Answer: x = 2/5 in fraction form

In decimal form, the answer is x = 0.4

====================================================

Work Shown:

2/3 = two thirds

2/3 + (1/3)x = 2x is the equation you're given

Multiply every term by 3 so that we clear out the fractions

3*(2/3) + 3*(1/3)x = 3*2x

2 + x = 6x

From here, we solve for x

2 + x = 6x

2+x-x = 6x-x .... subtract x from both sides

2 = 5x

5x = 2

5x/5 = 2/5 ... divide both sides by 5

x = 2/5

x = 0.4

Find the trigonometric integral. (Use C for the constant of integration.)

Olin [163]

Suppose we let $u=\sin\theta+\cos\theta$ , so that $\mathrm du=(\cos\theta-\sin\theta)\,\mathrm d\theta$ .

Also, recall the double angle identity for cosine:

$\cos(2\theta)=\cos^2\theta-\sin^2\theta=(\cos\theta-\sin\theta)(\cos\theta+\sin\theta)$

So, we can rewrite and compute the integral using the substitution, as

$\displaystyle\int\cos(2\theta)(\sin\theta+\cos\theta)^3\,\mathrm d\theta$

$=\displaystyle\int u\cdot u^3\,\mathrm du$

$=\displaystyle\int u^4\,\mathrm du$

$=\dfrac{u^5}5+C$

$=\boxed{\dfrac{(\cos\theta+\sin\theta)^5}5+C}$
