The curves

y=sin(2x)+1y=cos2(x)

are drawn below.

The curves intersect at P and Q, whose x coordinates are p and q respectively.

  1. Show that p=πarctan(2) and q=π.

  2. Using the trapezium rule with 5 strips, approximate

    pqsin(2x)+1dx

    and

    pqcos2(x)dx
  3. Hence, find an estimate for the shaded area in the diagram.


Give your estimate for the shaded area to 2 decimal places.
