    Slope of Line Intersecting (2,2) & (6,7)

    With the possibility that some school students come in this forum and expect us to spoon feed the answers, here it is. Besides, one of the rules of this forum is that we need to show some effort! So here is my effort!

    Slope of Line Intersecting (2,2) & (6,7)

    If a line intersects both points (2, 2) and (6, 7), determine its slope.

    Order of operations to simplify expressions .

    $$\frac{3(-3)-(5)2^2}{8-\sqrt{36}+12}=\frac{3(-3)-(5)4}{8-6+12}=\frac{-9-20}{8-6+12}=-\frac{29}{14}$$

    -z.61.W8.6 int sin^2(x)cos^2(x) dx

    It could be. If so, what's the next step? What does the sine squared equal to?

    Efficient Method for Extracting Square Root of Complex Expressions

    Does the problem from the book say 4((a² - b²)cd + ab(c² - b²))² + ((a² - b²)(c² - b²) - 4abcd)²?

    Volume of Region Between y=x and y=-x²+2x

    This problem is similar to this. I tried using the theorem of Pappus. Is $$\pi/6$$ incorrect? How did you get your answer?

    -z.61.W8.6 int sin^2(x)cos^2(x) dx

    $$\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{4}\left(\frac{\text{?}}{\text{?}}\right)$$ What Mark is saying here "deal with it in the same way" is applying the simple trig formula for $$\cos^2{2x}$$. WLOG, $$\cos^2{u}=\frac{1+\cos{2u}}{2}$$.

    Efficient Method for Extracting Square Root of Complex Expressions

    Hello, I don't see a square root in the expression. Are you asking us how to factor the expression?

    Volume of Region Between y=x and y=-x²+2x

    The region between y = x & y = -x² + 2x revolves around y = x. Determine the volume.

    What is the 5th term of the expansion of $(2x+7)^8$ using the Binomial Theorem?

    If this was on the exam, some students could multiply 2x + 7 itself 8 times and get the desired result. Hopefully, the student has studied the binomial theorem before the exam!

    Where Does the $\frac{1}{2}$ in Step 3 Come From?

    $$-\int\cos^3{2x}\,dx=-\frac{1}{4}\int\cos{6x}\,dx-\frac{3}{4}\int\cos{2x}\,dx=-\frac{1}{4}(\frac{1}{6})\sin{6x}-\frac{3}{4}(\frac{1}{2})\sin{2x}+C$$ $$\therefore-\int\cos^3{2x}\,dx=-\frac{1}{24}\sin{6x}-\frac{3}{8}\sin{2x}+C$$ This, of course, requires the reader the ability to prove...
