Let's go through the mathematical problems presented in the image. I'll provide solutions and explanations for each question.

Question 1: limx2x24x2\lim_{x \to 2} \frac{x^2-4}{x-2}

Solution: limx2x24x2=limx2(x2)(x+2)x2\lim_{x \to 2} \frac{x^2-4}{x-2} = \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{(x-2)(x+2)}{x-2} =limx2(x+2)=2+2=4= \lim_{x \to 2} (x+2) = 2 + 2 = 4

Question 2: Find the derivative of f(x)=3x3+5x2f(x) = 3x^3 + 5x - 2

Solution: The derivative f(x)f'(x) of the function f(x)=3x3+5x2f(x) = 3x^3 + 5x - 2 is calculated as follows: f(x)=ddx(3x3+5x2)=33x2+51=9x2+5f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(3x^3 + 5x - 2) = 3 \cdot 3x^2 + 5 \cdot 1 = 9x^2 + 5

Question 3: Solve the differential equation dydx=exsin(x)\frac{dy}{dx} = e^{x} \sin(x)

Solution: To solve dydx=exsin(x)\frac{dy}{dx} = e^{x} \sin(x), we need to integrate both sides with respect to xx: y=exsin(x)dxy = \int e^x \sin(x) \, dx Using integration by parts or recognizing it as a standard integral: y=12ex(sin(x)cos(x))+Cy = \frac{1}{2} e^x (\sin(x) - \cos(x)) + C where CC is the constant of integration.

Question 4: Compute the definite integral 0π/2sin2(x)dx\int_{0}^{\pi/2} \sin^2(x) \, dx

Solution: To compute 0π/2sin2(x)dx\int_{0}^{\pi/2} \sin^2(x) \, dx, we use the trigonometric identity sin2(x)=1cos(2x)2\sin^2(x) = \frac{1 - \cos(2x)}{2}: 0π/2sin2(x)dx=0π/21cos(2x)2dx\int_{0}^{\pi/2} \sin^2(x) \, dx = \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \frac{1 - \cos(2x)}{2} \, dx =120π/21dx120π/2cos(2x)dx= \frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{\pi/2} 1 \, dx - \frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \cos(2x) \, dx [ = \frac{1}{2} \left[ x \right]{0}^{\pi/2} - \frac{1}{2} \left[ \frac{\sin(2x)}{2} \right]{0}^{\pi/2} ] =12(π20)12(00)= \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{\pi}{2} - 0 \right) - \frac{1}{2} \left( 0 - 0 \right) =π4= \frac{\pi}{4}
