Rearrange to x^2 = -16 + 30i
Let x = a + ib, expand LHS and equate real & imaginary terms/coefficients.
Simultaneous equations to get values for a and b

Re: MX2 Integration Marathon
He added the definite integrals of xcot(x) and (\pi/2 -x)tan(x) together.
As they're both the same, it becomes 2I = etc.
He then put them both under the same denominator and multiplied numerator and denominator by 2.
lol i know its frowned upon by teachers, but i don't know whether it's against the rules.
btw, i didn't imply that it is your related text. i highly doubt you'll be studying it under belonging. you get to choose your own related texts
Re: MX2 Integration Marathon
should be making your own thread.
use the change sinx - cosx in to the form of Rsin(x - alpha), or you can use t substitution
