Question: Evaluate the following indefinite integral: \(\int \frac{d x}{\left(16+9 x^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}}\) Answer: \(-\frac{1}{9(\sqrt{16+9x^2})}+C\)

Step by step solution

01

Identify the integral type

Observe the given integral \(\int \frac{d x}{\left(16+9 x^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}}\). Notice that it has a form similar to one of the table of integral entries: $$\int \frac{d x}{\sqrt{a^{2}+x^{2}}} = \sinh^{-1}\frac{x}{a}+C$$ In our case, \(a^2 = 16\) and so \(a = 4\). Now, since the given integral has the power of \(3/2\), we need to use substitution to match the exponent in order to use the arcsinh rule.
02

Use substitution to match the exponent

We will make the following substitution: $$u^2 = 16 + 9x^2$$ Differentiating both sides with respect to \(x\), we get $$2u\frac{d u}{d x} = 18x$$ From this, we can express \(\frac{dx}{du}\), which is: $$\frac{d x}{d u}=\frac{2u}{18x}=\frac{u}{9x}$$ Next, we will rewrite the original integral in terms of \(u\) using this substitution.
03

Rewrite the integral in terms of 'u' and solve

We rewrite the original integral as $$\int \frac{d x}{\left(16+9 x^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}}= \int \frac{1}{u^3}\cdot\left(\frac{u}{9x}\right) d u$$ Now, we can use the arcsinh integral rule to solve this integral: $$\int \frac{1}{u^3}\cdot\left(\frac{u}{9x}\right) d u =\frac{1}{9} \int \frac{d u}{u^2}$$ $$= -\frac{1}{9u} + C$$
04

Substitute 'x' back into the integral

Finally, we need to substitute \(u\) back in terms of \(x\). Recall that we had $$u^2 = 16+9x^2$$ We can solve for \(u\) by taking the square root: $$u = \sqrt{16+9x^2}$$ Now, substitute \(u\) back into the integral: $$-\frac{1}{9u} + C = -\frac{1}{9(\sqrt{16+9x^2})} + C$$
05

Final answer

The indefinite integral is given by: $$\int \frac{d x}{\left(16+9 x^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}} = -\frac{1}{9(\sqrt{16+9x^2})}+C$$

\(A\) powerful tool in solving problems in engineering and physics is the Laplace transform. Given a function \(f(t),\) the Laplace transform is a new function \(F(s)\) defined by $$ F(s)=\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-s t} f(t) d t $$ where we assume that s is a positive real number. For example, to find the Laplace transform of \(f(t)=e^{-t},\) the following improper integral is evaluated: $$ F(s)=\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-s t} e^{-t} d t=\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-(s+1) t} d t=\frac{1}{s+1} $$ Verify the following Laplace transforms, where a is a real number. $$f(t)=1 \longrightarrow F(s)=\frac{1}{s}$$

Refer to the summary box (Partial Fraction Decompositions) and evaluate the following integrals. $$\int \frac{d x}{(x+1)\left(x^{2}+2 x+2\right)^{2}}$$

Use the indicated substitution to convert the given integral to an integral of a rational function. Evaluate the resulting integral. $$\int \frac{d x}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt[3]{x}} ; x=u^{6}$$

The cycloid is the curve traced by a point on the rim of a rolling wheel. Imagine a wire shaped like an inverted cycloid (see figure). A bead sliding down this wire without friction has some remarkable properties. Among all wire shapes, the cycloid is the shape that produces the fastest descent time. It can be shown that the descent time between any two points \(0 \leq a \leq b \leq \pi\) on the curve is $$\text { descent time }=\int_{a}^{b} \sqrt{\frac{1-\cos t}{g(\cos a-\cos t)}} d t$$ where \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity, \(t=0\) corresponds to the top of the wire, and \(t=\pi\) corresponds to the lowest point on the wire. a. Find the descent time on the interval \([a, b]\) by making the substitution \(u=\cos t\) b. Show that when \(b=\pi\), the descent time is the same for all values of \(a ;\) that is, the descent time to the bottom of the wire is the same for all starting points.

A long, straight wire of length \(2 L\) on the \(y\) -axis carries a current \(I\). According to the Biot-Savart Law, the magnitude of the magnetic field due to the current at a point \((a, 0)\) is given by $$B(a)=\frac{\mu_{0} I}{4 \pi} \int_{-L}^{L} \frac{\sin \theta}{r^{2}} d y$$ where \(\mu_{0}\) is a physical constant, \(a>0,\) and \(\theta, r,\) and \(y\) are related as shown in the figure. a. Show that the magnitude of the magnetic field at \((a, 0)\) is $$B(a)=\frac{\mu_{0} I L}{2 \pi a \sqrt{a^{2}+L^{2}}}$$ b. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at \((a, 0)\) due to an infinitely long wire \((L \rightarrow \infty) ?\)
