Figure 1 shows a sector AOB of a circle with centre O and radius r cm. The angle AOB is θ radians. The area of the sector AOB is 11 cm2 Given that the perimeter of the sector is 4 times the length of the arc AB, find the exact value of r.

theta/2pi x2pir = length of ABso therefore simplifying gives... thetar = AB
Perimeter = 2r+thetarequate the answer of 4AB to the perimeter.Solve for theta which eventually give 2/3then put theta in the equation for the area of the sector which equals 11cm^2then solve for rthe answer should be the positive square root of 33

How do I find the integral ∫(ln(x))^2dx ?


Why is it that sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1?


I don't understand why the function "f(x)=x^2 for all real values of x" has no inverse. Isn't sqrt(x) the inverse?


f(x) = (x-5)/(x^2+5x+4), express this in partial fractions and hence find the integral of f(x) dx between x=0 and x=2, giving the answer as a single simplified logarithm.
