How do I solve the equation "2cos(x) = sin(2x), for 0 ≤ x ≤ 3π"?

The key to solving this equation is realizing that sin(2x) can be written in terms of sin(x) and cos(x) using a double-angle formula. (With trigonometric problems similar to this one, you...

How do you calculate the probability P(X < x) for a normally distributed random variable X?

If the details of the distribution - its mean and standard deviation are known, the following transformation applies Z = (X - mean) / stdev where Z is now a random variable distributed as normal(0, 1). No...

Solve the equation log(1-x) - log(x) = 1 where log() is the logarithmic function, base 10.

From the rules of logarithms, we know that:

log(A) - log(B) = log(A/B)

and thus:

log(1-x) - log(x) = log[(1-x)/x]

...
