Look, I was wondering if substituting the variable more than once is valid and hence the definite integral intervals change this way. Consider the following integral (I'm working for finding the volume of a solid of revolution): *\pi \int_{-3}^{5}3^{2}-(\sqrt{\frac{y+3}{2}}+1)^2dy Personally I...

Recently I started seeing integral calculus and right now we are covering the topic of the antiderivative. At first sign it was not very difficult, until we started seeing integral variable substitution. The problem starts right here: Let's suppose that we have a function like this: \int...

So I'm doing length of an arc in my calculus 1 class. After plugging everything in the arc length formula. Now I have this complicated function to integrate. Square root of (16x^8+8x^4+1)/16x^4. I took the denominator out of my square root and got 4x^2. Now I take u=4x^2. Du/2x =dx...

The problem statement Evaluate the indefinite integral ∫\frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x}-3}dx The attempt at a solution My first thought was to substitute u for √(x)-3, but then du would equal \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}dx, and there's no multiple of du in the integrand. Next, I tried splitting up...

∫(cot^4 x) (csc^4 x) dx Wolfram wants to use the reduction formula, but I'm meant to do this just using identities and u substitution. I was thinking something along the lines of: =∫cot^4 x (cot^2 x + 1)^2 dx =∫cot^8 x + 2cot^6 x + cot^4 x dx but I don't know where to go from there.

Homework Statement The Attempt at a Solution if x2 = u - 1, and if x3 = x2 * x, then x3 should equal (u-1)x, not .5(u-1). I'm assuming that they got u.5 because (x2+1).5 = (u-1+1).5 which is the same as u^.5

I would think because of this The following problem: At this stage they should use integration by parts: However, maybe integration by parts is only useful when one of the parts is e^x ln or a trigonometric formula.

I received no credit, resulting in an 84 for a few integral problems. I had correct final answers for everything. When I confronted my professor about this, he said it was because I didn't actually put "u" and "du" into the integral. Is that really always necessary? Why actually put the u in...

Allow me to explain my new theory, The "Mancini conjecture." Ok...lets say I have an integral like (4-x^2)^(1/2) dx. and letting u = 4-x^2, we get du/dx = -2x, and if I took the second derivative of du/dx...i would get -2 this would be ideal, because I would then have du'' = -2 dx, or -1/2...
