Example Question #41 : Solving Integrals By Substitution
Solve the indefinite integral using trigonemtric substitution
We substitute
to solve the integral. Solving for dx,
Substituting these values into the integral yields
Solving for from
gives us
And so the indefinite integral is
Example Question #41 : Solving Integrals By Substitution
Evaluate the following indefinite integral:
The integrand is composed of a function as well as its derivative multiplied by a constant. Hence, we can find the antiderivative via u-substitution as follows:
Let . Then , and so . Thus,
Example Question #42 : Solving Integrals By Substitution
Evaluate the following indefinite integral:
The integrand can be evaluated by means of the u-substitution method, as follows:
Let . Then , and so
Example Question #43 : Solving Integrals By Substitution
Evaluate the following indefinite integral:
Here, an understanding of trigonometric identities, as well as the appropriate selection of a dummy variable for u-substitution, is required. To figure out which function to represent "u" (cosine or sine), simply re-write the integrand as
Remembering that ,
Now, we can substitute to yield
because if , then , which implies .
At this point, all that is left to do is expand the polynomial and evaluate the integrand:
Example Question #625 : Finding Integrals
Find the value of
.
To perform this integration, we use a substitution.
Since the derivative of is , we choose our substitution to be .
Differentiating gives us,
.
Now we can substitute this into our integral. We will have,
.
Along with this substitution, we must also change our limits of and . To do so, we take these values and plug them in for in the formula .
Doing so, we obtain and .
Now our integral will be transformed as follows,
.
This integral is now easy to integrate, for the function integrates to .
Thus we have,
.
Therefore, the answer to the integral is,
.
Example Question #46 : Solving Integrals By Substitution
Evaluate the following integral:
To integrate, we must first make the following substitution:
Now, rewrite the integral in terms of u and integrate:
The integral was performed using the following rule:
Note that the rule contains a fraction in front of the inverse trig function. Do not confuse this fraction with the fraction coming from the u substitution!
Finally, replace u with our original term and multiply the constants:
Example Question #631 : Finding Integrals
Evaluate the following integral:
To evaluate the integral, we can first use the fact that cosine and secant are inverses of each other, so they cancel:
Now, we must make the following substitution:
Rewriting the integral in terms of u and integrating, we get
We used the following rule to integrate:
Finally, replace u with our original x term:
Example Question #48 : Solving Integrals By Substitution
To integrate this problem, you have to use "u" substitution. Assign . Then, find du, which is 2x. That works out since we can then replace the other x in the original problem. We will have to offset the 2 though: . Now plug in all the parts: . Now, integrate as normal, remembering to raise the exponent by 1 and then also putting that result on the bottom: . Simplify, add a C because it is an indefinite integral, and substitute your original expression back in: .
Example Question #41 : Solving Integrals By Substitution
To integrate this problem, use "u" substitution. Assign , . Substitute everything in so you can integrate: . Recall that when there is a single variable on the denominator, the integral is ln of that term. Therefore, after integrating, you get . Sub back in your original expression and add C because it is an indefinite integral: .
Example Question #50 : Solving Integrals By Substitution
Evaluate the following integral using the substitution method:
Make the substitution:
