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

For rectangles of area 100 m^2 what is the perimeter of the rectangle with the smallest perimeter?

100=ab

P=2a+2b

P=2a+200/a

dP/da=2-200/a^2

dP/da=0 implies 2=200/a^2

a^2=100

a=-10,10

a is a length so t...

Find the integral of 3x^2 + 4x + 9 with respect to x.

We must first remember that to integrate, we must increase the power by 1 and divide by this new power.

Therefore, to integrate 3x^2 + 4x + 9, we take the first term, 3x^2

What is the integral of (cos(x))^2?

cos(2x) = 2cos2(x)-1 by the double angle formula.

Rearrange to give cos2(x) = (cos(2x)+1)/2

Integrating this gives sin(2x)/4 + 1/4x + c
