How would I go about drawing the graph of f(x) = sin(x)/(e^x) for -π≤x≤2π?

Drawing this graph uses the same techniques as with most other functions. Just from inspection, we can see that as x increases, e^x also increases, and so the amplitude of the function will decrease (and ...

2 log(x + a) = log(16a^6) where a is a positive constant. How do I find x in terms of a?

The left hand side of the equation can be rewritten as log(x+a)^2, using the power rule for logs. We can then simplify log(x+a)^2=log(16a^6) to (x+a)^2=16a^6. Taking the square root of both sides, we find...

How do I solve quadratic equation by completing the square : X^2 - 4X = 5

We have X² - 4X = 5, write the expression on the left side as X² - 2•2X = 5. Then we would need extra term 4 to complete the square, so adding 4 on the both sides gives us, X²

Integrate cos(4x)+16x^3 with respect to x

This is a simple integration, integrating each individual term with respect to x.For the cos(4x), you should use 'integration by substitution' as it is a function of a function.cos(4x) = cos(u) and u = 4x...

When calculating a question with a double integral question between two different ranges which range relates to which integration variable.

When doing double integration with two arbitrary variables, for example 'x' and 'y' look at the Integration on the inside and integrate the function between the given range. For example if the integrand i...
