Example Question #21 : Integrals

Find the indefinite integral.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Use Integration By Parts (IBP) to simplify the integral, using the IBP formula

Assign the variables  and  to appropriate expressions from the original integral,

Substitute these new expressions into the IBP formula and our integral becomes as follows,

                             

Use IBP again on the integral  and assign the variables  and  to appropriate expressions from the integral,

Substitute these new expressions into the IBP formula again and our full expression becomes as follows,

Integrate using the trig integration rules as follows,

So the final indefinite integral expression becomes

And the final answer is as follows,

Example Question #21 : Introduction To Integrals

Find the indefinite integral.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Make an appropriate u-substitution to simplify the integral.

Since ,

Substitute the new expressions containing  and  back into the original integral as follows,

Use partial fraction decomposition on the integral to simplify the expression as follows,

Set  then,

Set  then,

Set  then,

So,

And our integral expression becomes

Integrate each term. We will need to use the power rule and natural log integration as follows,

Where 

This results in our final indefinite integral,

Substitute back in our original u-substitution  and simplify to give us our final answer
