AoA,
This is best done using substitution, and not by parts:
View attachment 14035

cos^3 x
= (cos^2 x)(cos x)
= (1-sin^2 x)(cos x)
= cos x - (sin^2 x)(cos x)

after integration,
it become:
= -sin x - (1/3)(sin^3 x) + c

I started the same way - (I didn't know it was called substitution, i had been calling it by-parts) :p

The correct answer, or the one at the back of the book is,
1/3sinx (3cos^2 x + 2sin^2 x)

Anyway, i'm afraid, both of you have got the wrong answers!

1/3sinx (3cos^2 x + 2sin^2 x)

it is the same.....

sin x - (1/3)(sin^3 x)
=(1/3)(sin x)(3-sin^2 x)
=(1/3)(sin x)(3cos^2 x + 3sin^2 x - sin^2 x)
= (1/3)(sin x)(3cos^2 x + 2sin^2 x)

It is not the wrong answer , just that you have got an answer in a different form, both forms are correct!

Hello frens could someone please help me with these
Quest. 1 Complex numbers
Given the complex number, Z= -√(2i) ,find the argument of Z.
ANS : arg(Z)= -π/2

Quest.2 Complex N0.
Given Z= cos π/6 +cos π/3 .Find argument of Z and modulus of Z.
ANS : arg(Z)= π/6 and mdulus of Z = 1

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Question 2:
since Z = cos π/6 + i cos π/3
therefore, arg(Z) = π/6
or you can try to sketch this thing out on cartesian plane.

mod Z
= √ ( cos^2 π/6 + cos^2 π/3 )
= √ ( (√3 / 2)^2 + (1/2)^2 )
= 1

plz someone solve this.
(i) Differentiate the equation and equate the equation to zero, u shall have a value of x which u substitute in y to have the y-coordinate
(ii) Differentiate the equation u got in (i). this is d2y/dx2. Replace the value of x u got in (i) in d2y/dx2. If the value of the latter is negative , the point was negative, else positive.

Hey can u tell me how u upload an image?

can u show me the working. i understand the concept but make errors while solving.

It says to insert a URL, which one do i insert and from where???:coffee:
I just solved it mentally, coz i'm short of time. use ur calculator where appropriate.
the first derivative is dy/dx = 6e^x - 3e^3x
0 = 6e^x - 3e^3x
Let e^x be y
So, u shall get 6y - 3y^3 = 0
Factorise, 3y (2 - y^2) = 0
Solve: y = 0 and y= root of 2
Substitute e^x = 0 and e^x = root of 2
Use ln or logarithms to base 10 to solve for x, i think u can continue now.
Best of luck and have a gr8 day.

Hello amyhiii!!!!!!!1hi how are you???
its e^x=0 which u said it and the other one should be 6-3e^2x=0 when u solve it...............................
and hey @shanki631 its a maximum point on the curve where x=0.427...........................????is it correct?
