Evaluate the following integrals. Consider completing the square. $$\int_{2+\sqrt{2}}^{4} \frac{d x}{\sqrt{(x-1)(x-3)}}$$
a. Graph the functions \(f_{1}(x)=\sin ^{2} x\) and \(f_{2}(x)=\sin ^{2} 2 x\) on the interval \([0, \pi] .\) Find the area under these curves on \([0, \pi]\) b. Graph a few more of the functions \(f_{n}(x)=\sin ^{2} n x\) on the interval \([0, \pi],\) where \(n\) is a positive integer. Find the area under these curves on \([0, \pi] .\) Comment on your observations. c. Prove that \(\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin ^{2}(n x) d x\) has the same value for all positive integers \(n\) d. Does the conclusion of part (c) hold if sine is replaced by cosine? e. Repeat parts (a), (b), and (c) with \(\sin ^{2} x\) replaced by \(\sin ^{4} x\) Comment on your observations. f. Challenge problem: Show that, for \(m=1,2,3, \ldots\) $$\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin ^{2 m} x d x=\int_{0}^{\pi} \cos ^{2 m} x d x=\pi \cdot \frac{1 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 \cdots(2 m-1)}{2 \cdot 4 \cdot 6 \cdots 2 m}$$
Refer to the summary box (Partial Fraction Decompositions) and evaluate the following integrals. $$\int \frac{x^{3}+1}{x\left(x^{2}+x+1\right)^{2}} d x$$
a. Verify the identity \(\sec x=\frac{\cos x}{1-\sin ^{2} x}\) b. Use the identity in part (a) to verify that \(\int \sec x d x=\frac{1}{2} \ln \left|\frac{1+\sin x}{1-\sin x}\right|+C\) (Source: The College Mathematics Joumal \(32,\) No. 5 (November 2001))
The following integrals require a preliminary step such as long division or a change of variables before using partial fractions. Evaluate these integrals. $$\int \frac{d x}{\left(e^{x}+e^{-x}\right)^{2}}$$
