True/False: Determine whether each of the statements that follow is true or false. If a statement is true, explain why. If a statement is false, provide a counterexample.
(a) True or False: The substitution x = 2 sec u is a suitable choice for solving.
(b) True or False: The substitution x = 2 sec u is a suitable choice for solving.
(c) True or False: The substitution x = 2 tan u is a suitable choice for solving
(d) True or False: The substitution x = 2 sin u is a suitable choice for solving
(e) True or False: Trigonometric substitution is a useful strategy for solving any integral that involves an expression of the form .
(f) True or False: Trigonometric substitution doesn’t solve an integral; rather, it helps you rewrite integrals as ones that are easier to solve by other methods.
(g) True or False: When using trigonometric substitution with , we must consider the cases and separately.
(h) True or False: When using trigonometric substitution with , we must consider the cases and separately.
Solve the integral:
Which of the integrals that follow would be good candidates for trigonometric substitution? If a trigonometric substitution is a good strategy, name the substitution. If another method is a better strategy, explain that method.

Why doesn’t the definite integral make sense? (Hint: Think about domains.)
Why is it okay to use a triangle without thinking about the unit circle when simplifying expressions that result from a trigonometric substitution withor ? Why do we need to think about the unit circle after trigonometric substitution with ?
