Use the indicated substitution to convert the given integral to an integral of a rational function. Evaluate the resulting integral. $$\int \frac{d x}{x-\sqrt[4]{x}} ; x=u^{4}$$
Let \(I_{n}=\int x^{n} e^{-x^{2}} d x,\) where \(n\) is a nonnegative integer. a. \(I_{0}=\int e^{-x^{2}} d x\) cannot be expressed in terms of elementary functions. Evaluate \(I_{1}\). b. Use integration by parts to evaluate \(I_{3}\). c. Use integration by parts and the result of part (b) to evaluate \(I_{5}\). d. Show that, in general, if \(n\) is odd, then \(I_{n}=-\frac{1}{2} e^{-x^{2}} p_{n-1}(x)\) where \(p_{n-1}\) is a polynomial of degree \(n-1\). e. Argue that if \(n\) is even, then \(I_{n}\) cannot be expressed in terms of elementary functions.
Let \(a>0\) and let \(R\) be the region bounded by the graph of \(y=e^{-a x}\) and the \(x\) -axis on the interval \([b, \infty).\) a. Find \(A(a, b),\) the area of \(R\) as a function of \(a\) and \(b\) b. Find the relationship \(b=g(a)\) such that \(A(a, b)=2\) c. What is the minimum value of \(b\) (call it \(b^{*}\) ) such that when \(b>b^{*}, A(a, b)=2\) for some value of \(a>0 ?\)
Refer to the summary box (Partial Fraction Decompositions) and evaluate the following integrals. $$\int \frac{x^{3}+1}{x\left(x^{2}+x+1\right)^{2}} d x$$
Graph the function \(f(x)=\frac{1}{x \sqrt{x^{2}-36}}\) on its domain. Then find the area of the region \(R_{1}\) bounded by the curve and the \(x\) -axis on \([-12,-12 / \sqrt{3}]\) and the area of the region \(R_{2}\) bounded by the curve and the \(x\) -axis on \([12 / \sqrt{3}, 12] .\) Be sure your results are consistent with the graph.
