Example Questions

Example Question #301 : Finding Integrals

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When integrating, we do the opposite of a derivative.  You increase the exponent by one and divide the function by that new power.  Since this is an indefinite integral, we have to add a  at the end of the equation.

Example Question #302 : Finding Integrals

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The antiderivative of .  The antiderivative of .  Remember, this is the opposite of a derivative.  Therefore, for our integral, we have:

Example Question #38 : Indefinite Integrals

Evaluate the following Definite Integral:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Upon early inspection of this problem, two things may be seen immediately: a trigonometric function and a composite function. One may notice that  is the derviative of , this urges us to use the u-substitution method.

Let , therefore the problem may be rewritten as:

, this is a known trigonometric integral to be , when plugging in for u, the final answer is:.

Example Question #39 : Indefinite Integrals

An identity of  is given by:

, where  is the imaginary number

Determine :

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Using the definition above: 

This reduces to:

Example Question #40 : Indefinite Integrals

Calculate the following integral:

Possible Answers:

In progress

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We can use integration by parts to solve this integral

Integration by parts states: 

Let u =  and dv=

Thus, our integral becomes:

 

Which simplifies to: , which equals :, giving us our answer
