Solve the following two ways:
(a) with the trigonometric substitution x = 3 tan u;
(b) with algebra and the derivative of the arctangent.
Solve given definite integrals.
Complete the square for each quadratic in Exercises 28–33. Then describe the trigonometric substitution that would be appropriate if you were solving an integral that involved that quadratic.
Solve the integral:
Give an example of an integral for which trigonometric substitution is possible but an easier method is available. Then give an example of an integral that we still don’t know how to solve given the techniques we know at this point.
