Solve the integral:
Complete the square for each quadratic in Exercises 28鈥33. Then describe the trigonometric substitution that would be appropriate if you were solving an integral that involved that quadratic.
Examples: Construct examples of the thing(s) described in the following. Try to find examples that are different than any in the reading.
(a) An integral with which we could reasonably apply trigonometric substitution with .
(b) An integral with which we could reasonably apply trigonometric substitution with .
(c) An integral with which we could reasonably apply trigonometric substitution with .
Explain why, if , then is if and is if . Your explanation should include a discussion of domains and absolute values.
Consider the integral .
(a) Solve this integral by using u-substitution.
(b) Solve the integral another way, using algebra to multiply out the integrand first.
(c) How must your two answers be related? Use algebra to prove this relationship.
