How do you solve integrals which are the result of a chain rule e.g. the integral of sin(2x+1)

∫sin(2x + 1)dx[newline]In this case the easiest way to solve the integral is to perform a substitution. The substitution should reduce the integral to something you can solve. In this case we will[newline...

Factorise 100-x^2

Via inspection, one can factorise this via the difference of squares; since a^2-b^2 = (a+b)(a-b), therefore:100-x^2 = (10-x)(10+x)

Via the product rule, or otherwise, differentiate 'y = xsin(x)'.

SInce, for y = uv, dy/dx = uv' + vu', where u' = du/dx, therefore:dy/dx = (1sin(x)) + (xcos(x)) = sin(x) + xcos(x)

Solve the simultaneous equations: 3y + 2x = 10, 4x - y + 3 = 2

The first step whenever you are given an equation is to group like terms. By this I mean put all the terms with the same letter next to it together and, in this case, the numbers without a letter. For the...

What is the area enclosed by the functions x^2 and sqrt(x)?

First, let's see how the plot of the functions looks like (draw on whiteboard). Next, let's calculate where the functions intersect by setting x2 = sqrt(x) and solving for x (manipulate by squa...
