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 \(\tan \theta \leq 0\) ). Evaluate for \(\int \frac{\sqrt{x^{2}-1}}{x^{3}} d x,\) for \(x>1\) and for \(x<-1\)
Prove the following orthogonality relations (which are used to generate Fourier series). Assume \(m\) and \(n\) are integers with \(m \neq n\) a. \(\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin m x \sin n x d x=0\) b. \(\int_{0}^{\pi} \cos m x \cos n x d x=0\) c. \(\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin m x \cos n x d x=0\)
Shortcut for the Trapezoid Rule Prove that if you have \(M(n)\) and \(T(n)\) (a Midpoint Rule approximation and a Trapezoid Rule approximation with \(n\) subintervals), then \(T(2 n)=(T(n)+M(n)) / 2\).
Use integration by parts to evaluate the following integrals. $$\int_{0}^{\infty} x e^{-x} d x$$
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. $$A: d x=\frac{2}{1+u^{2}} d u \quad B: \sin x=\frac{2 u}{1+u^{2}} \quad C: \cos x=\frac{1-u^{2}}{1+u^{2}}$$ $$\text { Evaluate } \int \frac{d \theta}{\cos \theta-\sin \theta}$$
