The triangle ABC is such that AC=8cm, CB=12cm, angle ACB=x radians. The area of triangle ABC = 20cm^2. Show that x=0.430 (3sf)

From the equation of the area of a triangle,
Area = 1/2 ACCBsin(C)
20 = 1/2 * 8 *12 * sin(x) 
=> sin(x) = 0.416666...
=> x = 0.430 to 3sf

Let y=arcsin(x-1), 0<=x<=2 (where <= means less than or equal to). Find x in terms of y, and show that dx/dy=cos(y).


Given that y = x^4 tan(2x), find dy/dx


Solve 4x/(x+1) - 3/(2x+1) = 1
