Study the phenomena of resonance for an oscilating system where f(x)=sinx*cos2x

To study the phenomena of resonance, we'll just have to
calculate the indefinite integral of the given
function:f(x)=sinx*cos2x


Int sinx*cos 2x
dx


To calculate the integral, we'll have to transform the
product of trigonometric functions into an algebraic
sum:


We'll use the product formula
for:


sin a*cos b =
[sin(a-b)+sin(a+b)]/2


We'll substitute a by x and b by
2x:


sinx*cos 2x =
[sin(x-2x)+sin(x+2x)]/2


sinx*cos 2x = (sin3x - sin
x)/2


We'll substitute the product by the
difference:


Int sinx*cos 2x dx = Int (sin3x - sin
x)dx/2


Int (sin3x - sin x)dx/2 = (1/2)*[Int (sin3x)dx - Int
(sin x)dx]


Int (sin3x - sin x)dx/2 = -cos 3x/6 + cos x/2 +

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
