I know how to integrate, but I still never see any real world example of it, so it is difficult to understand. Why is it useful?

(In tandem with the whiteboard) Integration is a way of working out the total of something. An example of this is if you see a graph of velocity and time, the area under the graph is the total distance tr...

Differentiate y=ln(2x^2) with respect to x

Making a substitution for u = 2x^2 Now y = ln(u) dy/dx = du/dx * dy/du du/dx = 4x dy/du = 1/u dy/dx = 4x/u Then substitute 2x^2 back in as u The final answer is 4x/(2x^2) Which can be simplified by divid...

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...

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...
