Recall that the substitution \(x=a \sec \theta\) implies that \(x \geq a\) (in which case \(0 \leq \theta<\pi / 2\) and \(\tan \theta \geq 0\) ) or \(x \leq-a\) (in which case \(\pi / 2<\theta \leq \pi\) and \(\tan \theta \leq 0\) ). $$ \begin{array}{l} \text { Show that } \int \frac{d x}{x \sqrt{x^{2}-1}}= \\ \qquad\left\\{\begin{array}{ll} \sec ^{-1} x+C=\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{x^{2}-1}+C & \text { if } x>1 \\ -\sec ^{-1} x+C=-\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{x^{2}-1}+C & \text { if } x<-1 \end{array}\right. \end{array} $$
Circumference of a circle Use calculus to find the circumference of a circle with radius \(a.\)
Refer to the summary box (Partial Fraction Decompositions) and evaluate the following integrals. $$\int \frac{x^{3}+1}{x\left(x^{2}+x+1\right)^{2}} d x$$
Graph the function \(f(x)=\frac{\sqrt{x^{2}-9}}{x}\) and consider the region bounded by the curve and the \(x\) -axis on \([-6,-3] .\) Then evaluate \(\int_{-6}^{-3} \frac{\sqrt{x^{2}-9}}{x} d x .\) Be sure the result is consistent with the graph.
Three cars, \(A, B,\) and \(C,\) start from rest and accelerate along a line according to the following velocity functions: $$v_{A}(t)=\frac{88 t}{t+1}, \quad v_{B}(t)=\frac{88 t^{2}}{(t+1)^{2}}, \quad \text { and } \quad v_{C}(t)=\frac{88 t^{2}}{t^{2}+1}$$ a. Which car has traveled farthest on the interval \(0 \leq t \leq 1 ?\) b. Which car has traveled farthest on the interval \(0 \leq t \leq 5 ?\) c. Find the position functions for the three cars assuming that all cars start at the origin. d. Which car ultimately gains the lead and remains in front?
