    Area of a Sector

    Hi, I need a bit of help with the following question: I tried to solve simultaneously but ended up with r^2-r which I couldn't really use. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Volumes and Areas

    Thanks for the response. Im still a little confused however... In question 53b) i don't see how you got pi . [(-x^-1)] 5, 2 from pi .∫x^-2 dx [5, 2]. And in question 55b) i do not understand the last part about the area of rectangle enclosing the whole area...isn't 2 the area??? And the answer...

    Volumes and Areas

    Hi all, im struggling with finding the volumes and areas in these questions. I have solved part (a) in both of these questions but cannot solve part (b) in both: I made out 53a) to equal ln (5/2) units^2 and 55a) to equal 1.29 units^3 which are both correct according to the answers. However, I...

    Deriving Issues

    Hi guys, I am struggling with this question here: I have listed my answer (well as close as I have got to the answer) beneath the question, however it is incorrect according to the book. I used the product rule to first derive the numerator to get the equation, (1+lnx)/e^x. I then used the...

    Log questions

    Hello, im struggling with components in these two questions: Im completly unsure of how I would integrate in question 2, the e^x^2 confuses me the most. In question 8 I am stuck on how I would turn y=e^x into x=..., I am fine with the simpsons rule part. As always, any help is greatly...

    Integration of logs

    but shouldn't it be (pi/2).e^2(e^3-1)???

    Integration of logs

    Ah ok, that makes more sense, i wasn't breaking it up into two parts. Have you guys got any idea on how the book came up with (pi/2).e^2(e^4-1) as the answer for question 11???

    Integration of logs

    Thanks for the response...question 11 is alot more clear now, however the answer in the book is (pi/2).e^2(e^4-1). I just need a bit of clarification on q12...it seems you've added the 1 to ∫▒〖(x-6)/(x-1) dx should it then be ∫▒ (x-5)/(x-1) dx or is there something that i'm missing when it comes...

    Integration of logs

    I am struggling with these two questions: I am unsure of how to integrate e^2y in question 11 and am stuck on the second half of question 12, as in I can show that they equal (x-6)/(x-1) but am struggling when it comes to integrating. Thanks in advance for any help. BTW sorry about the...

    More log help

    Ahk, i misread the equation thats why i didn't understand i though it read 1/(x-2)=0. Anyway this is my final question, howcome in question 10 it stated that 1 - ln x = 0 shouldn't it read (1-lnx)/x^2=0??? And with regard to determing its nature, how do you test for numbers below and above...

    More log help

    Of course, why didn't i think of that lol. Now my problem lies in how you made y''=0 as when I use x=1/2 in the eqauation 1/x-2 i don't get 0 as an answer :S?

    More log help

    Sorry guys, im still a little confused as to how you got the first derivative. In question 9 for example i would have though the first derivative would have been y'=1.(1/x)-2x because you derive the log... Could you explain where I am going wrong?

    More log help

    Hi guys, i need some more help with logs and deriving them and stuff. Two questions I struggled with are below, I can get the first derivative for question 9 but am unsure of how I would get the second derivative and make it equal zero ect. And i'm completly lost on question 10 as far as making...
