Find the indefinite integral of sin(2x)(cos^2(x)) with respect to x.

We know from trigonmetric identities that cos(2x) = 2cos^2(x) -1, therefore cos^2(x) = 0.5(1+cos(2x)).

Subbing this in gives the following integrand: 0.5(1+cos(2x))sin(2x).

We can now split ...

A hollow sphere of radius r is being filled with water. The surface area of a hemisphere is 3pi*r^2. Question: When the water is at height r, and filling at a rate of 4cm^3s^-1, what is dS/dT?

By the chain rule ds/dt = ds/dr * dr/dv * dv/t. At a height of r, the water fills a hemisphere. So ds/dr = 6pir. dr/dv = 1/(dv/dr), so we need to find dv/dr. Students should have the formula for the v...

Solve the equation 5^(2x) - 12(5^x) + 35 = 0

The first step to solving this is equation is to notice that the equation is of a similar to the form of a quadratic equation: ay^2 + by + c  = 0 where a, b and c are constants. Next we introduce a new va...

Differentiate with respect to x: y = ln(x^2+4*x+2).

Let u = x2+4x+2 so y = ln(u).

Then dy/du = 1/u and du/dx = 2x+4.

Using the chain rule we have:

dy/dx = (dy/du)*(du/dx)

= (1/u)*(2x+4)

= (2x+4)/(x2+...

Prove that sec^2(θ) + cosec^2(θ) = sec^2(θ) * cosec^2(θ)

These problems can be tricky as they use unfamiliar trigonometric functions such as secant and cosecant. It is much easier to approach these problems by replacing these trigonometric functions with more f...
