If a is positive and \(\mathrm{I}=\int_{-1}^{1} \frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\sqrt{1-2 \mathrm{ax}+\mathrm{a}^{2}}}\) then show that \(\mathrm{I}=2 \mathrm{ifa}<1\) and \(\mathrm{I}=\frac{2}{\mathrm{a}}\) if \(\mathrm{a}>1\).
(a) Make a conjecture about the value of the limit \(\lim _{k \rightarrow 0} \int_{1}^{b} t^{k-1} d t(b>0)\) (b) Check your conjecture by evaluating the integral and finding the limit. [Hint: Interpret the limit as the definition of the derivative of an exponential function]
One of the numbers \(\pi, \pi / 2,35 \pi / 128,1-\pi\) is the correct value of the integral \(\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin ^{8} x d x\). Use the graph of \(\mathrm{y}=\sin ^{8} \mathrm{x}\) and a logical process of elimination to find the correct value.
A function \(\mathrm{f}\) is defined for all real \(\mathrm{x}\) by the formula \(\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=3+\int_{0}^{\mathrm{x}} \frac{1+\sin \mathrm{t}}{2+\mathrm{t}^{2}} \mathrm{dt}\). Without attempting to evaluate this integral, find a quadratic polynomial \(\mathrm{p}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{bx}+\mathrm{cx}^{2}\) such that \(\mathrm{p}(0)=\mathrm{f}(0), \mathrm{p}^{\prime}(0)=\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(0)\), and \(\mathrm{p}^{\prime \prime}(0)=\) f' \((0)\).
If \(\mathrm{I}=\int_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm{dx}}{1+\mathrm{x}^{3 / 2}}\), prove that, \(\ell \mathrm{n} 2<\mathrm{I}<\frac{\pi}{4}\).
