SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving three specific integrals: (lnx)^2 dx, e^x sin(3x) dx, and the definite integral from 0 to π of sin^3(x) dx. The first integral can be approached using the substitution method, where lnx is set to u, leading to x=e^u and dx=e^u du. For the second integral, integration by parts is recommended, while the third integral can be simplified using the identity sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1. Participants emphasize the importance of showing work for clarity and understanding.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of integral calculus
  • Familiarity with substitution methods in integration
  • Knowledge of integration by parts
  • Basic trigonometric identities

Homework Statement



I have three separate equations that I would really appreciate your help on.

Homework Equations



The first is (lnx)^2 dx
The Second is e^x sin(3x) dx
The third is a definitive integral between pi and zero, sin^3(x) dx

The Attempt at a Solution



I am unsure as to how to go about the second two, but would the first go something like
lnx=u
x=e^y
dx=e^u du

Integration comes quite badly to me. I would appreciate a step by step to see what I am actually meant to be doing.

That works, how did you continue from here?

2) Works very similar to the second part of 1) try it out and show us where you get stuck (integration by parts).

3)Use [itex]\sin^2x+\cos^2x=1[/itex].

You will need to show your work, because we don't hand out answers.
