my god lolokay.=ax^2+bx+c\\ f[f(x)] = a[f(x)]^2 + b[f(x)] + c \equiv [f(x)]^2\\ $equating coefficients gives a=1, b,c=0$\\ \therefore f(x)=x^2)
i was hearing about your answer from gurms.
we are both in definite belief you're our current era mathematician version of einstein.

Oh I am so god damn annoyed. I had the solution and then I clicked copy to document on latex without pressing quick reply. Fuck me sideways.
yeah, i agree.

 \,\, Prove \,\, that \cos\theta_{k}=\frac{1}{2}(z_{k}+\frac{1}{z_{k}}) \,\, and \,\, \cos2\theta_{k}=\frac{1}{2}(z_{k}^{2}+\frac{1}{z_{k}^{2}}). \,\, Hence \,\, or \,\, otherwise, \,\, prove \,\, that \,\, \cos2\theta_{1}+\cos2\theta_{2}+\cos2\theta_{3}=4\cos\theta_{1}\cos\theta_{2}\cos\theta_{3}-1)
[maths]RHS=4\cos\theta_1\cos\theta_2\cos\theta_3-1\\=4(\frac{1}{2})^3(z_1+\frac{1}{z_1})(z_2+\frac{1}{z_2})(z_3+\frac{1}{z_3})-1\\=\frac{1}{2}(z_1z_2z_3+\frac{1}{z_1z_2z_3}+\frac{z_1z_2}{z_3}+\frac{z_1z_3}{z_2}+\frac{z_2z_3}{z_1}+\frac{z_1}{z_2z_3}+\frac{z_2}{z_1z_3}+\frac{z_3}{z_1z_2})-1\\=\frac{1}{2}(1+1+\frac{1}{z_3^2}+\frac{1}{z_2^2}+\frac{1}{z_1^2}+z_1^2+z_2^2+z_3^2-2)\\=\frac{1}{2}(z_1^2+\frac{1}{z_1^2})+\frac{1}{2}(z_2^2+\frac{1}{z_2^2})+\frac{1}{2}(z_3^2+\frac{1}{z_3^2})\\=\cos2\theta_1+\cos2\theta_2+\cos2\theta_3\\=LHS[/maths]

Well done, nice method. More aesthetically pleasing to go from LHS to RHS xD
New Question:
The region bounded by the curve y=1/[(2x+1)(x+1)], the coordinate axis and the line x=4 is rotated through one revolution about the y axis. Use the method of cyclindrical shells to find volume of solid generated.

Now I hope this is right. I'm really tired, so there is a good chance I missed something.
(x+1)} \\ \text{Hence, the sum of the volumes of each cylinder gives the volume of the solid, as the value of } \delta x \to 0 \\ \therefore V = \lim_{\delta x \to 0}\sum_{0}^{4}\frac{2\pi x \delta x}{(2x+1)(x+1)} \\ = 2\pi\int^4_0 \frac{x \, dx}{(2x+1)(x+1)} \\ = 2\pi \int^4_0 \frac{1}{x+1} - \frac{1}{2x+1} \, dx \\ = 2\pi \left [ln \left |x + 1 \right | - \frac{1}{2}ln \left |2x + 1 \right | \right ]^4_0 \\ = 2\pi \left [ln \left |\frac{x+1}{\sqrt{2x + 1}} \right | \right ]^4_0 \\ = 2\pi \left [ln\left ( \frac{5}{3} \right ) - ln\left ( 1 \right ) \right ] \\ = 2\pi \, ln \left (\frac{5}{3} \right ) \\)
New question:
The tangent to x2 - y2 = c2 meets the lines y = x and y = -x at P and Q respectively. Find the equation of the tangent in cartesian coordinates (i.e NO PARAMETRICS) and hence prove that the area of the triangle OPQ is constant.

for your question, jetblack, you mentioned "find the equation of the tangent".
where is the tangent produced?
did you mean line joining P and Q?
If you did, then:
P is (c/rt2 , c/rt2)
Q is (-c/rt2 , c/rt2)
line joining, PQ, has the equation: y=c/rt2
thus, for the traingle OPQ, you have height= c/rt2 and base = 2 . c/rt2 = c.rt2
finding area=hb/2
=(c/rt2).c.rt2/2
=c^2 / 2
which is a constant.
