Prove the following orthogonality relations (which are used to generate Fourier series). Assume \(m\) and \(n\) are integers with \(m \neq n\) a. \(\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin m x \sin n x d x=0\) b. \(\int_{0}^{\pi} \cos m x \cos n x d x=0\) c. \(\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin m x \cos n x d x=0\)
Find the volume of the following solids. The region bounded by \(y=\frac{1}{\sqrt{4-x^{2}}}, y=0, x=-1,\) ar \(x=1\) is revolved about the \(x\) -axis.
\(A\) 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. $$f(t)=1 \longrightarrow F(s)=\frac{1}{s}$$
The following integrals require a preliminary step such as long division or a change of variables before using partial fractions. Evaluate these integrals. $$\int \frac{d x}{1+e^{x}}$$
An integrand with trigonometric functions in the numerator and denominator can often be converted to a rational integrand using the substitution \(u=\tan (x / 2)\) or \(x=2 \tan ^{-1} u .\) The following relations are used in making this change of variables. $$A: d x=\frac{2}{1+u^{2}} d u \quad B: \sin x=\frac{2 u}{1+u^{2}} \quad C: \cos x=\frac{1-u^{2}}{1+u^{2}}$$ Verify relation \(A\) by differentiating \(x=2 \tan ^{-1} u\). Verify relations \(B\) and \(C\) using a right-triangle diagram and the double-angle formulas $$\sin x=2 \sin \left(\frac{x}{2}\right) \cos \left(\frac{x}{2}\right) \text { and } \cos x=2 \cos ^{2}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)-1$$
