Share £650 in the ratio 8:5

Begin by adding the 2 ratio parts (i.e. the numbers which make up the ratio) so 8+5 = 13.

Then divide the total sum by the sum of the ratio parts. Thus £650/13 = £50.

Integrate 1/(5-2x) for 3≤x≤4

You must be careful with these sorts of questions as although 1/(5-2x) is equivalent to (5-2x)^-1, when you integrate you would add one to the power and divide by the new power. But if you were to add one...

Using the addition formula for sin(x+y), find sin(3x) in terms of sin(x) and hence show that sin(10) is a root of the equation 8x^3 - 6x + 1

First we state the formula for sin(x+y)

sin(x+y) = sin(x)cos(y) + cos(x)sin(y)

Letting y = 2x

sin(x+2x) = sin(x)cos(2x) + cos(x)sin(2x)

Now sin(2...
