The following integrals require a preliminary step such as long division or a change of variables before using partial fractions. Evaluate these integrals. $$\int \frac{d x}{e^{x}+e^{2 x}}$$
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. $$A: d x=\frac{2}{1+u^{2}} d u \quad B: \sin x=\frac{2 u}{1+u^{2}} \quad C: \cos x=\frac{1-u^{2}}{1+u^{2}}$$ $$\text { Evaluate } \int \frac{d x}{1+\sin x}$$
Show that \(L=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty}\left(\frac{1}{n} \ln n !-\ln n\right)=-1\) in the following steps. a. Note that \(n !=n(n-1)(n-2) \cdots 1\) and use \(\ln (a b)=\ln a+\ln b\) to show that $$ \begin{aligned} L &=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty}\left[\left(\frac{1}{n} \sum_{k=1}^{n} \ln k\right)-\ln n\right] \\ &=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{n} \sum_{k=1}^{n} \ln \left(\frac{k}{n}\right) \end{aligned} $$ b. Identify the limit of this sum as a Riemann sum for \(\int_{0}^{1} \ln x d x\) Integrate this improper integral by parts and reach the desired conclusion.
The following integrals require a preliminary step such as long division or a change of variables before using partial fractions. Evaluate these integrals. $$\int \frac{2 x^{3}+x^{2}-6 x+7}{x^{2}+x-6} d x$$
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 $$\sin x=2 \sin \left(\frac{x}{2}\right) \cos \left(\frac{x}{2}\right) \text { and } \cos x=2 \cos ^{2}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)-1$$
