| Topic | Standard Integrals and Reverse Chain Rule |
| Type | Definite integral with trigonometric functions |
| Difficulty | Moderate -0.3 This is a straightforward definite integration question requiring standard techniques: integrating sin x (basic recall) and applying the reverse chain rule to f(x). With 4 marks and limits 0 to π/4, it involves routine substitution and evaluation at standard angles. Slightly easier than average due to the standard nature of both components and the common angle values. |
| Spec | 1.05k Further identities: sec^2=1+tan^2 and cosec^2=1+cot^21.08c Integrate e^(kx), 1/x, sin(kx), cos(kx) |
