Answer
The integral ( \int \sin x^2 , dx ) can be approached using integration by substitution or numerical methods, as it does not have a standard elementary form.
Step 2

Answer
First, identify the slopes of the lines. The slope of the first line is ( m_1 = 2 ) and the second line is ( m_2 = -3 ). We use the formula for the tangent of the angle ( \theta ) between two lines:
[ \tan \theta = \left| \frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1 m_2} \right|. ]
Substituting the values:
[ \tan \theta = \left| \frac{2 - (-3)}{1 + 2(-3)} \right| =\left| \frac{5}{-5} \right| = 1. ]
Thus, ( \theta = 45^{\circ} ).

Answer
First, rearranging gives us:
[ 4 \geq x + 3 ]
This simplifies to:
[ x \leq 1 ]
Next, consider the domain where ( x + 3 > 0 ), which gives ( x > -3 ).
Thus, the solution set is:
[ -3 < x \leq 1. ]

Answer
To express this in the desired form, we first identify ( A = \sqrt{5^2 + (-12)^2} = 13 ) and use the identity:
[ A \cos(x + \alpha) = A \left( \cos x \cos \alpha - \sin x \sin \alpha \right). ]
We identify ( \cos \alpha = \frac{5}{13} ) and ( \sin \alpha = \frac{-12}{13} ).
Thus, ( \alpha = \tan^{-1}\left(-\frac{12}{5}\right) ) within the specified range.

Answer
Using the substitution ( u = 2x - 1 ), we have ( du = 2 , dx ) or ( dx = \frac{du}{2} ).
The limits change as follows:
When ( x = 1 ), ( u = 1).
When ( x = 2 ), ( u = 3).
Thus, the integral transforms to:
[ \int_{1}^{3} \frac{2}{u^3} \cdot \frac{du}{2} = \int_{1}^{3} \frac{1}{u^3} , du = \left[-\frac{1}{2u^2}\right]_{1}^{3}. ]
Evaluating gives:
[ -\frac{1}{2(3^2)} + \frac{1}{2(1^2)} = -\frac{1}{18} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{8}{18} = \frac{4}{9}. ]

Answer
Since ( A(3) = 0 ), we calculate ( P(3) ):
[ P(3) = 3^3 - k(3^2) + 5(3) + 12 = 27 - 9k + 15 + 12 = 54 - 9k. ]
For ( P(3) = 0 ):
[ 54 - 9k = 0 ]
This implies ( 9k = 54 ) so ( k = 6. ]

Answer
Substituting ( k = 6 ), we have:
[ P(x) = x^3 - 6x^2 + 5x + 12. ]
Using synthetic division for ( A(x) = x - 3 ) confirms that 3 is a root.
Now factor ( P(x) ) as:
[ P(x) = (x - 3)(x^2 - 3x - 4). ]
Solving ( x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0 ) gives:
[ x = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{(-3)^2 - 4(1)(-4)}}{2(1)} = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{25}}{2} = \frac{3 \pm 5}{2}. ]
Thus, the roots are ( x = 4 ) and ( x = -1 ). So, the zeros are ( x = 3, 4, -1. ]
