Express 3cos(x)+4sin(x) in the form Rsin(x+y) where you should explicitly determine R and y.

Since Rsin(x+y)=Rsin(x)cos(y)+Rsin(y)cos(x), we can set Rcos(y)=4 (1) and Rsin(y)=3 (2) on comparison to the desired equation. Considering (2) divided by (1) we see that tan(y)=sin(y)/cos(y)=3/4 so y=atan...

How Do I Integrate cos(x) and sin(x) with higher powers?

The answer to this question depends on one thing, whether this power is odd or even.

For even powers we use the identity cos(2x) = 2cos^2(x)-1 = 1-2sin^2(x). So for example, the integral of cos^2(x...

differentiate: y^2 + 3xy + x + y = 8

dy/dx = 3x+1/ -2y-3x-1
