Homework Statement



I've done 1-3 and 10-20, but these give me an extreme headache. Assume I know everything there is to know about integration and the trigonometric and hyperbolic functions.

Change the following into variables with x with...

4. (1/4) * sin(z) - (1/12) * sin^3(z) after having substituted with x+1 = 2tan(z);

5. -coth(z) after having substituted with x+1 = sinh(z);

6. (3/16) * sinh(2z)+(1/8)z after having substituted with x = cosh(z);

7. z - coth(z) after having substituted with x = sinh(z);

8. -(4/3) * cos^3(z) after having substituted with x+1 = 2sin(z);

9. tan(z) after having substituted with x - 1 = sin(z).

2.

Homework Equations



Everything about integration and the hyperbolic and trigonometric functions.

The Attempt at a Solution



I experimented with the double angle rules, dividing by cos^2(z)+sin^2(z), and pretty much everything else. If you could just show me the answer to one of those, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Can you write sin(z) in terms of tan(z)?
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
