Answer
To determine the integral, we utilize the formula for the integral of the form ( \int \frac{dx}{a^2 + x^2} = \frac{1}{a} \tan^{-1}(\frac{x}{a}) + C ). Here, ( a^2 = 49 ) implies ( a = 7 ). Thus,
∫49+x2dx=71tan−1(7x)+C.

Answer
Here, the integral implies:
∫x12dx=12∫xdx=12⋅2x2+C=212x2+C.

Answer
Using L'Hôpital's Rule, we take the derivative of the numerator and denominator:
x→0lim3xsin5x=x→0lim35cos5x=35(1)=35.

Answer
The sum of cubes can be simplified using:
sinθ+cosθsin3θ+cos3θ=sin2θ+cos2θ=1.
Thus,
1−1=0.

Answer
To find the tangent condition, set the equations equal:
12x+b=x3.
Taking derivatives,
For the y-coordinates,
At ( x = 2 ): ( y = 12(2) + b = 2^3 = 8 \Rightarrow 24 + b = 8 \Rightarrow b = -16.)
At ( x = -2 ): ( y = 12(-2) + b = (-2)^3 = -8 \Rightarrow -24 + b = -8 \Rightarrow b = 16.)
