    Solving Infinite Series: a_n = \frac{2n}{3n+1}

    I'm having a little trouble with the following problem. here it is... Determinte whether a_n is convergent for... a_n = \frac{2n}{3n+1} How would i go about solving this? Can i just simply take the limit and use L'Hospital's rule to see if it diverges or converges? Or is it a little...

    Calculating Volume of Rotated Curve: y=1/x, y=-1

    Hey everyone...I need to find the volume of the following shape... y= \frac{1}{x}, y=0, x=1, x=3 rotated about y=-1 ok so, i drew out the shape, and for the radius i came up with: r= \frac{1}{x} + 1 I think that's correct...so assuming that my radius is right, then the...

    Solving an Integral Question: Trig Substitution Method Explained

    ok here is the integral...sorry for the laziness... integral of dt/(t^4)-25 would this just turn out to be (t^4)-25 since you can bring up the denominator to the top as (something)^-1...then just take the antiderivative...? hope that makes sense edit: ok that won't work...so I think i...

    Struggling with Integrals? Here's How to Improve!

    You have the basic concept down. I guess the most effective way to get good is to practice. I used to be horrible at integrals, but i have gotten much better, yet I am no expert...i practiced a lot. get familiar with all of the different techniques of integrals, like u substitution, trig sub, by...

    What are F(1) and F'(1) for F(x) = \int_{-x}^{x} \frac{dt}{1+t^2}?

    Ok i have another problemo here... if F(x) = \int_{-x}^{x} \frac{dt}{1+t^2} Find F(1) and F'(1)...I need some assistance...the anti derivative is arctan(t) so then... do i set that equal to f(1) and solve for t? and then for F', take the derivative and then solve for t again? I...

    Struggling with Integration: e^x \sin(\pi x)

    Ok, here is the integral i seem to be having some issues with. I know there's a very simple step I am missing. \int_{}^{} e^x \sin(\pi x) dx i attempted to do this using by parts integration. I tried u = \sin(\pi x) so du= \pi \cos(\pi x) dx so then dv= e^x dx and v= e^x...
