Express 3cos(x)+4sin(x) in the form Rsin(x+y) where you should explicitly determine R and y.

Since Rsin(x+y)=Rsin(x)cos(y)+Rsin(y)cos(x), we can set Rcos(y)=4 (1) and Rsin(y)=3 (2) on comparison to the desired equation. Considering (2) divided by (1) we see that tan(y)=sin(y)/cos(y)=3/4 so y=atan...

What is the difference between allopatric and sympatric speciation?

Allopatric speciation occurs when populations of a species are separated by a physical barrier - this could be a river for animals that cannot swim, for example. Separation of the populations means that t...

Explain why the enthalpy of lattice dissociation of potassium oxide is less endothermic than that of sodium oxide.

Lattice dissociation enthalpy is the enthalpy change when one mole of a gaseous ionic lattice dissociates into isolated gaseous ions. The process is endothermic because energy is required to overcome the ...

How Do I Integrate cos(x) and sin(x) with higher powers?

The answer to this question depends on one thing, whether this power is odd or even.

For even powers we use the identity cos(2x) = 2cos^2(x)-1 = 1-2sin^2(x). So for example, the integral of cos^2(x...
