How to calculate the integral of sec(x)?

First of all, multiply secx by (secx+tanx)/(secx+tanx). Use the substitution u=secx+tanx, so that du=(secxtanx+sec2x) dx and then substitute both terms. Calculate the integral of the du/u arriv...

By Differentiating from first principles, find the gradient of the curve f(x) = x^2 at the point where x = 2

This qustion can be solved easily using the gradient formular, m = ∆y/∆x, and some simple algrebra.

The gradient at the point x = 2 is calculated by find the gradient of a tangent at x = 2. To find...

If z=4+i, what is 1/z? (in the form a+bi)

1/z =1/(4+i) Multiply both top and bottom by the complex conjugate, z* = 4 - i, 1/z = (4-i)/((4+i)(4-i)) = (4-i)/(16+4i-4i-i2) = (4-i)/17 ans: 4/17 - i/17

Prove by induction that (n^3)-n is divisible by 3 for all integers n>0 (typical fp1 problem)

Let P(n) be the statement “(n^3)-n is divisible by 3”

First we’ll examine the base case: P(1)

(n^3)-n=1^3-1=1-1=0

0=3*0, so is divisible by 3, and so P(1) is true

Now assume fo...
