How do you intergrate sin^2(x)?

You have to write it in terms of cos(2x) using the double angle formula. The same applies for intergrating cos^2(x), you again have to write it in terms of cos(2x) using the same double angle formula.

Chris claims that, “for any given value of x , the gradient of the curve y=2x^3 +6x^2 - 12x +3 is always greater than the gradient of the curve y=1+60x−6x^2” . Show that Chris is wrong by finding all the values of x for which his claim is not true.
