Also, the method in this lesson is for finding intercepts.  So, yes, to find the intercepts you always start by letting x=0.

(In particular letting x=0 lets you find the y-intercept.)

2x+3y=6

x=0:  2(0)+3y=6

           0+3y=6

               3y=6

Not sure if I'm answering your question...?

The substitution u=lnx will do the trick!  Then du=(1/x)dx and your integral reduces to u^2 du.

I wish there was some way to use actual math symbols.  I see everyone else using them but I don't see the option here.

How many conjugates of (123)(456) are there in S6?  This is probably pretty basic, but this counting stuff always messes with me!dizzy
