Using the addition formula for sin(x+y), find sin(3x) in terms of sin(x) and hence show that sin(10) is a root of the equation 8x^3 - 6x + 1

First we state the formula for sin(x+y)

sin(x+y) = sin(x)cos(y) + cos(x)sin(y)

Letting y = 2x

sin(x+2x) = sin(x)cos(2x) + cos(x)sin(2x)

Now sin(2...

Using Integration by Parts, find the indefinite integral of ln(x), and hence show that the integral of ln(x) between 2 and 4 is ln(a) - b where a and b are to be found

Using integration by parts, we can re-write the integral of ln(x) as (xln(x) - int(x(1/x))) = x*ln(x) - x

Therefore, evaluating between 2 and 4 gives us (4ln(4) - 4) - (2

if x^2 + 9x + 20 = 0, what are the possible values of x?

So x2 + 9x + 20 = 0 My preffered way of solving this equation is to factorise the equation. (Though I understand that different students may find other ways easier) Factorisation is where the a...

How do I find the equation of a straight line?

Let's draw a line. It crosses the point (0,1), intercepting the y-axis (remember, y to the sky!) at 1 and the x-axis at the point (-2,0).

An equation tells us what a line looks like, it's...

Given that d/dx(cosx)=-sinx show that d/dx(secx)=secx(tanx)

let y=sec(x) = 1/(cos(X)) = cos(x)-1

Thus dy/dx = -1(cos(x))-2(-sinx) = sin(x)/(cos(x))2

= 1/cos(x)  x  sin(x)/cos(x)

=sec(x)t...
