Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) The solution of the integral is 115x2-1323x2+2+C.

Part (b) The solution of the integral is 115x2-1323x2+2+C.

Part (c) The solution of the integral is 115x2-1323x2+2+C.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given Information.

The given integral is∫x3x2-1dx.

02

Part (a) Step 2. Solve. 

We have to solve the integral with the substitution u=x2-1,so the derivative isdu=2xdx.

Let's solve the integral by substituting u,

localid="1648816067865" ∫x3x2-1dx=12∫u+1udu=12∫u32+udu=12∫u32du+12∫udu=1225u52+1223u32+C=15u52+13u32+CSubstitutebacku,=15x2-152+13x2-132+C=115x2-1323x2+2+C

03

Part (b) Step 1. Solve.

We have to solve the integral with integration by parts, choosing u=x2and dv=xx2-1dx.

Thus, the derivation of uis du=2xdx, and to find vintegrate dv.

So,

role="math" localid="1648817215834" ∫dv=∫xx2-1dxv=13x2-132dx

04

Part (b) Step 2. Solve.

Let's do the integration by parts,

∫x2xx2-1dx=x213x2-132-13∫x2-1322xdx=x23x2-132-23∫x2-132xdx=x23x2-132-2315x2-152+C=115x2-1325x2-2x2-1+c=115x2-1323x2+2+C

05

Part (c) Step 1. Solve.

We have to solve the integral with the substitution x=secu,so the derivative isdx=secutanudu.

Let's solve the integral by substituting x,

role="math" localid="1648817837174" ∫x3x2-1dx=∫sec3usec2u-1secutanudu=∫sec4utan2utanudu=∫sec4utan2udu=∫sec2usec2utan2udu=∫(1+tan2u)sec2utan2uduLett=tanu,dt=sec2udu=∫(1+t2)t2dt=∫t2+t4dt=∫t2dt+∫t4dt=t33+t55+C

06

Part (c) Step 2. Solve.

By proceeding with the calculation further,

Substitutebackt,=tanu33+tanu55+C=sec2u-133+sec2u-155+C=sec2u-1323+sec2u-1525+CSubstitutebacku,=x2-1323+x2-1525+C=115x2-1323x2+2+C
