Integrate (x)(e^x) with respect to x and then integrate (x)(e^x) with respect to y.

i) By integration by parts, we see that it equals (x)(e^x)-(e^x)+C, where C denotes the constant of integration. ii) (x)(y)(e^x)+C, where C denotes the constant of integration.

How do you find the possible values of cos(x) from 5cos^2(x) - cos(x) = sin^2(x)?

First, you start by replacing sin^2(x) with 1-cos^2(x) as you want the equation to be in terms of cos(x) and you know sin^2(x)+cos^2(x) = 1. Then you rearrange the equation to get 0 on one side so that yo...

By completing the square, find the values of x that satisfy x^4 -8x^2 +15 = 0

x^4 -8x^2 +15 = 0, we rewrite the equation in square form as (x^2-4)^2 -16 +15 =0 (x^2 -4)^2 = 1 x^2 -4 = ±1 so x^2 = 4±1, (x^2 = 3 or x^2 = 5) Therefore x = {-√3, √3, -√5, √5)

Find the turning point of the function y=f(x)=x^2+4x+4 and state wether it is a minimum or maximum value.

In order to find turning points, we differentiate the function. Hence we get f'(x)=2x + 4. Setting f'(x)=0 we get x = -2 and inputting this into f(x) we get y = 0 therefore the turning point is (-2,0). To...

Differentiate arctan(x) with respect to x. Leave your answer in terms of x

Let y = arctan(x). Arctan(x) is difficult to differentiate but I know how to differentiate tan(x) (=sec^2(x)) so take the tan of both sides: tan(y) = x. The next step will be to differentiate both sides. ...
