Ahh these answers take too long to type up :(
(secx)^2 = sec^2x
.:V=pi Fpi/3-0 (sec^2x) dx
.: V=pi(tanx)pi/3-o
.:V=pi(root3-0)
.:V=piroot3 units cubed.

Differentiate cosx/x

f'(x)=3x^2-2

f(x)=x^3-2x+C

Sub in point (1,3)

3=1-2+C therefore C=4

f(x)=x^3-2x+4



Question: Factorise x^4-1

d/dx[(1+sinx)^5]=5(1+sinx)^4 x(cosx)

=5cosx(1+sinx)^4

Question(Harder 2u):

Using the fact that: (a-b)^2>=0 where a>b

show that a^2+b^2+c^2>= ab+ac+cb
if

(a-b)2≥0 (1)

then similarly

(b-c)2≥0 (2)

(a-c)2≥0 (3)

=> (1)+(2)+(3)

(a-b)2+(b-c)2+(a-c)2≥0

expanding

a2-2ab+b2+b2-2bc+c2+a2-2ac+c2
= 2(a2+b2+c2)-2(ab+bc+ac)
≥ 0

.'. a2+b2+c2≥ab+bc+ac

Are u sure?

y=3x^2-2
inverse:
x=3y^2-2
x+2=3y^2
3y=squareroot(x+2)
y=squareroot(x+2)/3
??????

OH FUCK! derivative not inverse!!!!
