Evaluate the integral of cos(x)sin(x)(1+ sin(x))^3 with respect to x.

Substitution of 'u=1+sin(x)' is required.Differentiating this with respect to x gives cos(x)... therefore du=1/cos(x) dxmultiplying that through leaves the integral of sin(x)(1+sin(x))^3 which therefore c...

Evaluate the indefinite integral when the integrand function is tan(x).

To solve this problem we will use a clever substitution to easily integrate and thus obtain the answer.First we can represent tan(x) as its fractional equivalent sin(x)/cos(x), assigning the variable u to...

Using Pythagoras' theorem, show that sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)=1 for all x.

Take a right angled triangle with hypotenuse of length 1, and angle at the bottom of the hypotenuse equal to x. We will let o denote the length of the side opposite the angle, and a denote the length of t...

Given x = 3sin(y/2), find dy/dx in terms of x, simplifying your answer.

The first step is to find dx/dy in terms of y, which when differentiating comes out as 3/2cos(y/2), so dy/dx in terms of y is the reciprocal of this.The next step is to eliminate the y dependent terms, wh...

The gradient of a curve is given by dy/dx = 6sqrt(x) + 2. The curve passes through the point (16, 38). Find the equation of the curve.

dy/dx = 6x1/2 + 2 y = (62/3)x3/2 + 2x + c = 4x3/2 + 2x + c 38 = (4163/2) + (2*16) + c c = 38 - 256 - 32 = -250 y = 4x3/2 + 2x - 250
