Take the 2nd derivative of 2e^(2x) with respect to x.

The second derivative is just two derivatives carried out back to back. In this case we just have to differentiate this function once, and then differentiate the result. The derivative of 2e^(2x) can then...

A cannon at ground level is firing at a fort 200m away with 20m high walls. It aims at an angle 30 degrees above the horizontal and fires cannonballs at 50m/s. Assuming no air resistance, will the cannonballs fall short, hit the walls or enter the fort?

solving horizontally, use v=s/t, where s=200, v=25(3)1/2. Hence t=s/v=8/(3)1/2 (where t is the time when the ball would reach the fort if it does not reach the ground)Solivng vertica...

Use Integration by parts to find ∫ xsin3x dx

∫ xsin3x dx takes the form of any integral ∫ (u)(dv/dx) dx.
∫ (u)(dv/dx) dx = uv - ∫ (v)(du/dx) dx
Taking u=x and dv/dx= sin3x. The equation can be re-written in the form uv - ∫ (v)(du/dx) dx....

A circle has equation: (x - 2)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 16. It intersects the y-axis (y > 0) at point P and the x-axis (x < 0) at point Q. Find the equation of the line connecting P and Q and of the line perpendicular to PQ passing through the circle's centre.

(x - 2)2 + (y - 2)2 = 16 x = 0 --> 4 + (y - 2)2 = 16 --> y - 2 = ±2sqrt{2} --> y = 2 ± 2sqrt{2} --> P(0,2 + 2sqrt{2})y = 0 --> (x - 2)2 + 4 = 16 ...
