>0) find dy/dx.


a) Differentiate and b) integrate f(x)=xcos(2x) with respect to x


Express 3cos(x)+4sin(x) in the form Rsin(x+y) where you should explicitly determine R and y.


A cannon at ground level is firing at a fort 200m away with 20m high walls. It aims at an angle 30 degrees above the horizontal and fires cannonballs at 50m/s. Assuming no air resistance, will the cannonballs fall short, hit the walls or enter the fort?
