In L'Hôpital's 1696 calculus textbook, he illustrated his rule using the limit of the function \(f(x)=\frac{\sqrt{2 a^{3} x-x^{4}}-a \sqrt[3]{a^{2} x}}{a-\sqrt[4]{a x^{3}}}\) as \(x\) approaches \(a, a>0 .\) Find this limit.
Evaluate the definite integral. $$ \int_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2}\left(\sin ^{2} x+1\right) d x $$
The magnetic potential \(P\) at a point on the axis of a circular coil is given by \(P=\frac{2 \pi N I r}{k} \int_{c}^{\infty} \frac{1}{\left(r^{2}+x^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}} d x\) where \(N, I, r, k,\) and \(c\) are constants. Find \(P\)
Prove that \(I_{n}=\left(\frac{n-1}{n+2}\right) I_{n-1},\) where \(I_{n}=\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{x^{2 n-1}}{\left(x^{2}+1\right)^{n+3}} d x, \quad n \geq 1 .\) Then evaluate each integral. (a) \(\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{x}{\left(x^{2}+1\right)^{4}} d x\) (b) \(\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{x^{3}}{\left(x^{2}+1\right)^{5}} d x\) (c) \(\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{x^{5}}{\left(x^{2}+1\right)^{6}} d x\)
Find the integral. Use a computer algebra system to confirm your result. $$ \int \frac{\cot ^{2} t}{\csc t} d t $$
