Solve to find sin x , 4cos^2 + 7sin x -7 =0

4cos2 x + 7 sinx - 7 =0 we know that sin+ cos2 = 1 so 4(1-sin2x) + 7sinx -7 = 0 if we times out the brackets -4sin2x + 7 sinx -3 =0 4sin2x -7sinx +3 =0 (4sinx-1)(sinx +2)=0 so therefore sinx =1/4 or -2 however we know sinx cannot be less than -1 so answer is only 1/4

What's the best strategy when approaching a maths problem?


Use the substitution u=4x-1 to find the exact value of 1/4<int<1/2 ((5-2x)(4x-1)^1/3)dx


Use integration by parts to find the integral of x sin(3x)


Using the substitution of u=6x+5 find the value of the area under the curve f(x)=(2x-3)(6x+%)^1/2 bounded between x=1 and x=1/2 to 4 decimal places.
