Given that 2cos(x+50)°=sin(x+40)° show tan x° = tan 40°/3

The formulae for the sum the sine and cosine of two angles are: 2(cos x°cos 50°- sin x°sin 50°)= sin x°cos 40°+cos x°sin 40°cos 50°= sin 40°sin 50° = cos 40° Therefore, 2 cos x°sin 40°- 2 sin x°cos 40° = sin...

Integrate x * sin(x) with respect to x by using integration by parts

The general formula for integration by parts to integrate something of the form u * v' is: u * v - (integral)[ (u' * v) dx ] . Thus we first need to write x * sin(x) in the form u * v' . Lets pick u = x and ...

write 2(sin^2(x)- cos^2(x)) + 6 sin(x) cos(x) in terms of cos(2x) and sin(2x)

We use the following double angle formulae cos(2x) = cos^2(x) - sin^2 (x) and sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x) to see that 2(sin^2(x)- cos^2(x)) + 6 sin(x) cos(x) = -2-(sin^2(x)+ cos^2(x)) + 3*2 sin(x) cos(x) = -2cos...

Given that 3^(-3/2) = a* 3^(1/2), find the exact value of a.

3^(3/2) = a * 3^(1/2) 3^(1/2) * 3^(-2) = 3^(3/2)Therefore a must be equal to 3^(-2)a = 1/9

A curve with equation y = f(x) passes through the point (4,25). Given that f'(x) = (3/8)*x^2 - 10x^(-1/2) + 1, find f(x).

f'(x) = (3/8) x^2 - 10x^(-1/2) + 1Each term must be integrated (increase the power by 1 and divide by the new power), remembering to include + c.f(x) = (3/8) (x/3)^3 - 10*(2x)^(1/2) + x + cf(x) = (1/8) x^3 -...
