Differentiate f(x) = x sin(x)

In this question, we have the product of two separate terms, so we will choose to use the product rule for this question. Recall, for f(x) = u(x) v(x): f'(x) = u'(x) v(x) + u(x) v'(x). Here, we can set u(...

Find the coordinates of the stationary point of y = x^2 + x - 2

At a stationary point, the gradient/slope of the graph is 0. To find the gradient of y, we differentiate with respect to x.This gives us dy/dx = 2x + 1. Since we want to find where the gradient is 0, we s...

Find the integral of: sin^4(x)*cos(x)dx

This is a standard integral of the type f'(x)*f(x)n. To find the solution, we trial d/dx(f(x)n+1). d/dx(sin5(x)) = 5sin4(x)cos(x). this looks similar to the int...

How to differentiate y = xcos(x)

You would first of all establish which differentiation rule is required, for this question it would be useful to use the product rule splitting xcos(x) into x multiplied by cos(x). We can label u = x and ...

write the vector equation of a line passing through (1,-1,2) and (2,2,2).

The vector from (1,-1,2) to (2,2,2) will have direction (2,2,2)-(1,-1,2) which is (1,3,0) so the vector equation is r =(1,-1,2) + s(1,3,0) where s is a scalar.
