Prove the identity (sin2x)/(1+(tanx)^2) = 2sinx(cosx)^3

For a proof like this, I like to start with the more difficult-looking side, and aim to end up with the expression on the other side. Starting with the left hand side, the first thing to change is the sin...

Solve for x in the following equation: e^x + 10e^(-x) = 7

First of all, we bring the 7 to the left side of the equation to get: e^x-7+10e^-x=0. Then, by multiplying both sides of the equation by e^x, we can get an equation in the fo...

The line l1 has equation 4y - 3x = 10. Line l2 passes through points (5, -1) and (-1, 8). Determine whether the lines l1 and l2 are parallel, perpendicular or neither.

To determine the answer the gradient of both lines must be found. To find the gradient of line l1 the equation can be rewritten in the form y = mx + c. 4y - 3x = 10 so y = 3/4 x + 5/2. From this equation ...

Evaluate the integral of cos(x)sin(x)(1+ sin(x))^3 with respect to x.

Substitution of 'u=1+sin(x)' is required.Differentiating this with respect to x gives cos(x)... therefore du=1/cos(x) dxmultiplying that through leaves the integral of sin(x)(1+sin(x))^3 which therefore c...
