Last time I laid in a hospital bed, twelve years ago, I was so ill I wouldn't read, watch TV, much less use a calculator or a notebook. I was meant to stay there only for a day or two after the appendicetomy but something went south and I had to undergo a second surgery four days later. As a result I spent three days in the ICU and three more weeks at the hospital before recovering and finally going home. Glad to know you are fine and even solving interesting problems during your stay :-)

Not a specialist here either. Anyway, FWIW, the attached PDF shows a step-by-step solution to this problem. It's in Portuguese, but the formulas looks exactly the same, except that sin(x) is written sen(x). So, no SIN at all this time.

Best regards,

Gerson.
