A level Maths question - The graph of y=2sin(2x)+1 is rotated 360 degrees about the x-axis to form a solid. Find the volume enclosed by the curve, the co-ordinate axes and the line x=pi/2


∫ x^3 *ln(2x) (from 2->1) can be written in the form pln 2 + q, where p and q are rational numbers. Find p and q.


How do I find the turning points of a curve?


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