integrate (4cos^4 x -4cos^2x+1)^1/2

we must integrate (4cos 4 x-4cos 2 x+1) 1/2 factorise first ((2cos 2 x-1) 2 ) 1/2 this becomes (2cos 2 x-1)which equals cos 2xthe integral of cos 2x is1/2 sin 2x + C

How do you factorise a quadratic equation into the form (x+A)(x+B), for example x²+x-6 =0?

Quadratic equations are always given in the form a x 2 + b x + c . One way of solving (finding values of x) and therefore factorising is to use the quadratic formula which is :x = −b ± √(b 2 − 4ac)/ 2a ,usin...

3 teas and 2 coffees have a total cost of £7.80 5 teas and 4 coffees have a total cost of £14.20 Work out the cost of one tea and the cost of one coffee.

You make simultaneous equations. 1.) 3T+2C=7.82.) 5T+4C=14.2Then you make either the C or the T coefficient equal in both equations. I choose to make the C coefficients the same. So I multiplied equation 1 b...
