Example Questions

Example Question #11 : Solving Integrals By Substitution

Please solve the following integral. 

  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We know that the derivative of  is .

So substituting

 allows us to have 

.

This allows us to rewrite the integral as 

 which, when integrated, gives us 

.

Substiting x back in gives us the answer, 

.

Example Question #11 : Solving Integrals By Substitution

Evaluate the integral:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To evaluate the integral, we must recognize that what we were given looks very similar to the following integral:

To make our integral look like the one above, we must perform the following substiution:

Now, rewrite our integral:

It looks like the one above, so we can integrate now:

Finally, replace u with our original term:

Example Question #12 : Solving Integrals By Substitution

Evaluate the following integral:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To integrate, we must break the integral into three integrals:

The first integral is equal to 

and was found using the following rule:

The second integral is equal to

and was found using the following rule:

The final integral is found by performing the following substitution:

Now, rewrite and integrate:

The integral was found using the following rule:

Finally, rewrite the integral in terms of  by replacing  with the original term, and add all three integrals together to get a final answer of
