Im still not seeing the big picture here. Can you write out exactly what this problem should look like with all the steps at least partially worked out?

Ok, I see what you are saying now, but when I graphed the parabola, I also saw that coming from the right-hand side, the values of x were also positive up until x=1.

Im still not sure how it is you are coming to the statement that "if x comes from the left, then this expression is positive." Can you explain how you are getting this? Here is what I have now:

I do not see how they should be switched. Can you explain your process in more detail?

Ok, from the left-hand side of the limit, I got -2, and from the right-hand side I got 2, and when x-1=0 I got "does not exist." Is this right?

Homework Statement lim as x\rightarrow-1 = \frac{|x^{2}-1|}{x^{2}+x} Homework Equations N/a The Attempt at a Solution Tried to write this as a piecewise function, but I got lost.

Oh, ok. Thanks again!

I still don't see how this gets (1/8), and even then, what is the purpose of doing this, and where does the (2x) come from?

Homework Statement \int xarcsin2xdx 2. The attempt at a solution Can someone explain to me what is happening at step 2? I understand how the integration by parts was done, but where does the (1/8) or (2x) come from?

Okay, I got it now. Thanks for all your help!

Okay, that's what I thought you wanted me to do. I am now left with this: (7/4)\int sec^{3}Θ = (3/4)secΘtanΘ - (3/4)ln\left|secΘ + tanΘ\right| + C Now I need to manipulate the fraction so as to get (4/3)\int sec^{3}Θ How do I do this?

I am still not seeing it. Currently, I have \int sec^{3}Θ = (3/4)(secΘtanΘ - \int tan^{2}ΘsecΘ)

Is there anyone that can help me finish this problem?

Alright, I still seem to have a problem. I now have (3/4)(secθtanθ)-\int tan^{2}θsecθ Where do I go from here?
