    Re: MX2 Integration Marathon 1. Let u^2 = x 2. IBP I = 2\left ( \frac{u^2}{2}tan^{-1}u - \frac{1}{2}\int \frac{u^2du}{1+u^2} \right ) +C \\ \\ I = 2 \left ( \frac{u^2}{2}tan^{-1}u - \frac{1}{2} \left ( u - tan^{-1}u \right )\right ) +C \\ \\ I = x tan^{-1} {\sqrt{x}} + tan^{-1}{\sqrt{x}} -...

    Polynomials??

    P(x) = (x-2)^2 (px+q) P(1) = 6 --> P(1) = p + q = 6 P(3) = 8 --> P(3) = 3p + q = 8 Simultaneously solve for p and q P(x) = (x-2)^2 (x + 5) Might expand.. no other way i can think of is this a 4u question?

    Log & Rates Q help

    You can :) \frac{12t}{t^2 +4}L/min $means: \\ \\ $\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{12t}{t^2 + 4} \\ dV = \frac{12t}{t^2 +4}dt \\ \therefore \int dV = 12\int \frac{t}{t^2 +4}dt \\ \int dV = \frac{12}{2}\int \frac{2t}{t^2 +4}dt \\ \therefore V = 6ln(t^2 +4)+ C \\ \\$ $At $ t = 0, v = 0, \therefore C =...

    -dont be afraid -try to concetrate a lot while ur studying, some teachers say 'ur performance in ur test reflects how much u study and how u study'. So if u concentrate and do practice questions just like if they were in the test (TO THE BEST OF UR ABILITY), u'll do fine -logic is ur best friend...
