    Integration of sin3x

    Use subsitution, its a lot easier than you think cos<sup>3</sup>@ = (1 - sin<sup>2</sup>@) x cos@ Therefore the: ∫cos<sup>3</sup>@ d@ =∫ (1 - sin<sup>2</sup>@) x cos@ d@ Let u = sin@ so du = cos@.d@ Substituting these in, you get the ∫ (1 - u<sup>2</sup> )du ....... *now this...

    Integration of sin3x

    Hang on a minute...so you actually do mean the integration of sin3x, and not sin^3 x Why are you going through all that mumbo jumbo for? The integration of sin3x is just -(cos3x)/3 And if you were to find the integration of sin^3 x, it will be easier to use substitution sin^3(x) = (1 -...

    conics algebra struggle.....

    They are just using the formula: sin(p) - sin(q) = 2sin[(p-q)/2] . cos[(p+q)/2] cos(p) - cos(q) = -2sin[(p-q)/2] . sin[(p+q)/2] You can work these formulas out by mucking around with the basic trig identies: e.g. sin (a+b) - sin (a-b) = 2sinbcosa Let a+b=p Let a-b =q b = (p-q)/2 a =...

    Integration of sin3x

    Thx for this, but this is common practise :) And i dont think you mean the integration of sin3x, but rather the integration of a trig function that is powered to a certain degree...

    Polynomial Question!

    You couldve have also factorised that equation 2x^3 - x^2 - 6x +3 x^2(2x - 1) - 3(2x - 1) (2x - 1)(x^2 - 3) Factor R: -1, 1, -3, 3 Factor S: 1, 2 1/2 is a possible solution...

    Integration is the worst topic

    Let x = 2sec@ dx = 2sec@tan@d@ I =∫(4sec^2 @ - 4)^1/2 . 2sec@tan@d@ 2sec@ =∫2tan@ . tan@ = 2∫sec^2 @ - 1 = 2[tan@ - @] + c Put it back in terms of x, then ur done...

    Fitzpatrick 32C

    From my experience, the most important things to keep note of: 1) Always draw diagrams 2) PS=ePM...i dont know how many times i've missed this, which makes my working out very long 3) Sum and product of roots, often used for the locus of some point

    Integration Problem

    Does that actually work?? Because i tried letting e^x = sinu, e^x dx = cosudu I got up to: I= -∫secu du = -ln (secu + tanu) + c Then i got stuck...

    Integration Problem

    hehe forgot that u^2 - 1 can be factorised Will you also be able to use the formula 1/2a. (ln |(a+x)/(a-x)|) When integrating 1/(a^2 - x^2)
