Two simultaneous questions are given as 3x+2y = 9, and x-2y = -5. Find the values for x and y

Can be solved in 3 ways: Substitution - can rearrange equation 2 to for x = 2y-5. Then substitute this in to equation 1 to form, 3(2y-5)+2y = 9. Multiply out the brackets and rearrange to form 8y = 24, so y=...

Solve the following integral: ∫ arcsin(x)/sqrt(1-x^2) dx

We will solve the integral by part. We know the formula for integration by parts: ∫ f(x)'g(x)dx=f(x)g(x)-∫f(x)g(x)'dx (1) . We know that: (arcsin (x))'=1/sqrt(1-x^2) . So we can write arcsin(x)/sqrt(1-x^2) d...
