Integrals, Can you please help me out with these ? http://screencast.com/t/q7aRmND5gCP I know they are simple, I just need to remember them

OpenStudy (amistre64):

a and b can be split c looks splitable to, but with an arctangent result

OpenStudy (amistre64):

d is just a fancier way to say x^4 ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which set are you talking about ? there are 3 ets of a b c d

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i figured i would just start at random and they just by happenstance lined up in some alphabetical order :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

;s

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the first set of course ... starting at the begining tends to be a good place :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D

OpenStudy (amistre64):

can you see how to split a and b to make them simpler?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a) is 1/x + lnx + c ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

(x+1)/x = 1 + 1/x integrates to: x + lnx + C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i split the fraction addition

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the int of x/x ? :/

OpenStudy (amistre64):

b is similar in that 2=1+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah right x/x = 1

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\frac{x+2}{x+1}\] \[\frac{x+1+1}{x+1}\] \[\frac{x+1}{x+1}+\frac{1}{x+1}\] \[1+\frac{1}{x+1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the only diff is ln(x + 1 )

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes, and for c, i see a split as well; if you know how to integrate the second term:\[\frac{2x+1}{x^2+1}\] \[\frac{2x}{x^2+1}+\frac{1}{x^2+1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ln|2x| + ln(x^2 +1) + c ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

not ln(2x); think tan^(-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but there i a formula Int of f' / f = ln|f| + c

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[y = tan^{-1}(x)\] \[tan(y) = x\] \[sec^2(y)y' = 1\] \[y' = \frac{1}{sec^2(y)}\] \[y' = \frac{1}{tan^2(y)+1}\] \[y' = \frac{1}{x^2+1}\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

therefore:\[\int \frac{1}{x^2+1}dx=tan^{-1}(x)+C\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and whats 2x/x^2 + 1 ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the top is the derivative of the bottom ... so ln it up like normal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

soo ln|2x| ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

no .. ln |x^2+1|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if it was (x^2 + 1)/(2x) would I be able to apply this formula ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

of course not: \[[ln(u)]'\to\frac{u'}{u}~\ne~\frac{u}{u'}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I solved d x^5/5 + c

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sinx + c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2) a)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

csc = 1/sin; so set2 is really just: int sin(x) dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tanx + c next one

OpenStudy (amistre64):

sec^2 to tan i agree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the previews one you were talking about -cosx + c

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c has to be an identity right ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes; cot^2 + 1 = csc^2 i believe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so -cot + c ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

good

OpenStudy (amistre64):

multiply by cos/cos to unveil teh d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then what I do ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

integrate of course :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am stuck on how :/

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\frac{1}{sec+tan}\] \[\frac{1}{\frac1{cos}+\frac{sin}{cos}}\] \[\frac{cos}{1+sin}\] is there any relationship between the top and bottom?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

since sine and cosine are related by derivatives; its always best to see if you can apply some rule for it; or run a u-sub for good measure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ln(cosx) + c

OpenStudy (amistre64):

not quite ... use the bottom when you ln up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I used u sub

OpenStudy (amistre64):

ln(x) to 1/x, not x/1

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you u-subbed incorrectly then :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:( how would you u sub ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

let u = 1 + sin u' = cos replace the parts: u'/u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

du/u

OpenStudy (amistre64):

thats fine too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 1/u = lnu ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

good, and what does u equal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ln(1+ sinx) :D

OpenStudy (amistre64):

thats better :) with practice you simply ln it up using the bottom part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How can you intergrate sqrt functions ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you know power rules; a sqrt is just a ^(1/2) power

OpenStudy (amistre64):

add 1, and drop it under

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(2(x - 1)^(3/2))/3

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or, use u-subs to clear up the distractions

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

+C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the next one is the same thing ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

id say multiply by 2/2 to run the next one ... from alot of practice

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or let u = 2x+1 du = 2 dx dx = du/2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

c is a chain rule reversal ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so after sub we have e^u/2 right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know what it is supposed to be but I dont know how to actually find it by intergrating lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

of course

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[e^x\to e^x\]therefore e^{2x+1} has to come from some sort of ke^{2x+1}, so take a derivative: \[ke^{2x+1}\to 2k~e^{2x+1}=e^{2x+1}\] when 2k = 1, k = 1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhhhh e^(2x+1)/2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\int e^{2x+1}dx\] \[\frac 22\int e^{2x+1}dx\] \[\frac 12\int 2e^{2x+1}dx\] \[\frac 12e^{2x+1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c seems a pretty one lol..

OpenStudy (amistre64):

its just reversing the chain rule

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[[f(g)]'=f'(g)~g'\] \[f(g)=\int f'(g)~g'\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do I have to multiply both parts with dx

OpenStudy (amistre64):

it would be best to split the integration into different parts, yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and since sin and cos are related by derivatives; you should be considering this as chain rule reversal

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\int (sin)^3~cos\] let u = sin du = cos \[\int (u)^3~u'\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok how did u replace cos^3 ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

consider it a seperate integration and apply the same technique as the first term

OpenStudy (amistre64):

let u = cos u' = -sin (u^3) (-u')

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\int(s^3c+sc^3)dx\] \[\int~s^3c~dx~+~\int~sc^3~dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK I solved it but its too long to actually type it down :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait sin^4/4 +cos^4/4 + c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got simplier

OpenStudy (amistre64):

(sin^4 - cos^4)/4 + C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah yea I had a minus too

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i got no idea for that last one, at least not without some added thought
