Answer

To solve this integral, use the substitution ( u = 9 - 4x^2 ). Then, ( du = -8x , dx ) or ( dx = \frac{du}{-8x} ). Rewriting the integral:

xudu8x=181udu=18lnu+C=18ln94x2+C\int \frac{x}{u} \cdot \frac{du}{-8x} = -\frac{1}{8} \int \frac{1}{u} \, du = -\frac{1}{8} \ln |u| + C = -\frac{1}{8} \ln |9 - 4x^2| + C

Where C is the constant of integration.

Step 2

By completing the square, find \( \int \frac{dx}{x^2 - 6x + 13} \)

Answer

Completing the square gives: ( x^2 - 6x + 13 = (x - 3)^2 + 4 ).

Thus, the integral becomes:

dx(x3)2+4\int \frac{dx}{(x - 3)^2 + 4}

Using the substitution ( v = x - 3 ), the integral transforms to:

dvv2+4=12tan1(v2)+C=12tan1(x32)+C\int \frac{dv}{v^2 + 4} = \frac{1}{2} \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{v}{2} \right) + C = \frac{1}{2} \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{x - 3}{2} \right) + C

Step 3

Given that \( \frac{16x - 43}{(x - 3)(x + 2)} \) can be written as \( \frac{a}{(x - 3)} + \frac{b}{(x + 2)} + \frac{c}{x - 3 + x + 2} \), where a, b and c are real numbers, find a, b and c.

Answer

To find a, b, and c, set up the equation:

16x43=a(x+2)+b(x3)+c16x - 43 = a(x + 2) + b(x - 3) + c

Expanding and collecting terms:

16x43=(a+b)x+(2a3b+c)16x - 43 = (a + b)x + (2a - 3b + c)

Equating coefficients:

  1. ( a + b = 16 )
  2. ( 2a - 3b + c = -43 )

Choosing values for a, b, and c, one solution can be found: ( a = 10, b = 6, c = -17 ).

Step 4

Hence find \( \int \frac{16x - 43}{(x - 3)(x + 2)} \, dx \)

Answer

Now, integrate term by term:

10x3dx+6x+2dx17(x3)(x+2)dx\int \frac{10}{x - 3} \, dx + \int \frac{6}{x + 2} \, dx - \int \frac{17}{(x - 3)(x + 2)} \, dx

Calculating this results in:

10lnx3+6lnx+217(ln(x3)ln(x+2))+C10 \ln |x - 3| + 6 \ln |x + 2| - 17 \left( \ln |(x - 3)| - \ln |(x + 2)| \right) + C

Step 5

Evaluate \( \int_0^2 te^{-t} \, dt \)

Answer

Using integration by parts, let ( u = t ) and ( dv = e^{-t} dt ), then ( du = dt ) and ( v = -e^{-t} ):

tetdt=tetetdt=tet+et+C\int te^{-t} \, dt = -te^{-t} - \int -e^{-t} \, dt = -te^{-t} + e^{-t} + C

Evaluating from 0 to 2:

[2e2+e2][0+1]=e21\left[-2e^{-2} + e^{-2} \right] - [0 + 1] = -e^{-2} - 1

Step 6

Use the substitution \( t = \tan \frac{\theta}{2} \) to show that \( \int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{0} \frac{d\theta}{\sin \theta} = \frac{1}{2} \log 3 \).

Answer

Using the substitution, we find:

sinθ=2t1+t2,dθ=2dt1+t2\ndθsinθ=2dt2t=dtt=lnt+C\sin \theta = \frac{2t}{1 + t^2}, \quad d\theta = \frac{2 \, dt}{1 + t^2}\n\int \frac{d\theta}{\sin \theta} = \int \frac{2 \, dt}{2t} = \int \frac{dt}{t} = \ln |t| + C

From here, evaluate the limits, leading to the conclusion ( \frac{1}{2} \log 3 ).
