Integrate the function f(x)=3^x+2 with respect to x

First note that a=eln(a) and ln(ab)=bln(a)By substituting a=3x we get a=3x=eln(3^x)=exln(3), and hence f(x)=exln(3)

Find the maximum value of 2sin(x)-1.5cos(x)

Put the equation in the form Rsin(x-a) (=Rsin(x)cos(a)-Rcos(x)sin(a)). Looking at the original equation Rcos(a) = 2 and Rsin(a) = 1.5. Tan(a)=1.5/2 and R^2= 2^2 +1.5^2. Therefore R = 2.5 and a = 0.6435.Th...

Given that y = cos(3x)cosec(5x), use the product rule to find dy/dx.

Write out the product rule: if y=f(x)g(x) where f and g are functions, dy/dx = f'(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x)
Substitute in the expressions from the question:Therefore if f(x)=cos(3x) and g(x) = cosec(5x), f'...

How do you find the equation of a tangent to a curve at a certain point, from the equation of the curve?

First thing you would do is write down the coordinates where the tangent meets the curve. After that you would differenciate the equation (f(x)) of the curve (do dy/dx) in order to get f'(x).Then you woul...

John wants to separate a rectangular part of his garden for his puppy. He has material for a 100-meter long fence and he plans to use one side of his house as a barrier. How should John select the sizes of his fence in order to gain the biggest territory?

We can denote the sides of the rectangle with a and b. As one side of the separated area is going to be the wall of the house, we do not have to use a fence there. Therefore, we will have two sides, one ...
