Recall that the substitution \(x=a \sec \theta\) implies either \(x \geq a\) (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 \(\tan \theta \leq 0\) ). 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.
Evaluating an integral without the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Evaluate \(\int_{0}^{\pi / 4} \ln (1+\tan x) d x\) using the following steps. a. If \(f\) is integrable on \([0, b],\) use substitution to show that $$ \int_{0}^{b} f(x) d x=\int_{0}^{b / 2}(f(x)+f(b-x)) d x $$ b. Use part (a) and the identity \(\tan (\alpha+\beta)=\frac{\tan \alpha+\tan \beta}{1-\tan \alpha \tan \beta}\) to evaluate \(\int_{0}^{\pi / 4} \ln (1+\tan x) d x\) (Source: The College Mathematics Journal 33, 4, Sep 2004).
Use the reduction formulas in a table of integrals to evaluate the following integrals. $$\int \sec ^{4} 4 t d t$$
$$\frac{-\sin ^{-1} a x}{x}-a \ln \left|\frac{1+\sqrt{1-(a x)^{2}}}{a x}\right|+C$$
Given a Midpoint Rule approximation \(M(n)\) and a Trapezoid Rule approximation \(T(n)\) for a continuous function on \([a, b]\) with \(n\) subintervals, show that \(T(2 n)=(T(n)+M(n)) / 2\).
