By the product rule, the derivative is 2x ln x + x² x (1/x) = 2x ln x + x.
The derivative of ln x is 1/x, so the integral of 1/x is ln x + C.
The antiderivative is -cos x. So the value is -cos(pi) + cos(0) = 1 + 1 = 2.
Divide top and bottom by x². The terms with x in the denominator vanish, leaving 3 / 1 = 3.
The derivative of tan x is sec² x.
f'(x) = 4 - 2x = 0 gives x = 2, and f(2) = 3 + 8 - 4 = 7. The parabola opens downward, so this is a maximum.
The area is the integral of x from 0 to 4, which is 16/2 = 8. It is also the area of a triangle with base 4 and height 4.
By the chain rule, the derivative is cos(x²) multiplied by the derivative of x², which is 2x.
Integration by parts gives x e^x - e^x + C, which equals e^x (x - 1) + C.
By the chain rule, the derivative is 1/2 (x² + 1)^(-1/2) x 2x = x / sqrt(x² + 1).
