    integration by substitution

    Consider the integral of sin(2x+1). I note the normal method would be to let u=2x+1(if you are asked to use substitution). But can someone explain the following method: integral (sin(2x+1)dx)=integral(sin(2x+1) d(2x+1)/2)?

    question from terry lee volume

    Was reading volumes by terry lee and it was a trapezoidal solid/frustum and we had to find the volume using similar solids. Mr Lee's answer claimed that the height (h) of the solid is linearly dependent to x which measures the length of the typical slice/cross-section. Is this valid? i mean we...

    Indices and Logarithms

    hi, is it safe to assume index laws and logarithmic laws only apply(apply without need to confirm other things...) for positive bases? E.g. for equations like log(base x) 4=2, we only get the answer of 2 and not negative 2 right?

    De Moivre's theorem

    I'm confused...MUST you use induction to prove De Moivre's theorem(by the way how do you prove De moivre's theorem for negative integers?)? I mean, isnt zw=r_1 r_2 cis(theta_1+theta_2)? then isnt it obvious that z^n=(r^n)cis(n theta)? so why induction?
