Homework Statement


Find the antiderivative F of f that satisifies the given condition. Check by comparing the graphs of f and F.

f(x)=4-3(1+x^2)^-1
F(1)=0


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


So far what I attempted to do was this:

F(x)=4x -3tan^-1(x) + C
but was unsure from here on.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Just plug in the given value for F(1) = 0 and solve for C.
 
Ok so my F(x) is correct?

That was probably the part I needed the most assurance with.

(4x)'= 4 and
(-3 arctan(x))'= -3/(x2+1)
so what is F' ?

F(1)= 4(1)- 3arctan(1)+ C= 0. C= ?
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
