Click For Summary
A student from Ukraine is seeking help with ten integration problems due to illness that caused missed lessons. They found a website that provides only answers for a fee, which they cannot afford. Forum members emphasize the importance of showing work before receiving help and suggest methods like substitution and integration by parts. The student expresses frustration over their situation and struggles with understanding the integration techniques, while also trying to balance other coursework. The discussion highlights the challenges of learning complex topics under pressure and the supportive nature of the forum community.

Okay, have you read the link I gave you in post #55?
 
  • #63
ok. explain me how solve " ln |sec u + tan u| + C" if x=2tgu
 
  • #64
U know . I`ve done 3 and 4. =)
See in atach and say right or wrong.
In 4 a had two variants of result. Please tell which off them is right.

You did number 3, and 4 correctly. Congratulations. :) In number 4, you can leave it in the form:
\frac{2}{\ln 2} 2 ^ {\frac{x}{2}} + C, it's okay.

Number 5 is a little bit messy.
When doing Integration by Parts, you should remember the word LIATE. It stands for Logarithmic, Inverse Trig, Algebraic, Trig, Exponential. That is the order to go to pick your "u".
So in your problem, ln(x) is a logarithmic function, and x ^ {- \frac{1}{2}} is algebraic, and u of course will be ln(x), since logarithmic stands before algebraic. The rest should be dv:
\int \frac{\ln x}{\sqrt{x}} dx = \int \ln (x) x ^ {-\frac{1}{2}} dx, your u, and dv will be:
u = \ln (x) \quad dv = x ^ {-\frac{1}{2}} dx
So what should your du, and v be? Can you go from here? :)

P.S: And you should also note that "dx" is often put at the end of the expression. Say x dx, or x2dx, you should not write dx x, or dx x2.

with 10... i don`t know how to start! Please people help.
Remind :
7 - not competed. explain me how solve " ln (sec u + tan u) + C" if x=2tgu.
9 - please where tell where a I have mistake.
10 -Try to solve it... or tell how to start...
And that's all! =) My home work will be completed... Really please help, becouse now 20.25 pm on my clock... and i must go to bed... becouse i`m early get up, nearly 6 o`clock. (university is far from me)
 
  • #69
ok.. ill try to make 9th =) u sad 5 but it`s 9th =)
 
  • #70
Question 10 is just another application of the product rule. Let u=(1-3x) and dv=cos(2x)

With respect to question 9, I'm afraid I can't understand your writing; but if you follow VietDao29's instructions, you should obtain the correct answer.
 
  • #71
For 10 use integration by parts... Take u=(1-3x) and dv=cos(2x)dx.

Damn, I'm beaten to it this time... by a contributor :approve: . That bandwagons getting pretty full now; I may have to think of jumping on!

i mean.. show integration by part becouse not has quite understood
 
  • #74
And what about the 7( " ln (sec u + tan u) + C" if x=2tgu.)?
 
  • #75
Awww, here's 0.24 A.M. =.=" 20h25 is still early, you should stay up a little bit more. :)

7. When seeing some integral in this form:
\int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{x ^ 2 + \alpha ^ 2}}, one should think right away about making the trig-substitution x = \alpha \tan t , \quad t \in \left] -\frac{\pi}{2} ; \ \frac{\pi}{2} \right[
It goes like this:
x = \alpha \tan t \Rightarrow dx = (\alpha \tan t)'_t dt = \alpha \frac{1}{\cos ^ 2 t} dt
Your integral will become:
... = \int \frac{\frac{dt}{\cos ^ 2 t}}{\sqrt{\alpha ^ 2 + \alpha ^ 2 \tan ^ 2 t}} = \int \frac{dt}{ \cos ^ 2 t \sqrt{\alpha ^ 2 \left(1 + \tan ^ 2 t \right)}}
= \int \frac{dt}{\cos ^ 2 t \sqrt{\frac{1}{\cos ^ 2 t}}}, since t \in \left] -\frac{\pi}{2} ; \ \frac{\pi}{2} \right[, so cos t > 0, we have:
... = \int \frac{dt}{\cos ^ 2 t \sqrt{\frac{1}{\cos ^ 2 t}}} = \int \frac{dt}{\cos ^ 2 x \frac{1}{\cos t}} = \int \frac{dt}{\cos t}
Now the power of cosine function is odd (in this case, 1), we'll make the substitution u = sin x, otherwise, when the power of sine function is odd, we make the substitution u = cos x.
... = \int \frac{\cos t dt}{\cos ^ 2 t} = \int \frac{\cos t dt}{1 - \sin ^ 2 t}
Now let u = sin t, du = cos t dt, so the integral becomes:
... = \int \frac{du}{1 - u ^ 2} = ..., pretty straightforward from here. Can you go from here? :)

--------------

Number 10, Integration by Parts, you should remember LIATE. :) See post #67. What should u and dv be?

--------------

Number 9, you should do it using u = \ln (x) \quad dv = x ^ {-\frac{1}{2}} dx. It should be easier.

Btw, you've differentiated incorrectly. You still have ln(x) in your du, so it's impossible to do it by letting u = \ln x x ^ {-\frac{1}{2}} \quad dv = dx:
u = \ln x x ^ {-\frac{1}{2}} \Rightarrow du = \left( (\ln(x))' x ^ {-\frac{1}{2}} + \ln (x) \left( x ^ {-\frac{1}{2}} \right) ' \right) dx
= \left( \frac{1}{x \sqrt x} - \frac{1}{2} \frac{\fbox{\ln(x)}}{x ^ {\frac{3}{2}}} \right) dx

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

Whooops, I did mistype it. There should be one more E at the end, which means it should read: LIATE, E for exponential. Editing the post now. o:)

about 9.. u right i forgot that (uv)`= u`v+v`u

Student from UA said:
I`ve started... and stop. :bugeye: :confused: 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?

dv = x ^ {- \frac{1}{2}} dx \Rightarrow v = \int dv = \int x ^ {- \frac{1}{2}} dx = 2 \sqrt{x} + C = 2 \sqrt{x} (C can be any constant), so we choose C = 0 to make it look more simple.
You can write dv = x ^ {- \frac{1}{2}} dx \Rightarrow v = 2 \sqrt{x} for short. :)

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..
 
  • #81
in 9th result : 2ln(x)sqrtx - 4sqrtx +c right?

Yes right... i`ve just compare with cal101 =) he he =)
 
  • #82
there is 7 and 10 not comleted... agrrr

... = \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 should 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

VietDao29 u are the monster of Integrals! My teacher is stupid if her compare with u.

\int \frac{du}{u} = \ln|u| + C = \ln |\sec(x) + \tan(x)| + C

Agrrr:mad: See 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

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... =)

Whoops, I didn't read the whole a 6-page thread. Just skim through the main discussion :blushing: :biggrin:.
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

Student: You have been told how to change your function back into a function of x already. Substitute in a have a play...

Err... well, this maybe the result of missing so many lectures. But don't worry, you'll keep up with others soon enough. :)
In these cases, we should let t = 1 + u, and k = 1 - u ~~~> dt = du, and dk = -du, we have:

... = \frac{1}{2} \left( \int \frac{dt}{t} - \int \frac{dk}{k} \right) = \frac{1}{2} (\ln|t| - \ln|k|) + C = \frac{1}{2} \ln \left| \frac{t}{k} \right| + C = \frac{1}{2} \ln \left| \frac{1 + u}{1 - u} \right| + C :)

U are really grandmaster. How old are u? tell me please =)
