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

Find two values of k, such that the line y = kx + 2 is tangent to the curve y = x^2 + 4x + 3


A curve with equation y=f(x) passes through the point (1, 4/3). Given that f'(x) = x^3 + 2*x^0.5 + 8, find f(x).


Solve these simultaneous equations: 2x+y-5=0 and x^2-y^2=3


Using the sum, chain and product rules, differentiate the function f(x) = x^n +x^3 * sin(1/[3x])
