Find the volume of the described solid of revolution or state that it does not exist. The region bounded by \(f(x)=\left(x^{2}-1\right)^{-1 / 4}\) and the \(x\) -axis on the interval (1,2] is revolved about the \(y\) -axis.
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. \(\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin m x \cos n x d x=0\)
Use symmetry to evaluate the following integrals. a. \(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{|x|} d x \quad\) b. \(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{x^{3}}{1+x^{8}} d x\)
An important function in statistics is the Gaussian (or normal distribution, or bell-shaped curve), \(f(x)=e^{-a x^{2}}.\) a. Graph the Gaussian for \(a=0.5,1,\) and 2. b. Given that \(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-a x^{2}} d x=\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{a}},\) compute the area under the curves in part (a). c. Complete the square to evaluate \(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-\left(a x^{2}+b x+c\right)} d x,\) where \(a>0, b,\) and \(c\) are real numbers.
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. $$A: d x=\frac{2}{1+u^{2}} d u \quad B: \sin x=\frac{2 u}{1+u^{2}} \quad C: \cos x=\frac{1-u^{2}}{1+u^{2}}$$ $$\text { Evaluate } \int \frac{d x}{1+\sin x+\cos x}$$
