There are two approaches to rationalising a denominator depending on how the denominator appears.
First we deal with the simpler case where the surd term is the only term...
From the addition formula, we know that:
Rcos(x-c) = Rcos(x)sin(c)+Rsin(x)cos(c)
Therefore:
acos(x)+bsin(x) = Rcos(x)cos(c)+Rsin(x)sin(c)
If we e...
If you were to draw a graph of the function, a stationary point would be a point on the graph where the gradient is zero, i.e the graph has no vertical slope. For example consider the function f(x) = 2. T...
To differentiate this, we must use the Chain Rule. This is because we have two functions multiplied by each other: (x) sin(x). We use the substitution u = sin(x)....
The first thing to remember is that the tangent to the curve at a given point has the same gradient as the curve at that point.
Let's consider the general case y=f(x) at a point c=(x1,y1)...
