SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on a student seeking assistance with specific problems from a mathematics assignment, particularly problems #3, #7, #8, and #10. The student employs substitution with ln(x) for problem #3, while expressing concerns about the clarity of their solutions. They highlight errors in differentiation and variable transformation in problems #8 and #10, indicating a need for careful review of mathematical steps and limits.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of integral calculus, specifically integration techniques and substitution methods.
  • Familiarity with limits and their application in calculus problems.
  • Knowledge of differentiation and its role in verifying mathematical results.
  • Ability to manipulate trigonometric identities and expressions in calculus.
NEXT STEPS
  • Review integration techniques, focusing on substitution methods in calculus.
  • Study the properties of limits, particularly in improper integrals.
  • Learn about differentiation rules and their application in verifying integrals.
  • Explore trigonometric identities and their use in calculus problems.
USEFUL FOR

Students in calculus courses, mathematics tutors, and anyone looking to improve their problem-solving skills in integral and differential calculus.

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.

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

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, [itex]\lim_{a\to 0} \int^2_a x^{-3} dx[/itex]

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.
