Express '6cos(2x) +sin(x)' in terms of sin(x).

6cos(2x) +sin(x).Using the double angle formula for cosine (or otherwise), cos(2x) = cos(x)cos(x) - sin(x)sin(x) .cos(2x) = cos^2(x) - sin^2(x) .Hence, 6cos(2x) +sin(x) = 6(cos^2(x) - sin...

Find the x and y coordinates of the turning points of the curve 'y = x^3 - 3x^2 +4'. Identify each turning point as either a maximum or a minimum.

The first part of the problem is solved by differentiating once and equating this to zero:
y = x^3 - 3x^2 +4 .dy/dx = 3x^2 - 6x .dy/dx = x(3x - 6...

What are the most important trig identities we need to know?

cos^2(A) + sin^2(A) = 1, sin(A+B) = sinAcosB + cosAsinB, cos(A+B) = cosAcosB - sinAsinB, sin2A = 2sinAcosA (if A = B), cos2A = cos^2(A) - sin^2(A) (if A = B), cos2A = 1 - 2sin^2(A) => sin^2(A) = 1/2(1 ...

Solve the differential equation dy/dx = 6xy^2 given that y=1 when x=2.

This equation can be solved using separation of variables. Firstly we rearrange the equation so that all of the y's are on the left hand side and all of the x's are on the right: 1/y2* dy = 6x ...
