Worked solution
1(i)
1. Apply the chain rule to differentiate the function
Let .
Using the chain rule, we differentiate the outer trigonometric function and multiply it by the derivative of the inner polynomial:
1(ii)
1. State the derivative from part (i) to identify parts for integration.
From part (i), we have .
We split the integrand to prepare for integration by parts:
2. Apply integration by parts using the identified components.
Let
Let
Using the integration by parts formula :
3. Integrate the remaining term using the standard result for $\int \frac{\mathrm{f}'(x)}{\mathrm{f}(x)} \, dx$.
Recognising that the numerator is closely related to the derivative of the denominator (since ):
