Use the product rule (f'(x)=u'v+uv')

Let u=x²    =>    u'=2x

Let v=log(2x)  =>   v'=2/(2x)  =>    v'=1/x

Therefore f'(x)=2xlog(2x)+x^2<...

If a quadratic equation is of the form : ax^2 +bx +c =0and has roots x1 and x2, then the following statements are true:x1+x2 = - b/ax1x2 = c/aIn our case: x1+x2 = - 8/2 = -4and x1x2 = 1/2Now, x1^...

First, notice that 1/(x^2) = x^(-2)dy/dx = d/dx (x^(-2) + 4x)The derivative of the sum is the sum of the derivatives= d/dx (x^(-2)) + d/dx (4x)The derivative of x^n is nx^(n-1), for every real number n, a...

First, we use 1 - sin(x)^2 = cos(x)^2 and get:(LHS) (cos(x)^2 + 4 sin(x)^2)/(1-sin(x)^2)= (cos(x)^2 + 4 sin(x)^2)/cos(x)^2= 1 + 4 (sin(x)/cos(x))^2= 1 + 4 tan(x)^2Now we know that the left hand side is eq...
