What is the distance if the velocity is v=1/sin^2t*cos^2t

The distance is ds =
v*dt.


We'll integrate both
sides:


Integral ds = Integral
v*dt


s = Integral v*dt


To
integrate the given function, we'll have to re-write the numerator of the function to
give odds to the resolution of the indefinite
integral.


We'll substitute the numerator1, by the
fundamental formula of trigonometry:


(sin t)^2 + (cos
t)^2 = 1


We'll re-write the
ratio:


1/(sin t)^2*(cos t)^2=[(sin t)^2 + (cos t)^2]/(sin
t)^2*(cos t)^2


1/(sin t)^2*(cos t)^2 = (sin t)^2/(sin
t)^2*(cos t)^2 + (cos t)^2/(sin t)^2*(cos t)^2


We'll
simplify the ratios:


1/(sin t)^2*(cos t)^2 = 1/(cos t)^2 +
1/(sin t)^2


We'll integrate both
sides:


Int dt/(sin t)^2*(cos t)^2 = Int dt/(cos t)^2 + Int
dt/(sin t)^2


Int dt/(sin t)^2*(cos t)^2 =
tan t - cot t + C


The
expression of the function of distance
is:


s(t) = tan t -
cot t

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...
