Find the second derivative of $e^{x^{3}}+7x$

$$e^{x^{3}}+7x$$ Here is what I have tried so far, $$y'=(e^{x^{3}})'+(7x)'$$ $$y'=3e^{x^{2}}e^x+7$$ $$y'=3e^{x^{3}+x}+7$$ I am supposed to find the second derivative but I believe I have already made ...

Wrong Wolfram|Alpha limit?

I have this function: $$ f(x,y) = \frac {xy}{|x|+|y|} $$ And I want to evaluate it's limit when $$ (x,y) \to (0,0)$$ My guess is that it tends to zero. So, by definition, if: $$ \forall \varepsilon ...

A limit wrong using Wolfram Alpha

I want to calculate the following limit: $$\displaystyle{\lim_{x \to 0} \cfrac{\displaystyle{\int_1^{x^2+1} \cfrac{e^{-t}}{t} \; dt}}{3x^2}}$$ For that, I use L'Hopital and the Fundamental Theorem ...

(Wolframalpha) this shouldnt give x=50?

This is my problem: I need x or y for the triangle area that forms between the vertical axis(y) and the function y=100+2x where the area is equal to 2500. so I used for condition to the linear ...

An integral evaluation

I tried my luck with Wolfram Alpha, with $p \in \mathbb{R}$ $$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{x^p}{1+x^2} dx = \frac{1}{2} \pi ((-1)^p+1) \sec(\frac{\pi p}{2})$$ for $-1<p<1$, and doesn't exist ...

a question about the sum of $ e^{ikx}$

I have a simple question. Let $ S = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {e^{ikx} } $ using the typical trick , we also have $ S\left( {e^{ix} - 1} \right) = e^{i\left( {n + 1} \right)x} - e^{ix} $ and if $ ...

Understanding a Wolfram|Alpha explanation on a simple integral

I'll probably kick myself when someone explains it, but I can't understand where the 1/12 comes from after the re-substitution of u? I thought it would be 1/3, but it clearly isn't. Why is that? ...

Use WolframAlpha to compute the real Fourier series of a function

How can I use Wolfram|Alpha to compute the Fourier series (with real coefficients $a_0, a_n$ and $b_n$)? (The 'Fourier series' command seems to summon the complex series) I.e. $f(x) = x + \pi$ for ...

limit of $2^n/3^{n/2}$ as $n\to\infty$

$$ \lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{2^n}{3^{n/2}}$$ I used wolfram to get the limit as follows: "lim n tends infinity 2^n/3^(n/2)". And using L'Hospital's rule the result was: ...

Comparing integral resolutions using Wolfram Alpha / Mathematica

Equations are in $\LaTeX$ format; I'm still trying to understand how MathJax works. Given the following integral: $\int_0^{+\infty } \frac{1}{x \sqrt{x}} \, dx$ I'm pretty sure that does not ...
