$sin x = \frac{4}{5}$ and $cos y = \frac{12}{13}$

x is obtuse i.e sin x = + ve while cos x = + ve

$cos x=\frac{3}{5}==>cos x=-\frac {3}{5}(obtuse)$

$sin y= \frac{5}{13}$

$sin (x-y) = sin x$ $cos y - cos x$ $sin y$

$sin(x-y) = \frac{4}{5}\times\frac{12}{13}-(-\frac{3}{5})\times\frac{5}{13}$

$sin(x-y) = \frac{48}{65}-(-\frac{3}{13})$

$\therefore sin (x-y) = \frac{48}{65} + \frac{3}{13} = \frac{63}{65}$

$\int^1_0 x(x^2-2)^2 dx$

$(x^2-2)^2=x^4-2x^2-2x^2+4$

=$x^4-4x^2+4$

$x(x^2-2)^2=x(x^4-4x^2+4)$

=$x^5-4x^3+4x$

$\int^1_0 x(x^2-2)^2 dx = \int^1_0 x^5 - 4x^3 + 4x dx$

=$(\frac{x^6}{6} - x^4+2x^2)^1_0$

= $(\frac{(1)^6}{6} - (1)^4 +2(1)^2)-(\frac{(0)^6}{6} - (0)^4+2(0)^2)$

=$\frac{7}{6} - 0 =\frac{7}{6}$

$\therefore 1\frac{1}{6}$

$S = 5t^3 - \frac{19}{2} t^2 + 6t - 4$

$v(t)=\frac{dS}{dt}=15t^2-19t+6$

$a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}=30t-19$

∴a(2)=30(2)-19=60-19=41 $ms ^{-2}$

y = $3x^2 + 2$

$y^1 = \frac{dy}{dx} = 6x$

Evaluating this derivative at x = 1 (since the point of interest is (1, 5)) gives us the slope of the tangent line at that point:
$^mtangent = y^1(1) = 6 (1) = 6$
Slope of the Normal Line $^mnorma l= - \frac{1}{^mtangent}$

$^mnormal = - \frac{1}{6}$

$y−y_1​= ^mnormal⋅(x−x_1)$

=y-5=-$\frac{1}{6}(x-1)$

=y-5=-$\frac{1}{6}x+\frac{1}{6}$

=y=-$\frac{1}{6}x+\frac{1}{6}+5$

Multiply through by 6

=6y=-x+1+30

∴6y+ x - 31=0

Using the dot product:

a.b = |a||b|cos θ

a.b = 5(-2) + 12(3) = -10 + 36 = 26

|a| = √(52 + 122) = √(25 + 144)

|a| = √169 = 13

|b| = $√((-2)^2 + 3^2)$ = √(4 + 9)

|b| = √13

= 26 = 13√13 x cos θ

= $\frac{26}{13\sqrt13}$ = cos θ

=$\frac{2}{\sqrt13}$ = cos θ

= θ = $cos^{-1} (\frac{2}{\sqrt13})$

∴ θ = 56.3º
