Example Question #31 : Derivatives & Integrals
Integrate:
This problem requires U-Substitution. Let and find .
Notice that the numerator in has common factor of 2, 3, or 6. The numerator can be factored so that the term can be a substitute. Factor the numerator using 3 as the common factor.
Substitute and terms, integrate, and resubstitute the term.
Example Question #1 : Substitution
Evaluate the following integral:
To calculate this integral, we could expand that whole binomial, but it would be very time consuming and a bit of a pain. Instead, let's use u substitution:
Given this:
We can say that
Then, plug it back into our original expression
Evaluate this integral to get
Then, replace u with what we substituted it for to get our final answer. Note because this is an indefinite integral, we need a plus c in it.
Example Question #3 : Integrals
Integrate the following using substitution.
Using substitution, we set which means its derivative is .
Substituting for , and for we have:
Now we just integrate:
Finally, we remove our substitution to arrive at an expression with our original variable:
Example Question #151 : Calculus
Evaluate the following integral:
To calculate this integral, we could expand that whole binomial, but it would be very time consuming and a bit of a pain. Instead, let's use u substitution:
Given this:
We can say that
Then, plug it back into our original expression
Evaluate this integral to get
Then, replace u with what we substituted it for to get our final answer. Note because this is an indefinite integral, we need a plus c in it.
Example Question #41 : Derivatives & Integrals
Integrate the following.
Integration by parts follows the formula:
So, our substitutions will be and
which means and
Plugging our substitutions into the formula gives us:
Since , we have:
, or
Example Question #1 : Integrals
Evaluate the following integral.
Integration by parts follows the formula:
In this problem we have so we'll assign our substitutions:
and
which means and
Including our substitutions into the formula gives us:
We can pull out the fraction from the integral in the second part:
Completing the integration gives us:
Example Question #152 : Calculus
Evaluate the following integral.
Integration by parts follows the formula:
Our substitutions will be and
which means and .
Plugging our substitutions into the formula gives us:
Look at the integral: we can pull out the and simplify the remaining as
.
We now solve the integral: , so:
Example Question #151 : Gre Subject Test: Math
Evaluate the following integral.
Integration by parts follows the formula:
.
Our substitutions are and
which means and .
Plugging in our substitutions into the formula gives us
We can pull outside of the integral.
Since , we have
Example Question #1 : Trigonometric Integrals
Integrate the following.
We can integrate the function by using substitution where so .
Just focus on integrating sine now:
The last step is to reinsert the substitution:
Example Question #2 : Trigonometric Integrals
Integrate the following.
We can integrate using substitution:
and so
Now we can just focus on integrating cosine:
Once the integration is complete, we can reinsert our substitution:
