Given that 4(cosec x)^2 - (cot x)^2 = k, express sec x in terms of k.

This question makes good use of the trigonometric identities tan 2 x + 1 = sec 2 x and 1 + cot 2 x = cosec 2 x which can be easily recited in the exam by using the identity sin 2 x + cos 2 x = 1 and then div...

Find the gradient of the line 4x+9y=10.

There are two approaches to this problem. Firstly, you could rearrange the equation so that you have the general equation of a line, y=mx+c, where m is the gradient that you are looking for! When we rearrang...

How do you integrate 3x^2 - 6x + 5 (wrt x)?

To integrate any term, add one to the power of x and divide the co-efficient (amount of x) by the new power, so x n becomes x (n+1) /(n+1). Using this, 3x 2 becomes 1x 3 , -6x becomes -3x 2 , and 5 becomes 5...
