Find the general solution of the equation tan(2x + pi/2) = SQRT(3), giving your answer for x in terms of π in a simplified form.

Assume y = 2x + pi/2,
Since the period of 'tangent' is pi, the general solution of 'y' to valid the equation of tan(y) = SQRT(3) is the form of y = npi+pi/3 where 'n' is any positive or negative...

Use integration by parts to find ∫ (x^2)sin(x) dx. (A good example of having to use the by parts formula twice.)

Before we blindly start using the integration by parts formula, we can see that no matter how many times we differentiate or integrate sin(x) we will still have a trigonometric function. The aim of the 'b...

Find the intergal of 2x^5 -1/(4x^3) -5 giving each term in its simplest form.

When integrating, we raise the power by 1 and divide by the new powerSo, 2x5 becomes 2x6 /6 which simplified down as the question asks is x^6/3-1/(4x3) is -(1/4)x^-3<...

The functions f and g are defined by f : x → 2x + ln 2, g : x → e^(2x). Find the composite function gf, sketch its graph and find its range.

Composition of functions is when one function is inside of another function. That is, we replace each occurrence of x found in the outside function with the inside function. In our example, we start by wr...
