Find the indefinite integral of f(x)=(1-x^2)/(1+x^2)


Take the polynomial p(x)=x^4+x^3+2x^2+4x-8, use the factor theorem to write p(x) as two linear factors and an irreducible quadratic. An irreducible quadratic is a quadratic that can not be factorised.


f ( x ) = 2 x ^3 − 5 x ^2 + ax + a. Given that (x + 2) is a factor of f ( x ), find the value of the constant a. (3 marker)
