How do you integrate the term x^2?
When integrating terms that include a power, such as x2, there is a simple rule to remember. The rule is to add 1 to the power, and then divide the whole term by this number.For example, in the case, 2 is our power. Therefore, we need to add 1 to the power which is three, and then divide the whole term by three, as shown below.
Integrate: x2 = 1/3 * x3. (For info, I would write this out using the whiteboard so it was clearer).

Express 3cos(x)+4sin(x) in the form Rsin(x+y) where you should explicitly determine R and y.
Express 6sin(2x)+5cos(x) in the form Rsin(x+a) (0degrees<x<90degrees)
Via the product rule, or otherwise, differentiate 'y = xsin(x)'.
