Given that x = 1/2 is a root of the equation 2x^3 – 9x^2 + kx – 13 = 0, find the value of k and the other roots of the equation.

Firstly, we note that a 'root' is simply a solution of the equation (at least, in this case). Let's start from what we've been told: x = 1/2 is a root of the equation. Since it's a solution, let's sub it ...

Using the result: ∫(2xsin(x)cos(x))dx = -1⁄2[xcos(2x)-1⁄2sin(2x)] calculate ∫sin²(x) dx using integration by parts

Recall that ∫uv'=uv- ∫u'v Set u=sin²(x), v'=1 Therefore u'=2sin(x)cos(x) and v=x which gives us the following:

∫sin²(x)dx = xsin²(x) - ∫2xsin(x)cos(x)dx

The second integral in the above expr...

solve 2cos^2(x) - cos(x) = 0 on the interval 0<=x < 180

we start  y factoring and solving for each equation:

cos(x) (2cos(x) - 1) = 0 

this means: 

cos(x) = 0 and cos(x) = 1/2

from the first equation we get:   x = 90

and from...
