A level Maths question - The graph of y=2sin(2x)+1 is rotated 360 degrees about the x-axis to form a solid. Find the volume enclosed by the curve, the co-ordinate axes and the line x=pi/2

First, recall that the formula for finding such a volume is pi times the integral from 0 to pi/2 of y^2 with respect to x. This leads to pi times the integral from 0 to pi/2 of 4sin^2(2x) + 4sin(2x) + 1 (...

Prove the identity: (cos θ + sin θ)/(cosθ-sinθ) ≡ sec 2θ + tan 2θ

First rewrite right hand side in terms of sinθ and cosθ, because those are the terms we'll be dealing with on the left hand side: sec2θ+tan2θ = 1/cos2θ + sin2θ/cos2θ, so RHS = (1+sin2θ)/cos2θNow look at t...

Simplify the following quadratic equation: 3x^2 + 20x - 500 = 0.

x = −b ± √(b2 − 4ac) / 2a
x = −20 ± √(202 − 4(3)(-500)) / 2(3)
x = (3x + 50) (x - 10)

How would I go about solving 3(x-2) = x+7?

First of all, you want to try and get rid of the brackets so the equation is easier to simplify in the next steps. So you multiply the whole bracket by 3. So it is 3x-6 = x+7. Secondly, in order to solve ...
