How do you integrate ln(x) with respect to x?

Rewrite ln(x) as 1ln(x) then integrate by parts.  The formula for integration by parts is  uv' = uv -  vu', here use u = ln(x) and v' = 1.  By differentiating u we get u' = 1/x, an...

Differentiate the function f(x) = sin(x)/(x^2 +1) , giving your answer in the form of a single fraction. Is x=0 a stationary point of this curve?

The key concepts to apply in this question will be the product and chain rules, namely: if  f(x)=g(x)h(h), then f'(x)=g(x)h'(x) + g'(x)h(x), and if h(x)=u(v(x)), then h'(x)=u'(v(x))v'(x).

Show that: [sin(2a)] / [1+cos(2a)] = tan(a)

We start by expanding out the double trigonometric terms (sin(2a)) using the double angle formula, giving us: [2sin(a)cos(a)] / [1+cos^2(a) - sin^2(a)]. Next we spot that on the denominator (bottom half o...

What does it mean when I get a negative value when I do a definite integral?

The definite integral gives the value of the area bounded between the curve at the given limits, and the x-axis (if we are integrating with respect to x!) If this value is negative, it means that the area...

Differentiate y=x^2cos(x)

using the product rule

product rule is dy/dx=v.du/dx+u.dv/dx

let u = x^2 and v = cos(x)

du/dx=2x

dv/dx = -sin(x)

so dy/dx=2xcos(x)-x^2sin(x)
