Express Cosx-3Sinx in form Rcos(x+a) and show that cosx-3sinx=4 has no solution MEI OCR June 2016 C4
Cosx-3sinx =R(CosxCosa-SinxSina) 1=Rcosa R^2=1^2+3^2 r=(10)^0.5=(approx)3.16 a=1.249 3.16Cos(x+1.249)=4 has no solution as 4<3.16 so as cos(theta) has maximum value of 1, there are no solutions

Given that f(x) = (x^2 + 3)(5 - x), find f'(x).
It is given f(x)=(19x-2)/((5-x)(1+6x)) can be expressed A/(5-x)+B/(1+6x) where A and B are integers. i) Find A and B ii) Show the integral of this from 0 to 4 = Kln5
Differentiate sin(x)cos(x) using the product rule.
