Show, by counter-example, that the statement "If cos(a) = cos(b) then sin(a) = sin(b)" is false.

Let a=60 and b=300. Then cos(a)=cos(60)=0.5 and cos(b)=cos(300)=0.5, therefore cos(a)=cos(b). Then sin(a)=sin(60)=sqrt(3)/2 and sin(b)=sin(300)=-sqrt(3)/2, therefore sin(a)=sin(b) is incorrect. Therefore we ...

Differentiate y(x)=x^2 + 2x + 1, find the turning point and classify it as minimum or maximum.

dy/dx=2x + 2 Turning point is where dy/dx=0, so when x = -1 When x=-1, y=0. d^2y/dx^2=2 > 0 therefore minimum.
