Find the value of dx by dividing the difference between the integral boundaries by the number of ordinates minus 1. Therefore dx=(1-0)/4=1/4. Then define your ordinates, by 5 values between 0 and 1, where...

From the following identity, cos(a-b) = cosacosb+ sinasinb, we find that 4sinx+3cosx = R(cosxcosa+sinxsina). We now equate the coefficients: 3 = Rcosa and 4=Rsina. Using basic trigonometry, we can make th...

Firstly square both sides. This way, we now know that both sides have to be positive

(3x+1)^2 = 1

(3x+1)(3x+1) = 1

Expand the quadratic...

9x^2 + 12x + 4 = 1

So we are meant to rearrange the given equation in a way that it looks like: (x+p)^2 + q This should look familiar. It is obtained by completing the square. Which will be the method I will describe below:...

To differentiate a simple expression such as x^3 + 2x you simply multiply the power of the x by the multiple in front of the x value and then take away one from the power. For example the expression would...
