    integration by substitution question

    Brilliant. But how did you know to divide the denominator like that because it is not reducible. (1st line I mean)

    integration by substitution question

    Can someone show me where to go next. I've done a question up to here. \frac{1}{2}\int_{0}^{1}\frac{1-t^2}{t^4+t^2+1} I've been using t=tanx/2 and I'm trying to prove for 1/4ln3. If it's impossible from here, please tell me.

    integration by substitution question

    Thanks. I got another one here. I've tried so hard but I can't seem to get the answer which is 7. \int_{3}^{8}\frac{x}{(x+1)-\sqrt{x+1}}dx I've been using the substitution u^2 = x+1

    Inverse stuff

    Show: 2sin^{-1}\frac{3}{5}=sin^{-1}\frac{24}{25} and sin^{-1}\frac{3}{5}+tan^{-1}\frac{7}{24}=cos^{-1}\frac{3}{5} I have no idea where to start in both of them except for drawing triangles.

    Quick Polynomial Question

    Got another question from Cambridge that I'm stuck on. PS. I looked at the solutions, but I still don't get it. I need someone to explain it to me step by step. P(x) is a monic polynomial of degree 4 with integer coefficients and constant term 4. One zero is root2, another zero is rational and...

    Quick Polynomial Question

    I know this may seem like a simple question, but... For P(x)=2x^3-3x^2+2x-3 You are told that it has a rational root. The answer says its 3/2 but how can you do this using the factor theorem?

    Hi. I got a question here is can't seem to solve. Tangents at P(x_1,y_1) and Q(x_2,y_2) from the curve x^2=4ay intersect at M(\frac{2a(y_2-y_1)}{x_2-x_1},\frac{x_1y_2-x_2y_1}{x_2-x_1}) Using x_1^2=4ay_1 \and\ x_2^2=4ay_2, show M is (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{x_1x_2}{4a}) I've got the...

    complex conjugate

    x+iy=(a+ib)^2 |x+iy|=|(a+ib)^2| |x+iy|=|a+ib|^2 \sqrt{x^2+y^2}=a^2+b^2 \therefore x^2+y^2=(a^2+b^2)^2
