i came across this qu that day, and i really want to clarify if the method i used is correct or not.int(tan^2x - x^3)

i changed it to int(sec^2x - 1 - x^3) instead, cos i don’t think we can integrate tan.

is that feasible?

Absolutely. Since tan^2 x can’t be integrated, you must think of alternative by making use of the relationship of tan^2 x + 1 = sec^2 x

hey. i just want to clarify something that i’m not very sure of.

is nCr x r! = nPr ??

By definition,

nCr = nPr/r!

Well, I never remember this ‘rule’
For example, find the number of ways to form a 3 letter word from a,b,c,d,e

Student #1:
5C1*4C1*3C1

Student #2:
5P3

Both answers are correct though different approaches are taken, so no need to remember the ‘rule’
