Show that the equation 5sin(x) = 1 + 2 [cos(x)]^2 can be written in the form 2[sin(x)]^2 + 5 sin(x)-3=0

First, we need to realise that we will be using the trigonometric identity sin(x)2 + cos(x)2 = 1
As our goal is to end up with an equation involving only sin, we will therefore ...

Integrate the function : F'(x)=3x^2+4x-5

F'(x)=3x^2+4x-5
F(x)=(3/(2+1))(x^(2+1))+(4/(1+1)) (x^(1+1))-5(x^(0+1))

Answer: F(x)=x^3+2x^2-5x+c

There are 5 white socks and 3 black socks in a draw. Steven takes out 2 at random. Work out the probability that Steven takes out 2 socks of the same colour.

P(WW) = 5/8 x 4/7 = 20/56

P(BB) = 3/8 x 2/7 = 6/56

P(same colour) = 20/56 + 6/56 = 26/56 = 13/28 (simplified)

ABC is a right angled triangle. D is the point on AB such that AD = 3DB. AC = 2DB and angle A = 90 degrees. Show that sinC = k/√20 where k is an integer. Find the value of k

AB = 4DB

AC = 2DB

Find BC using Pythagoras:

BC = √(4DB)2 + (2DB)2
