Example Question #432 : Finding Integrals

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

First, chop up the fraction into three separate terms:

Now, integrate. Remember to raise the exponent by 1 and also put that result on the denominator:

Remember to add a C because it is an indefinite integral:

Example Question #433 : Finding Integrals

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Remember that when integrating, raise the exponent by 1 and also put that result on the denominator:

Simplify to get:

Add C because it is an indefinite integral:

Example Question #151 : Indefinite Integrals

Find .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Using integration by parts, let , , , and .

Use the formula to get .

Then, you can use substitution for the integral in the new equation. If , then

Using substitution, the second half of the expression becomes, .

If you use the Power Rule, 

If you substitute this back in, you get , and you can simplify this to .

Example Question #434 : Finding Integrals

Solve .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Splitting up the integral with the Sum Rule turns the problem into:.

We can then use the Power Rule to solve the equation:

, which can be simplified to .

Example Question #781 : Integrals

Find: 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

First, FOIL the products so we have: .

Then, we can just use the Power Rule:

.

Example Question #152 : Indefinite Integrals

Solve: 

Possible Answers:

Can't be solved

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve the equation, one should know that the integral of  is , and the integral of . Using these rules and pulling out the constant, we get   .

Example Question #2537 : Calculus Ii

Solve the indefinite integral.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve the indefinite integral

we use u-substitution, setting . We derive that equation to get  and so the integral becomes

The integral then becomes

and substituting back in for  yields 

Example Question #782 : Integrals

Solve the indefinite integral.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The antiderivative of  is .

As such,

Example Question #2539 : Calculus Ii

Possible Answers:

None of the Above

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Step 1: We will first take the antiderivative of .. To do this, we add  to the exponent. We then divide the entire term by the new exponent..

So, 

Step 2: We will take the antiderivative of  We will apply the same rules that we used in Step 1...



We will add the antiderivatives from both steps together..

(Recall that when taking the indefinite integral of a function, +C must be added to the integrated function as it represents any constants that may be present.)

The final answer is: 

Example Question #2531 : Calculus Ii

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

First, chop up the fraction into two separate terms:

Now integrate:

Add a C because it is an indefinite integral:
