Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a student seeking help with ten integration problems as part of their homework. The student has missed classes due to illness and is looking for guidance on how to approach these integrals, which cover various techniques in integration.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Technical explanation
  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • The student presents ten integrals and expresses urgency due to their missed lessons.
  • Some participants emphasize the importance of showing work before receiving help.
  • There are suggestions for specific techniques, such as integration by substitution for certain integrals.
  • Participants provide hints and encouragement, reminding the student to stay calm and take their time.
  • Discussions arise about the correctness of the student's attempts and the methods used, with some participants pointing out mistakes and offering corrections.
  • Different participants suggest various approaches for specific integrals, including trigonometric substitutions and integration by parts.
  • There is a mix of supportive comments and technical guidance, with some participants expressing frustration over the student's lack of understanding of certain concepts.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for the student to show their work and engage with the problems. However, there are multiple competing views on the methods to solve the integrals, and the discussion remains unresolved regarding the best approaches for each integral.

Contextual Notes

Some participants note that the student has missed significant lessons, which may affect their understanding of integration techniques. There are also indications of varying levels of familiarity with integration among the participants, leading to different suggestions and corrections.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be useful for students struggling with integration techniques, particularly those who have missed classes or are seeking peer support in understanding complex mathematical concepts.

Question 10 is just another application of the product rule. Let u=(1-3x) and dv=cos(2x)

bollocks and stuff

Post #67, and post #71 should answer that:
(1 - 3x) is an algebraic function, and cos(2x) is a trig function. The one that stands before the other in the sequence LIATE should be chosen for u, and the rest for dv. So what should be u, and dv this time?

\int cos2x dx How to do?

LIATE -what is it? givee me link . i want read it.

You should let u = 2x.
When you have to deal with:
\int \sin(ax + b) dx
\int \cos(ax + b) dx
\int \tan(ax + b) dx
\int e ^ {ax + b} dx
\int \frac{1}{ax + b} dx
...
You should let u = ax + b
Or, in general, when deadling all the function f(ax + b), where \int f(x) dx can be found easily, make the u-substitution u = ax + b.

LIATE -what is it? givee me link . i want read it.
It's right in the post #67. :)

Well.. we're not all from the USA... in fact I don't think anyone who helped in this thread is!

Anyway, I'm glad you got your work done. Good luck in the future.

And why would you say that?

It was like reading a really dramatic story that I didn't know the ending to. At times, I thought the poor guy wasn't going to get the answers he needed. But, he kept working hard, and eventually came through. Then he proclaimed VICTORY, and thanked the USA! It was straight out of Hollywood.

Usually I don't read through 100-post threads, but this was a next-clicker (page-turner).
