in the end use cosine rule to find Z modulus :)

The shaded diagram is the same as in the picture (shade below the half line and circle) . But I think the key issue is to find the greatest length of modulus of z which might cause issues.
By inspection the greatest length of modulus of z is clearly the point labelled L. We need to find the coordinates of the poinbt labelled L. I used the fact that the half line passes through the center of the circle. And drew a triangle with angle 45 and hypotenuse of length 2 (the radius of the circle). From this triangle I found the x coordinate of point L as 2cos45 and y coordinate as (2 + 2sin45). And next u just find the length of mod of z.

use cosec2θ = 1/2*(cotθ + tanθ). And find instead the integral of 1/2*(cotθ + tanθ) from pie/3 to pie/6.

Write cotθ as 1/tanθ. So 1/2*(cotθ + tanθ)= 1/2*(1/tanθ + tanθ)= ((tanθ)^2 +1)/2tanθ.

Use the identity (tanθ)^2 +1 = (secθ)^2. So ((tanθ)^2 +1)/2tanθ becomes (secθ)^2/ 2tanθ.

Now you could integrate this expression easily as the derivative of tanθ= (secθ)^2 (something u should know).

So the integral of the expression (secθ)^2/2tanθ =1/2* ln|tanθ| from pie/3 to pie/6. Which become 1/2*(ln|√3| - ln|1/√3|) . Using the fact that ln|x| - ln |y| =ln |x/y|. you would get the answer as 1/2ln |√3|

hi guys i have a problem with vectors. When we calculate the angle between a line and a plane we use ( sin) not cos but sometimes i get negative answer and i don't' know how to solve this problem the marking scheme usually has the same answer but positive. please help

when u have to find the angle between line and plane u do use cos and the answer u obtain from cos^-1 is subtracted from 90.
