Compute \(\int_{0}^{1} \ln x d x\) using integration by parts. Then explain why \(-\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-x} d x\) (an easier integral) gives the same result.
By reduction formula 4 in Section 3 $$\int \sec ^{3} u d u=\frac{1}{2}(\sec u \tan u+\ln |\sec u+\tan u|)+C$$ Graph the following functions and find the area under the curve on the given interval. $$f(x)=\left(9-x^{2}\right)^{-2},\left[0, \frac{3}{2}\right]$$
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.
The following integrals require a preliminary step such as long division or a change of variables before using partial fractions. Evaluate these integrals. $$\int \sqrt{e^{x}+1} d x \text { (Hint: Let } u=\sqrt{e^{x}+1}$$
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?
