Show that the integral ∫(1-2 sin^2⁡x)/(1+2sinxcosx) dx = (1/2) ln2 between the limits π/4 and 0. [5 marks]

First, we use the trig identities: cos2x=cos^2x-sin^2x, cos^2x+sin^2x=1 and sin2x=2sinxcosx to transform the integral to ∫(cos2x)/(1+sin2x)dx. We know that ∫f'(x)/f(x)dx = ln|f(x)|+c, so we let f(x)=1+sin2x....

Write (√(18)+10)/√(2) in the form: p + q√2 [4 marks]

First, simplify √18 by writing it as √(9x2) = √9 x √2 = 3√2. Then, rationalise the denominator by multiplying both top and bottom of the fraction by √2. This gives √2 x √2 = 2 in the denominator, and (3√2+10...
