Calculus

The integrals were evaluated using trigonometric substitution, partial fraction decomposition, and substitution. Integral c) was solved using trigonometric substitution, resulting in x/(√(1-x^2)) + C. Integral d) diverged to infinity. Integral e) was solved using partial fraction decomposition, leading to a solution involving natural logarithms and a constant term.

Question

evaluate the following integrals

Answer

Let’s evaluate the integrals one by one.
c)
This integral can be solved using trigonometric substitution. Let , so . Then .
The integral becomes:
This integral is a standard one: .
Since , we have . So the final answer is:
d)
Let , so . Then .
When , . When , .
The integral becomes:
The integral diverges.
e)
Notice that the derivative of the denominator is , which is not quite the numerator. We can use partial fraction decomposition.
First, factor the denominator: .
So we want to find , , and such that:
Multiplying both sides by , we get:
If , then , so .
If , then , so , and .
Now, comparing the coefficients of , we have , so , which means .
Thus, the integral becomes:
We can write this as:
