How does the right angle triangle definition of sine, cosine and tangent relate to their graphs as a function of angle and to Euler's formula?

To answer this question we must understand the representation of the unit circle firstly in real coordinates and secondly in the complex plane. The unit circle is just the drawing of a circle of radius 1 ...

Let g (x) = 2x sin x . (a) Find g′(x) . (b) Find the gradient of the graph of g at x = π .

a) f'(x)=uv'+vu' if f(x)= uv

u=2x u'=2 v=sin(x) v'=cos(x)

g'(x)=2x cos(x) +2sin(x)

b) g'(π) = 2π cos(π)+2sin(π) = 2 π (-1) + 2 (0)

g'(π) = -2π

find the inverse function of the following: f(x) = 3x-5

in an inverse function, simply put the x and y are inversed: meaning x becomes y, and y becomes x

f(x): y=3x-5

f-1(x): x=3y-5 <=> x+5=3y <=> (x+5)/3 = y <=>

How do I integrate the volume of revolution between 0 and pi of y=sin(x)?

To integrate the volume of revolution first imagine a thin disk around the x-axis which we want to know the volume of: Volume=area x height. The area of a circle is given by pi r^2 and in our case let us ...
