# CALC 2 - Partial Functions!!

How do I solve

Integral of 7/(16-x^2)

I know I must break down (16-x^2) into (x+4)(-x+4), but after I do that what is next?

Using the method of partial fractions, convince yourself that
7/(16-x^2)= (7/8)*[1/(4+x) + 1/(4-x)]
terms can be integrated by the method of substitution.
4+x -> u etc. You will end up with terms that are the log of 4+x and 4-x.

How would I solve the following integral with the substitution rule? Integral of: [(x^3)*(1-x^4)^5]dx Put 1-x^4 = y Then -4x^3 dx = dy Integral is then becomes: Integral of -1/4 y^5 dy ok, thanks a lot! I got it now.

how do you start this problem: integral of xe^(-2x) There are two ways: 1) Integration by parts. 2) Differentiation w.r.t. a suitably chosen parameter. Lets do 1) first. This is the "standard method", but it is often more tedious

The question is: Evaluate the improper integral for a>0. The integral is: the integral from 0 to infinity, of e^(-y/a)dy Can anyone help me solve this? When I try I get 'a', which apparently is incorrect. Thank you!

Express the integrals as the sum of partial fractions and evaluate the integral: (integral of) (x^2)dx/(x-1)(x^2 +2x+1) My work: The above integral is equal to x^2dx/(x+1)^2 (A/x-1) + (B/x+1) + (Cx+D)/(x+1)^2 = x^2 A(x+1)^2 +
