integration problem

OpenStudy (callisto):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{1} (x ^{2}+3)^{-1} dx ^{-1}\]

OpenStudy (callisto):

no -1 after dx sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int_0^1\frac{1}{x^2+3}dx\]?

OpenStudy (callisto):

yup

sam (.sam.):

partial fraction

OpenStudy (callisto):

haven't learnt that yet sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

partial fractions wont work unless you are working in the complex plane using a contour, because \[x^2+3\] is prime

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look in the back of your text for integrals of the form \[\frac{1}{u^2+a^2}\]

OpenStudy (callisto):

i tried but cannot continue..

sam (.sam.):

thats tan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you will see \[\int\frac{1}{u^2+a^2}du=\frac{1}{a}\tan^{-1}(\frac{x}{a}) + C\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so your "anti derivative" is \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\tan^{-1}(\frac{x}{\sqrt{3}})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

Everyone attacked the question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we can derive the formula if you like, but it is a collosal waste of time do to it more than once

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of course you are not done. you have to find \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}(\tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})-\tan^{-1}(0))\]

OpenStudy (callisto):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you using a text?

OpenStudy (callisto):

what do you mean?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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
