assume you mean (1+u) du /(3u+2u^2) which is (1+u) du/[u(3+2u)] which is 1 du/[u(3+2u)] + u du/[u(3+2u)] now let's see if we can expand 1/[u(3+2u)] into a/u + b/(3+2u) = 1/ [u(3+2u)] a(3+2u) + b(u) = 1 3 a = 1 so a = 1/3 2a + b = 0 so b = -2/3 so we have 1/[u(3+2u)] = (1/3...

Use the fact that , for f(u) = arcsin u, df/du = 1 / sqrt(1 - u^2) Use the chain rule: df/dx = df/du* du/dx Let u = 3x, so du/dx = 3 df/dx = 3 / sqrt(1 - 9x^2)

Use the table of integrals to find int cos^4 3x dx I found the table: ∫cos^n u du = (1/n)cos^(n-1)u sinu + (n-1/n)∫sin^(n-2)u du = 1/4 cos^(4-1)u sinu + (4-1/4)∫sin^(4-2) u du so what i did the problem: let u=3x then du=3dx =1/4*1/3 cos^3u sinu + ...

Integral Calculus
To solve that last integral, you have to use the substitution rule. u= x^2 + 1 du= 2x Therefore the integral becomes: -1/2∫(2/u) du Factor out the 2 -∫1/u du Integrate -ln(u) Which is equal to -ln(x^2 +1) Since u= x^2 + 1

Let u^2 = x+5 2u du =dx x = u^2 - 5 x^2 - 3 = u^4 - 10u^2 + 22 Now the integrand becomes (u^4 - 10u^2 + 22)(u)(2u du) = 2u^6 - 20u^5 + 44u^2 du That is easy to integrate. Substituting back to x at the end you have 2/21 (3x^2 - 12x + 19) (x+5)^(3/2) + C

First, I think Reiny dropped a factor of 1/2 in his integral (-x/2, not -x), but that's not a big worry (except that the answer is wrong!) :-) To integrate x√(1-x^2), substitute u=1-x^2 Then you have du = 2x dx x√(1-x^2) = √u du/2 = 1/2 u^(1/2...

If you let u = x^3 -6, then du = 2 x^2 dx and the integral can be rewritten as int (1/2) u^3 du which is (1/6)u^4/4 = (1/6)(x^3-6)^4

You may have forgotten a factor of -2: ∫(2-x^2)^4 x dx if u = (2-x^2), du = -2x dx, so the integral is ∫u^4 (-1/2) du = 1/5 (2-x^2)^5 (-1/2) + c because you started out with x dx, but needed -2x dx to get du.
