I tried to post this before, but then when I hit post I was forced to see 5 other posts and it doesn't look like my post got put up, but I apologize if it did and I can't find it. Anyways, here we go again:

This assignment it kind of important, especially as the class is coming to an end. If I could get any of these problems checked I would greatly appreciate it. As you can see I am having some trouble on #3.

Thanks.

3) Just let ln(x) = u, then du= (1/x) dx and the integral is just \int u^2 du

7) is correct but set out extremely poorly. (x= infinity - x=1)??

8) You have the correct reasoning on the second line, the first line is the working for a different question, \lim_{a\to 0} \int^2_a x^{-3} dx

10) I can see that's incorrect because when you differentiate your result, you get factors of pi that you didn't account for. Check it.
 
And in 2) between the third and fourth lines a cos^2(2*phi) magically changes into a cos^2(phi). There should be a 4*phi term in the answer.

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...
