    Is it just me or is this question incorrect?

    ye... i get what ur saying, but the answer or proof to this question involves an incorrect statement, namely sec(theta) > 1; Do you think i should just go with the flow and write this down for my assingment???

    Integration Questions

    1. a) using partial fractions: integral from 1 to 0 (5/(2t + 1)(2 - t) dt = integral from 1 to 0 [(2 / 2t + 1) + (1/2 - t)] dt = [ln(2t + 1) - ln(2 - t)] = ln6 b)let t = tan a/2 therefore da = (2/(1 + t^2)) dt when a = pi/2 t = 1 when a = 0 t = 0 therefore: = integral from one to...
