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...

How do you multiply matrices together?

Not all matrices can be multiplied together, so the first thing to do is check it's even possible! To do this write the matrices next to each other (we'll call the first one A and the second B). If the nu...

What is the first derivative of y=5z(1+2z2)? Is this a minimum, maximum or turning point?

You should not be put off by the algebraic letters used, substituting x's for z's is absolutely fine. For the first part of the question, since the equation involves the product of two terms, there are tw...
