need help with integral problems

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{1}\sqrt{x}*(1-x)\]

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

and this one too \[\int\limits_{?}^{?} \frac{ x+4 }{ (x^2+8x- 7)^2}\]

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

so just multiply the x^1/2 for the first one and what about the second one?

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

hello?

OpenStudy (zale101):

Like i said, for the first one, all you have to do is distribute x^(1/2) into he parenthesis. For the second problem, do u-sub for the second one. Let u=x^2+8x-7 du=2x+8 dx also, can be written as du=2(x+4)dx

OpenStudy (zale101):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{x+4}{(x^2+8x-7)^2}dx=\frac{1}{2}\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{2(x+4)}{(x^2+8x-7)^2}\] \(\large u=x^2+8x-7\) and \(du=(2x+8)dx\)

OpenStudy (zale101):

@El_Arrow clear?

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

why do you have the 1/2 out front?

OpenStudy (zale101):

All I'm doing is wishing 2 to be in the integral to make it look like the du= 2(x+4)dx, but i'd have to factor out 1/2 . Anything you want to multiply in the integral must have another number than can make it go back to normal \(\LARGE \frac{1}{2}\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{2(x+4)}{(x^2+8x-7)^2}\)=\(\LARGE \int\limits_{}^{}\frac{1}{2}\frac{2(x+4)}{(x^2+8x-7)^2}\)=\(\LARGE \int\limits_{}^{}\frac{(x+4)}{(x^2+8x-7)^2}\) When half gets multiplied back into the integral, it gets cancelled by the two. ALL of these three integrals are the same except a couple of algebra was done to make it look easier to proceed with the U-Sub.

OpenStudy (zale101):

I'm forgetting the dx.

OpenStudy (zale101):

My bad.

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

okay so your left with |dw:1431494280661:dw|

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

what do you do from there?

OpenStudy (zale101):

Nopes. What happened to the 1/2 and 2(x+4) ? YOU need 2(x+4) because that's what you want to replace with the du.

OpenStudy (zale101):

|dw:1431494398203:dw|
