Can you guys differentiate with respect to x ..
Q=
Sinx + Cosx

Sinx - Coxs

the answer is supposed to be 2 / Sin2x - 1

s=sinx and c=cosx
using quotient rule :
u =s+c
du= c-s
v=s-c
dv=c+s

dy/dx = (vdu- udv) / v^2
=[(s-c)(c-s) - (s+c)(c+s)] / (s-c)^2

expand brackets
=[ (sc -s^2 - c^2 + sc) - (sc + s^2 + c^2 + cs) ] / (s-c) ^2

=(- 2s^2 -2c^2) / (s^2 +2sc+ c^2)
= 2/ 2sc+1
=2/sin2x +1

Hello everyone, i just need a doubt cleared right away. My syllabus does not say anything about cross-product but it seems easy to use it when answering the vector problems. So i was worrying about whether cambridge allocates marks for when we use it because it's not in my syllabus? Also, can anyone give me a summary on complex numbers, please?

need some help with differiential equations
cross multiply
2c^2 theta dx = 1 / 2c^2 theta
integrate on both side
(2x+1)^0.5 + c =0.5 tan theta

replace x=0 and theta =0.25 pi
u get c = -0.5
[ (2x+1) ^0.5 ] - 0.5 = 0.5 tan theta
(2x+1)^0.5= 0.5 tan theta + 0.5
= 0.5(tan theta +1)
(2x+1)= 0.25 (tan theta +1) ^2
x= 0.125 [ (tan theta +1)^2 ] - 0.5

do we need to use compass while drawing a circle in argand diagram..or just free hand??..please infrom kindly..im confused.
