Differentiate: f(x)=2(sin(2x))^2 with respect to x, and evaluate as a single trigonometric function.

f(x) = 2sin²(2x)Therefore, using the chain rule: f'(x)=2 x 2cos(2x) x 2sin(2x)(The 2 at the front arises from the constant 2, at the start of f(x), the 2cos(2x) comes from differentiating sin

Given a right-angled triangle with an angle of 35 degrees and an Opposite side of 12cm, calculate the length of the hypotenuse to 3 significant figures.

First, determine which of SOH-CAH-TOA you need to use. As this question involves the Hypotenuse and the Opposite side, use Sine. As such, write out the equation as: sin(35) = 12/x. (Let x represent the Hy...

Solve for x to 3dp: x^2 + 6x + 2 = 0

We cannot factorise this so we shall use the quadratic formula instead.We need to substitute in the values for a, b, and c.ax² + bx + c = 0x² + 6x + 2 = 0a = 1, b=6, c=2Once substitu...
