By first proving that sin2θ=2sinθcosθ, calculate ∫1+sinθcosθ dθ.

We have, from the formula book, sin⁡(A±B)=sinAcosB±cosAsinB Using A=B=θ, we have sinθ+θ=sinθcosθ+cosθsinθ Which we can simplify to sin2θ=2sinθcosθ as required. We can then substitute this into the integral: 1+1/2sin2θ dθ From this we can calculate the integral, 1+1/2sin2θ dθ =θ-1/4cos2θ+c where c is an arbitrary constant.

y = 1/x^2, differentiate y (taken from AQA 2018 past paper)


A curve is described by f(x) = x^2 + 2x. A second curve is described by g(x) = x^2 -5x + 7. Find the point (s) where both curves intersect.


How do I differentiate y=x^x?


Work out the equation of the normal to the curve y = x^3 + 2x^2 - 5 at the point where x = -2. [5 marks]
