Integrade the function f(x) = 1/(x^2 - 5x +6) with respect to x.

First, we need to factorise the denominator and therefore we use this formula: x1,2 =[ -b + sqrt(b2 -4 a c) ]/ (2a). You obtain two roots, x = 2 and x=3 and the integration is simpli...

Differentiate f(x)= 3y^2 + ln (x) + sin x

We have derivative rules. Some of them involve:If f(x)= (x)a=> f'(x)= a*xa-1If f(x)= ln x=> f'(x)= 1/xIf f(x)= sin x=> f'(x)=cos xTherefore, f(x)= 6y+1/x+cos x

Prove Wilson's Theorem, i.e. (p-1)! = -1 (mod p) for any prime number p.

Claim: For any prime p: (p-1)! = -1 (mod p)Proof: For p=2: 1! = 1 so the equality obviously holds. Therefore, we need to consider cases when p is odd.
Let's consider set: {1, ... , p-1}...
