Solve: 2 sin(2x) = (1-sin(x))cos(x) for 0<x<2*Pi and give any values of x, if any, where the equation is not valid

Double angle formula:Sin(2x) = 2sin(x)*cos(x)==> 2sin(x)*cos(x) = (1-sin(x))*cos(x)       (2sin(x)-1+sin(x))*cos(x) = 0(3sin(x) - 1)*cos(x) = 0     i) cos(x) = 0,  ii) 3sin(x) = 1 ==> sin(x) = 1/3         i) x = Pi/2, 3Pi/2    ii) x = 0.3398 Rad,  2.8018 Rad

Solve the simultaneous equations y = x^2 - 6x and 2y + x - 6 = 0


The expansion of (1+x)^4 is 1 + 4x +nx^2 + 4x^3 + x^4. Find the value of n. Hence Find the integral of (1+√y)^4 between the values 1 and 0 (one top, zero bottom).


Prove the change of base formula for logarithms. That is, prove that log_a (x) = log_b (x) / log_b (a).


Given that sin(x)^2 + cos(x)^2 = 1, show that sec(x)^2 - tan(x)^2 = 1 (2 marks). Hence solve for x: tan(x)^2 + cos(x) = 1, x ≠ (2n + 1)π and -2π < x =< 2π(3 marks)
