If f'(x) = ( 2x+3) /x find f(x) if f(1) = 3

Given the first
derivative:


f'(x) =
(2x+3)/x


We need to find
f(x).


First we will simplify
f'(x).


==> f'(x) = 2x/x  +
3/x


==> f'(x) = 2 +
3/x


Now we know that f(x) = intg
f'(x).


==> f(x) = intg ( 2 + 3/x)
dx


             = intg 2 + intg 3/x 
dx


              = 2x + 3*lnx +
C


==> f(x) = 2x + 3*lnx +
C


But we are given that f(1) =
3


==> 2 + 3ln1 + C =
3


==> But ln 1 =
0


==> 2 + C =
3


==> C = 1


Then we
conclude that:


f(x) = 2x + 3*lnx + 1

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
