Find the integral of (sinxcos^2x) dx

To find the Integral of (sinxcos^2x) dx, we must first use our knowledge of integration and differentiation of simple trigonometric functions. Such as Sinx and Cosx. Combined with our knowledge of integrating functions of functions such (1+x)^2 or (sinx)^2. By working backwards and thinking about what we would have to differentiate to get close to sinxcos^2x. We can determine that cos^3x would give us -3sinxcos^2x. Thus the integral of (sinxcos^2x) dx is -1/3cos^3x.

How do I prove that an irrational number is indeed irrational?


f(x) = 2 / (x^2 + 2). Find g, the inverse of f.


By using partial fractions, integrate the function: f(x) = (4-2x)/(2x+1)(x+1)(x+3)


Simplify: (log(40) - log(20)) + log(3)
