Homework Statement



integrate the function F(t)=1-exp(-∫1/t+2 dt) limit of integration from 0 to t

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



F(t)=1-exp(-ln(t+2)+ln2)
=1-exp(ln(2-t))*exp(ln2)
=1+2t-4
=2t-3

what do you think about my solutions?

I think it is full of mistakes. For one thing, it isn't clear whether your original exponential ise^{-\int {\frac 1 t + 2}\, dt}\hbox{ or } e^{-\int \frac{1}{t+2}\,dt} In your first step you have treated it both ways and you are careless with your - signs and simplification. Try again.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
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...
