Help I don’t get this question
How do I do this?IMG_2563.jpeg
The correct answer is 17

And this question
How do I do this ??
IMG_2564.jpegquestion 4
I know dec func is when the derivative is less than 0 but I got ln0 which comes up with error

For the 1st one just use that integration is linear i.e. int(f + g) = int f + int g. In this case you know what int f(x) is with those limits, so you're just adding on the integral of '1' between 0 and 10.

For the second your criterion is correct but there shouldn't be any logarithms in your answers - they should all be of the form ke^x or ke^(-x) for some constant k :smile:

you should know by now we don't do worked solutions here :smile: and I'm a bit pressed for time right now. for 1st one you know what the integral of '1' is between 0 and 10 - it's just a rectangle of height 1 and width 10, so ...

for the second one you're only using the derivative of e^(ax) = ae^(ax) so just apply that in each case and remember that e^(something) is always positive if "something" is real. You shouldn't get any logarithms in any of the derivatives - refer to your formula sheet/book if unsure :smile:
