Integrating sin^5(x)cos(x) (in slow logical steps)

Step 1: Make a substitution for u=Sin(x) differentiate that function to show du/dx =Cos(x)Step 2: Rearrange for dx to show dx=1/Cos(x) du and replace the dx in your original integral to show (integral symbol) Sin^5(x)duStep 4: Substitute in your Sin(x)=u to get u^5Step 5: Integrate u^5 to get (u^6)/6 + CStep 6: Substitute your u=Sin(x) back in to get (Sin^6(x))/6 + C

Integrate ln(x)


Do the circles with equations x^2 -2x + y^2 - 2y=7 and x^2 -10x + y^2 -8y=-37 touch and if so, in what way (tangent to each other? two point of intersection?)


Derive the quadratic formula. From it, write down the determinant and explain, how is it related to the roots of a quadratic equation.
