To solve this you need to integrate by substitution. You can spot this because the differential of the bottom of the fraction is a multiple of the top part, showing this quickly; if u = x²  + 3...

The equation we use to integrate by parts is

y = uv - ∫ v(du/dx) dx + c

so we separate dy/dx into u=(3x-4) and dv/dx=(2x²+5)

however we still need to find du/dx an...

To find the gradient of the curve at t=2 we need to find an expression for dy/dx and then substitute in for t=2. We can make use of the chain rule to find this expression because dy/dx = (dy/dt)/(dx/dt) a...

First identify that integration by parts is required. Then seperate the integration so u = ln(x)     dv/dx = x then, du/dx = 1/x  v = (1/2)x^2 . And using the integration by parts formula with these subst...

y is a function of x₁ and x₂. We are asked to derive y with respect to x₁, meaning that x₂ remains constant. 

Note that y' is the deriva...
