Integrate x/((1-x^2)^0.5) with respect to x

x = sin(u), dx/du = cos(u), dx = cos(u) * du,[x/(1-x^2)^0.5)] * dx = [sin(u)/((1-(sin(u)^2))^0.5] * cos(u) * du = [sin(u)/(cos(u)^2)^0.5] * cos(u) * du = sin(u) * duIntegral of sin(u) * du = -cos(u) = -(1-sin(u)^2)^0.5 = -(1-x^2)^0.5

You are given that n is a positive integer. By expressing (x^2n)-1 as a product of factors, prove that (2^2n)-1 is divisible by 3.


The line y = (a^2)x and the curve y = x(b − x)^2, where 0<a<b , intersect at the origin O and at points P and Q. Find the coordinates of P and Q, where P<Q, and sketch the line and the curve on the same axes. Find the tangent at the point P.


A circle C has centre (-5, 12) and passes through the point (0,0) Find the second point where the line y=x intersects the circle.


Sketch, on a pair of axes, the curve with equation y = 6 - |3x+4| , indicating the coordinates where the curve crosses the axes, then solve the equation x = 6 - |3x+4|
