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(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x) and cos(2x) = 1 - 2sin^2(x), substitute the...

Using Integration by Parts, find the indefinite integral of ln(x), and hence show that the integral of ln(x) between 2 and 4 is ln(a) - b where a and b are to be found

Using integration by parts, we can re-write the integral of ln(x) as (x ln(x) - int(x (1/x))) = x*ln(x) - x Therefore, evaluating between 2 and 4 gives us (4 ln(4) - 4) - (2 ln(2) - 2) = 2ln(16/2) - 4 + 2 = ...
