ill post the final answer

it goes something like this


-root of b / b root of a tan^-1 u root of b / root of a } 1 and -1

those 1 and -1 are my limits

tke of b from cos then use u=cosx then, change into tan^-1 intergal thing.. then simplify... soo whats the answer

you just sub in x= pi/2 -x into x

then prove its an odd function then its = 0 xD

remember to sub back your u. also limits can be changed to 1, 0 even function. dont have an answer, but youre doing it right
Do you have to revert u back to cos x? I just changed the limits.

Heres my working -

PS. ignore the "a1"² bit, that was just a mistake for a when doing 1/a²+x² integrals.

Volumes question:
The top face of a container is a rectangle of sides 3m and 4m respectively.
The bottom is a rectangle of sides 2m and 3m respectively.
(i.e. side of TOP 4m // BOT 3m and side of TOP 3m // BOT 2m)

If the height of the container is 1.5 m, find the volume of this container by slicing.

-pi/4

pi/4

| 2 (sec x)^2 dx

0
1/(1+sinx) = (1-sinx)/cos2x = sec2x - secxtanx

I = [-pi/4 --> pi/4]∫sec2xdx - [-pi/4 --> pi/4]∫secxtanxdx

Second integral is odd, therefore = 0. And the first integral is even:

I = [0 --> pi/4]∫2sec2xdx

Next Question:

Find:

[0 --> pi/2] ∫sinnxdx/(sinnx + cosnx)

Not very hard, but interesting nonetheless.

Yeah pretty nice question. It looks tricky at a glance though.

Sorry to ask this but are we supposed to remember that rule for x and (a-x)? I've seen many questions but they always, kind of, giving hints by asking us to proof it first.

Q: Find the volume obtained by rotating the region enclosed by the circle

(x-b)^2 + y^2 = a^2

Where b>a, about the y-axis

If you have the Cambridge solution, don't look at it!

Only takes 3-4 lines max to prove, I'd say prove it once and then you can use it as much as you want.

Currently unsolved:

Question 10
A solid figure has as its base, in the xy plane, the ellipse x2/16 + y2/4 = 1

Cross sections perpendicular to the x-axis are parabolas with latus rectums in the xy plane. Find the volume of the solid
Im currently working on this question. Havent figured it out yet. It looks pretty hard cause i think we have to find the area bounded the the parabola and its latus rectum. Anyway, give it a try.

3units my answer to that intgeral quesiton was correct. who cares if he put it back in terms of cos(x) i left it in terms of u with the limits..

it still makes my answer correct... next question..

i haven't done volumes, i just started it today, looks not bad xD

post some more integration quesiton...

Alternative method:

Let f(x) = 1 / (1 + sin x)
f(-x) = 1 / (1 - sin x) [note: sin -x = -sin x]

Therefore the integral would equal to:

/ pi/4
|
| [1 / (1 + sin x)] + [1 / (1 - sin x)] dx
|
/ 0

=

/ pi/4
| 2
| ------------ dx
| 1 - sin2 x
/ 0

=

/ pi/4
| 2
| ------------ dx
| cos2 x
/ 0

=

/ pi/4
|
| 2 sec2 x dx
|
/ 0

find what f'(x) is equal to, if the function f is defined on all reals greater or equal to 0, and:

f (x) =

x^2

0



Show that the roots of z6 + z3 + 1 = 0 are among the roots of z9 - 1 = 0. Hence find the roots of z6 + z3 + 1 = 0 in modulus/argument form
