Where does Euler's Formula come from?
Euler's Formula is: eix = cos(x) + isin(x)
This identity comes from the Maclaurin expansion of the exponential function. The resulting maclaurin series is a power series in x with odd terms having a factor of i. Seperating the odd and even terms, the odd terms give isin(x) and the even terms give cos(x).

Solve the inequality x/(x+2) ≤ 4/(x-3) for x ≠ -2 or 3
Express (X²-16)/(X-1)(X+3) in partial fractions
a) Show that d/dx(arcsin x) = 1/(√ (1-x²)). b) Hence, use a suitable trigonometric substitution to find ∫ (1/(√ (4-2x-x²))) dx.
