We know that:
\tan(\theta) = \frac{50}{s}
\secˆ2(\theta) \cdot \frac{d\theta}{d\theta} = -\frac{50}{sˆ2} \cdot
\frac{ds}{d\theta}
\secˆ2(\theta) = -\frac{50}{sˆ2} \cdot \frac{ds}{d\theta} ] At , , and , so ft.
Substituting these values:
2 = -\frac{50}{50ˆ2} \cdot \frac{ds}{d\theta}
2 = -\frac{50}{2500} \cdot \frac{ds}{d\theta} ]
2 = -\frac{1}{50} \cdot \frac{ds}{d\theta}

\log(1 + z) = z - \frac{zˆ2}{2} + \frac{zˆ3}{3} - \dots
\log(1 + \sin x) = \sin x - \frac{(\sin x)ˆ2}{2} + \frac{(\sin x)ˆ3}{3} - \dots
\sin x = x - \frac{xˆ3}{3!} + \frac{xˆ5}{5!} - \dots

\sinˆ{n-2} x , dx
Applying this recursively, we can reduce the power step by step until the integral

\int_0ˆ\pi \sinˆ7 x , dx = \frac{16}{35}

Q2(a)(ii): Evaluate
Similarly, using reduction formulas for powers of cosine:
\int \cosˆn x , dx = \frac{\cosˆ{n-1} x \sin x}{n} + \frac{n-1}{n} \int \cosˆ{n-
2} x , dx
The evaluated result is:
\int_0ˆ\pi \cosˆ8 x , dx = \frac{5\pi}{128}

Now the integral becomes:
\int_\inftyˆ0 \frac{eˆ{-u}(-du)}{\sqrt{u}} = \int_0ˆ\infty \frac{eˆ{-
u}}{\sqrt{u}} , du
\Gamma\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = \sqrt{\pi}
