Integrate (tanx)^2

Method:We use the trigonometric identity (tanx)^2 +1 = (secx)^2 to understand that (tanx)^2 can be written as (secx)^2-1.We then use the formula booklet to identify that (secx)^2 is a given integral and its result is tanx.Integrating any integer k means the result is kx.Answer:tanx-x

What the integral of e^2x*x? (limits 0,1)


A line runs between point A(5,9) and B(11,1). Find the equation of the line. Point C lies on the line between A and B. The line with equation 2y=3x+12 also crosses through point C. Find the x coordinate of Point C.


Use the chain rule to show that, if y = sec(x), then dy/dx = sec(x)tan(x).
