integration problem
\[\int\limits_{0}^{1} (x ^{2}+3)^{-1} dx ^{-1}\]
no -1 after dx sorry
\[\int_0^1\frac{1}{x^2+3}dx\]?
yup
partial fraction
haven't learnt that yet sorry
hmmm
partial fractions wont work unless you are working in the complex plane using a contour, because \[x^2+3\] is prime
look in the back of your text for integrals of the form \[\frac{1}{u^2+a^2}\]
i tried but cannot continue..
thats tan
you will see \[\int\frac{1}{u^2+a^2}du=\frac{1}{a}\tan^{-1}(\frac{x}{a}) + C\]
so your "anti derivative" is \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\tan^{-1}(\frac{x}{\sqrt{3}})\]
everything you need to know in calc 2, save series (if it is in your syllabus) can be found on the back four pages of your text
Everyone attacked the question.
we can derive the formula if you like, but it is a collosal waste of time do to it more than once
of course you are not done. you have to find \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}(\tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})-\tan^{-1}(0))\]
i haven't learnt the formula you stated and i can't even find it from the paper, the paper just provides those compound angle formulae but the others
are you using a text?
what do you mean?
1/3 -x^2/9 +x^4/27 - ... ---------------- 3+x^2 ) 1 (1+x^2/3) ---------- -x^2/3 (-x^2/3 -x^4/9) ----------------- x^4/9 (x^4/9+x^6/27) ------------- -x^6/27 ...... \[\sum_{n=0}^{inf}\frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{3^{n+1}}x^{2n}\] maybe
once again you need to know that \[\frac{d}{dx}[\tan^{-1}(x)]=\frac{1}{x^2+1}\] and then make an adjustment for the 3
