Integrate tan(x) wrt x

Use substitutionlet u = cos(x)du = - sin(x)dxint(tan(x)) dx = int(sinx/cosx) dx = - int(1/u) du = - ln(u) + c= ln(secx) + c

You have three keys in your pocket which you extract in a random way to unlock a lock. Assume that exactly one key opens the door when you pick it out of your pocket. Find the expectation value of the number of times you need to pick out a key to unlock.


It is given that f(x)=(x^2 +9x)/((x-1)(x^2 +9)). (i) Express f(x) in partial fractions. (ii) Hence find the integral of f(x) with respect to x.


Two planes have eqns r.(3i – 4j + 2k) = 5 and r = λ (2i + j + 5k) + μ(i – j – 2k), where λ and μ are scalar parameters. Find the acute angle between the planes, giving your answer to the nearest degree.


f(x) = 9x^3 – 33x^2 –55x – 25. Given that x = 5 is a solution of the equation f(x) = 0, use an algebraic method to solve f(x) = 0 completely.
