Consider the function y = x.sin(x); differentiate the function with respect to x

Using the product rule :u = x, so du/dx = 1
v = sin(x), so dv/dx = cos(x)
Therefore dy/dx = v(du/dx) + u(dv/dx) So dy/dx = sin(x) + x.cos(x)

Integrate x((x^2)+2) dx


Show that the equation 2sin^2(x) + 3sin(x) = 2cos(2x) + 3 can be written as 6sin^2(x)+3sin(x) - 5 = 0. Hence solve for 0 < x < 360 degrees. Giving your answers to 1.d.p.
