    Integration reduction formula

    The reverse chain rule is integration by substitution, without actually doing the substitution, if that made any sense... lol

    Integration reduction formula

    tan<sup>n-2</sup>x.sec<sup>2</sup>xdx = tan<sup>n-1</sup>x/(n-1) The derivative of tan x is sec<sup>2</sup>x, so if you use substitution of u= tan x, u get du = sec<sup>2</sup>xdx Then you are just integrating a power function of un-2 Hence, you get that result. It's the identical result for...

    Recursion Formula

    cot(pi/2) = 0, as limit of tan(x) as x approaches pi/2 is +infinity

    Some four unit question

    Haha, there's like a million different definitions for e.

    Rectangular Hyperbola (mechanics)

    LOL... Guess you'll have to read the textbook by yourself.

    Recursion Formula

    The same relation will still apply. You pull out a [cosec(x)]^2, so you'll be left with [cosec(x)]^(n-2) * d (cot(x)) Then integration by parts will solve all :)

    4U Graphing question

    Rearrange the equation so y's are all on one side. x3 = -y3 + 3xy Then divide everything by x3 So: 1 = (-y3 + 3xy)/x3 = -(y/x)3 + 3y/x2 Then take the limits of x going to infinity. The 2nd term will become insignificant, so -(y/x)3 will tend to 1 as x tends to infinity. Hence, y = -x

    Some four unit question

    No worries, it's all good :)

    4U Graphing question

    You find you horizontal tangents and your vertical tangents. Then you mark those points in. Then, find your x and y intercepts, which should just be (0,0) Then, you find out what happens when x -> negative infinite. And the same for when x -> positive infinite. once you have these points...

    Beat me to it :P

    Some four unit question

    For part a, compare the areas under the graph. The upper rectangle (1/n) is greater than the actual area (integrate), and this area is greater than the lower rectangle (1/(n+1)) For part b, use the inequalities from part a. Using just the inequality on the LHS: We have 1/(n+1) < ln (1 + 1/n)...

    Recursion Formula

    [cosec(x)]^2 dx = - d (cot(x)) Using that relationship, you can form your recursion formula, with integration by parts. Hope this helps.

    Help with inverse function

    Sorry, I'm not capable of doing individual tutoring for any uni courses yet. Maybe wait one or two years :P. I'm assuming you are doing MATH1151 this semester. I take a support class for this course on Tuesdays 10-11 every week. Feel free to come along. The other support classes, I think are on...
