Q1 is a joke -- most of the time, but often you might get some harder integration in Q4/5...
yes the harder integration is usually reduction formula or the f(a-x) = f(x) stuff. if u get reduction formula in later questions you should be pretty happy, they are just proofs most of the time.

Need help with another question:

INTEGRATE [(cosx)/(4+5cosx)]

I tried using t-formula, and ended up with having to integrate (1-t^2)/[(9-t^2)(1+t^2)] --> and I really don't want to use partial fractions...


Anyone see a faster method to integrate this?

As always, help is immensely appreciated

i tried other methods but they all seem to come to partial fractions. u hav to use partial fractions. if u think this is bad wait until you do resisted motion...

Pierre - I like the way you are always a few steps ahead of the BOS police mutating like an virus and leaving a trail of destruction and mayhem!

I think Mr Goodwin is alluding to complex analysis methods... which wouldn't even work for the above questions since there are no limits in the integral.

Soon there will be history in maths. History means essays. Essays means english, which then means every subject. Therefore Maths will soon then be/have everything
