integrate (4cos^4 x -4cos^2x+1)^1/2

we must integrate (4cos4 x-4cos2 x+1)1/2 factorise first ((2cos2x-1)2)1/2this becomes (2cos2x-1)which equals cos 2xthe integral of cos 2x is1/2 sin 2x + C

Give the first and second derivative of the function f(x) = 5/x - 9x + 4


I'm supposed to calculate the differential of f(x)= sin(x)*ln(x)*(x-4)^2 using the product rule. I know what the product rule is but I can't split this into two bits that are easy to differentiate. How do I do it?


A curve has equation x = (y+5)ln(2y-7); (i) Find dx/dy in terms of y; (ii) Find the gradient of the curve where it crosses the y-axis.


Find the set of values for which: x^2 - 3x - 18 > 0
