sin^2(x) = (1 - cos(2x))/2 and cos^2(x) = (1 + cos(2x))/2so sin^4(x) = 0.25(1 - 2cos(2x) + cos^2(2x)) = 0.25(1 - 2cos(2x) + 0.5 + 0.5cos(4x))integrate = 3x/8 - sin(2x)/4 + sin(4x)/32

What you would do in this scenario is consider all the terms in the expression you are integrating. You then want to go through the acronym LATE to choose which term you should differentiate.L stands for ...

Integrating sin^2A and cos^2A is a bit nasty so we can use double angle formula to make it a little simpler. cos2A = cos^2A - sin^2A = 2cos^2A - 1. We can rearrange to get cos^2A in nicer terms. cos^2A = ...

A parametric equation is where both x and y are expressed separately, in terms of a parameter (t). In order to differentiate them we must use the chain rule, which here would be dy/dx= dy/dt ÷ dx/dt. The ...

dy/dx=6cos2x-8sin2xExplanation: cos x difrentiates to -sinx, we must times the coefficient of cos2x,(4) , by the differential of 2x (ie 2), giving -(4x2)sin2x.Similarly, sinx differentiates cosx, so using...
