AboutScotto Expertise Any kind of mathematics (calculus, analysis, game theory, linear approximation, finite differences, linear regression, linear programming, numerical analysis, probability, statistics, etc.).
I also have answered some questions in
Physics (mass, momentum, falling bodies),
Chemistry (charge, reactions, symbols, molecules), and
Biology.
Experience Experience in the area: I have tutored students in all areas of mathematics for over 20 years.
Education/Credentials: BSand MS in Mathematics from Oregon State University, where I completed sophomore course in Physics and Chemistry. I received both degrees with high honors.
Awards and Honors: I have passed Actuarial tests 100, 110, and 135.
Publications Maybe not a publication, but I have respond to well oveer 3000 questions on the PC.
That's around 2,000 in basic math and 1,000 in advanced math.
Education/Credentials I aquired well over 40 hours of upper division courses. This was well over the number that were required.
I graduated with honors in both my BS and MS degree from Oregon State University.
I was allowed to jump into a few junior level courses my sophomore year.
Awards and Honors I have been nominated as the expert of the month several times.
All of my scores right now are at least a 9.8 average (out of 10).
Past/Present Clients My past clients have been students at OSU, students at the college in South Seattle,
referals from a company, friends and aquantenances, people from my church, and people like you.
Answer One way would be to say that sin(5ln(x))=sin(ln(x)^5).
--------------------------------------------------------------
Another way would be to use the trig formula
sin(A+B)=sin(A)cos(B) + cos(A)sin(B)
with A=3L, B=2L (where L = ln(x)).
Use it again with A=2L, B=L on the terms with a 3L in them and note that cos(3L)=cos(2L)cos(L) - sin(2L)sin(L),
sin(3L)=sin(2L)cos(L)+sin(L)cos(2L).
Now use the formulas sin(2A)=2sin(A)cos(A) and cos(2A)=2cos^2(A)-1 to get rid of the terms with a 2A in them.
Combine all the terms together and note that all of them have a ln(x) in them as L.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Then again, maybe we could ask what, 'What is the variable to which that equation is suppose to be simplified?'
