Integrate | x^7 (ln x)^2 dx ( | used in place of sigma throughout question)

Start the integration by parts process

|udv = uv - |vdu

  u = (ln x)2             dv = x7 dx

du = 2(ln x)/x dx         v = 1/8 x8

In a geometric series, the first and fourth terms are 2048 and 256 respectively. Calculate r, the common ratio of the terms. The sum of the first n terms is 4092. Calculate the value of n.

A geometric series S always follows the same pattern: S = a + ar + ar^2 + ar^3 ... Here i've labelled the first term a, and the common ratio r. The next term in a geometric series is always the preceding ...

The quadratic equation (k+1)x^2+12x+(k-4)=0 has real roots. (a) Show that k^2-3k-40<=0. (b) Hence find the possible values of k.

(a) There is a quadratic equation which should e solved using the delta andthe roots formulas.

delta=a2-4ab

delta=144-4(k+1)(k-4)

delta=-4k2+12k+160

Express 3cos(theta) + 5sin(theta) in the form Rcos(theta - alpha) where R and alpha are constants, R>0 and 0<alpha<90. Give the exact value of R and the value of alpha to 2dp.

Write out identity:

Rcos(theta - alpha) = Rcos(theta)cos(alpha) + Rsin(theta)sin(alpha) from formula booklet

Write out in form of question so it's easier to compare:

3cos(theta) + 5si...
