TopicAddition & Double Angle Formulae
TypeIntegrate using double angle
DifficultyModerate -0.3 This is a straightforward application of the double angle formula cos²θ = (1+cos2θ)/2 to simplify before differentiating and integrating. Part (i) requires chain rule differentiation and evaluating at a specific point. Part (ii) is a standard integration after using the identity. Both parts are routine techniques covered extensively in P3 with no novel problem-solving required, making it slightly easier than average.
