Integrate tan(x)^2 with respect to x

sin(x)2 + cos(x)2 = 1 divide by cos(x)2 tan(x)2 + 1 = sec(x)2 therefore tan(x)2 = sec(x)2 - 1 integral of sec(x)2 - 1 rwt x = tan(x) - x + C therefore the integral of tan(x)2 rwt x = tan(x) - x + C

Express 4x/(x^2-9) - 2/(x+3) as a single fraction in its simplest form.


The point P lies on a curve with equation: x=(4y-sin2y)^2. (i) Given P has coordinates (x, pi/2) find x. (ii) The tangent to the curve at P cuts the y-axis at the point A. Use calculus to find the coordinates of the point A.
