As the derivative of e^x is e^x, so is the integral (plus some constant). As we wish to find the value of the integral from x = 1 to x = 2, we substitute x=2 into e^x, and from that we subtract e^x with x...

x^2+5x+10 -> (x+p)^2+q (x+5/2)^2 - (5/2)^2 + 10 (x+5/2)^2 - (25/4) +40/4 (x+5/2)^2 +15/4

a) When differentiating y, the method with each term is to 'times by the power and minus 1'. In order to apply this, we need every term to consist of a coefficient multiplied by a power of x. To start wit...

Use double angle formula to rearrange for cos2x

this gives: x/2 + 1/4sin2x + C (constant)

differentiating the equation gives dy/dx = 4x^3 - 12x^2 dy/dx = 4x^2(x - 3)

at a turning point, dy/dx = 0. Solving the equation 4x^2(x - 3) = 0 yeilds x = 0, x = 3

putting 0 and 3 back into ...
