If 2 log(x + a) = log(16a^6), where a is a positive constant, find x in terms of a

Use the power rule on the right hand side of the equation to reduce the expression into simpler termsRemoves logs (several methods, I would personally halve and then cancel)Factorise to give x=a(4a2<...

Integrate sin^2(x) with respect to x

use trigonometric identities i.e. Cos(2x) = Cos2(x) - Sin2(x) (a) Cos2(x) + Sin2(x) = 1 (b)Therefore: Cos2(x) = 1 - Sin2

Given that 2cos(x+50)°=sin(x+40)° show tan x° = tan 40°/3

The formulae for the sum the sine and cosine of two angles are: 2(cos x°cos 50°- sin x°sin 50°)= sin x°cos 40°+cos x°sin 40°cos 50°= sin 40°sin 50° = cos 40° Therefore, 2 cos x°sin 40°- 2 sin x°cos 40° = ...

Integrate x * sin(x) with respect to x by using integration by parts

The general formula for integration by parts to integrate something of the form u * v' is: u * v - (integral)[ (u' * v) dx ]. Thus we first need to write x * sin(...

write 2(sin^2(x)- cos^2(x)) + 6 sin(x) cos(x) in terms of cos(2x) and sin(2x)

We use the following double angle formulae cos(2x) = cos^2(x) - sin^2 (x) and sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x) to see that 2(sin^2(x)- cos^2(x)) + 6 sin(x) cos(x) = -2-(sin^2(x)+ cos^2(x)) + 3*2 sin(x) cos(x) = -2...
