2. Simplify tan x(csc x – sin x)

3. A research lab grows a type of bacterium in culture in a circular region. The radius of the circle, measured in centimeters, is given by, where tis time measured in hours passed since a circle of a 1cm radius of the bacterium was put into the culture. Express the area, A(t)

, of the bacteria as a function of time, and find the approximate area of the bacterial culture in 4hours.
