fr finding eq. we need to integrate dy/dx so we can get y in terms of x

now fr integrating a fraction of this type we use this formula ............ ( ax + b)^n


(ax + b)^n+1/ (n+1(a)) :) this is the formula we have to use in this qstn


3(1+2x)^-2+1/(-2+1)(2)

3(1+2x)^-1 /(-2) +c this c is the integration constant U always have to put it when ever U integrate any expresion(y)
3/2(1+2x) +c = y now jxt substitute the value of x and y given in question and find c hope cleaR????

hey friend.. can u pls solve Q.4 (ii) for me.. ?? And if possible do explain me in detail .. :)

Anyone who can solve Q4 (ii) ??
http://www.xtremepapers.com/papers/CIE/Cambridge International A and AS Level/Mathematics (9709)/9709_s10_qp_32.pdf
Q4(ii) The iterative formula
x(n+1) = tan−1[x(n)] + π
can be used to determine the x-coordinate of M. Use this formula to determine the x-coordinate
of M correct to 2 decimal places. Give the result of each iteration to 4 decimal places. [3]

Find x0 by => π + 2π/2 as from the diagram u can see root is between π and 2π.
then put the value in the given iterative formula and continue until u get the right value.Hope that helped !

To be frank I tried that way as well, but couldn't get the answer.. so if u don't mind can u pls explain me in detail ??
From x0, you will get x1 - from x1 you'll get x2 and so on. Keep doing that until you get the answer to 4 decimal places correctly.

But the root is not exactly in between.. so how can u use that method ??

Hey I know how to use the iteration method.. but I m stuck in the initial part where u have to find X0 .. I am not getting the correct value of x0 because of which I am not able to do it further :(

The Xo is the initial value, very close to the answer. This can be any close value. That is why you may use either pi or 2pi to get the answer.
