maybe some people have password from cal101.com? Please help... Becouse it can show integration step by step
The forum discussion revolves around a student from Ukraine seeking help with ten integration problems due to illness that caused missed lessons. The integrals include various functions such as (2*(x^(1/3))+3*x*(x^(1/2)))/(x^(1/4)) and (1-2*sinx)/(cosx^2). Participants provided guidance on techniques like integration by substitution and trigonometric substitutions, emphasizing the importance of showing work and understanding the concepts involved. The student demonstrated progress by attempting solutions and engaging with the community for further assistance.
PREREQUISITESStudents learning calculus, particularly those struggling with integration techniques, as well as educators looking for examples of student engagement in online math forums.
. That bandwagons getting pretty full now; I may have to think of jumping on!

cristo said:That's a neat thing to remember. I've never seen that before! (Sorry, I'll stop cluttering the thread now!)

What i must do?
http://math2.org/math/integrals/more/ln.htm i`ve read it... Thare is integration by part... And i can`t compare both integrals =( Can u show me on my integral?
Student from UA said:about 7: ... = \int \frac{du}{1 - u ^ 2} = ... By what formula i must integrate? becouse i can`t find it..
P.S. Maybe nobody in my group don`t know integrals like me now couse for this day i learned so much..
VietDao29 said:... = \int \frac{du}{(1 - u) (1 + u)} = \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{(1 - u) + (1 + u)}{(1 - u) (1 + u)} du = \frac{1}{2} \int \left( \frac{1 - u}{(1 - u) (1 + u)} + \frac{1 + u}{(1 - u) (1 + u)} \right) du
= \frac{1}{2} \int \left( \frac{1}{1 + u} + \frac{1}{1 - u} \right) du = ... You shoule be able to go from here. :)
There are several ways to go about integrating 1/cos(x) = sec(x) (sec(x) is another way to write 1 / cos(x)), this is one of the two common ways, the other way is:
\int \sec(x) dx = \int \sec(x) \frac{\sec(x) + \tan (x)}{\sec(x) + \tan (x)} dx = \int \frac{\sec ^ 2 x + \sec (x) \tan (x)}{\sec(x) + \tan (x)} dx
Let u = sec(x) + tan(x)
\Rightarrow du = \left( \frac{1}{\cos x} + \tan(x) \right)'_x dx = \left( \frac{\sin (x)}{\cos ^ 2 (x)} + \frac{1}{\cos ^ 2 x} \right) dx = \left( \sec(x) \tan(x) + \sec ^ 2 (x) \right) dx
The integral will become:
\int \frac{du}{u} = \ln|u| + C = \ln |\sec(x) + \tan(x)| + C

Student from UA said:AgrrrSee post 63! =)\int \frac{du}{u} = \ln|u| + C = \ln |\sec(x) + \tan(x)| + C I have the same but how to solve "\int \frac{dy}{y} = \ln|y| + C = \ln |\sec(u) + \tan(u)| + C" if x=2tgu
cristo said:Damn, I'm beaten to it this time... by a contributor. That bandwagons getting pretty full now; I may have to think of jumping on!
Student from UA said:Really? Or i`m full idiot or u are great scientist! =)
I have variant \int \frac{dy}{y} = \ln|y| + C = \ln |\sec(u) + \tan(u)| + C and want to complete it, but i`m interesting in u`r variant of solve too... =)

Ok, if x = 2 tan(u) ~~~> x / 2 = tan(u)
Note that u \in \left] - \frac{\pi}{2}; \ \frac{\pi}{2} \right[, so cos u > 0, we have:
\tan u = \frac{x}{2} \Rightarrow 1 + \tan ^ 2 u = 1 + \frac{x ^ 2}{4} \Rightarrow \sec ^ 2 u = 1 + \frac{x ^ 2}{4} \Rightarrow \sec u = \sqrt{1 + \frac{x ^ 2}{4}}, so plug it to the expression above, yields:
... = \ln \left| \sqrt{1 + \frac{x ^ 2}{4}} + \frac{x}{2} \right| + C
