Many methods needed Show that \(\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{\sqrt{x} \ln x}{(1+x)^{2}} d x=\pi\) in the following steps. a. Integrate by parts with \(u=\sqrt{x} \ln x.\) b. Change variables by letting \(y=1 / x.\) c. Show that \(\int_{0}^{1} \frac{\ln x}{\sqrt{x}(1+x)} d x=-\int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{\ln x}{\sqrt{x}(1+x)} d x\) and conclude that \(\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{\ln x}{\sqrt{x}(1+x)} d x=0.\) d. Evaluate the remaining integral using the change of variables \(z=\sqrt{x}\) (Source: Mathematics Magazine 59, No. 1 (February 1986): 49).
On the interval \([0,2],\) the graphs of \(f(x)=x^{2} / 3\) and \(g(x)=x^{2}\left(9-x^{2}\right)^{-1 / 2}\) have similar shapes. a. Find the area of the region bounded by the graph of \(f\) and the \(x\) -axis on the interval [0,2] b. Find the area of the region bounded by the graph of \(g\) and the \(x\) -axis on the interval [0,2] c. Which region has the greater area?
Use integration by parts to evaluate the following integrals. $$\int_{0}^{\infty} x e^{-x} d x$$
Use the indicated substitution to convert the given integral to an integral of a rational function. Evaluate the resulting integral. $$\int \frac{d x}{x \sqrt{1+2 x}} ; 1+2 x=u^{2}$$
The following integrals require a preliminary step such as long division or a change of variables before using partial fractions. Evaluate these integrals. $$\int \frac{d x}{\left(e^{x}+e^{-x}\right)^{2}}$$
