Question: `qQuery problem 6.2.2 integrate x e^(-x)

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution: To solve this integral, we first need to identify dv, v, u, and du. We find that u = x and du = dx. Dv = e^-x and v = -e^-x. Now we can simply use the formula to find the integral. So the integral = x(e^-x) – Int(e^-x)dx, which we find is equal to x(e^-x) – e^-x.

Given Solution:

`a We let

u = x

du = dx

dv = e^(-x)dx

v = -e^(-x)

Using u v - int(v du):

(x)(-e^(-x)) - int(-e^(-x)) dx

Integrate:

x(-e^(-x)) - (e^(-x)) + C

Factor out e^(-x):

e^(-x) (-x-1) + C.

Question: `qQuery problem 6.2.3 integrate x^2 e^(-x)

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution: To solve this integral, we first need to identify u, du, dv, and v. We find that u = x^2 and du = dx = 2x. Dv = e^-x and v = -e^-x. Now to solve the integral, we can simply put these values into the given formula. So the integral = (x^2)(e^-x) – Int(2x(-e^-x)). We can use integration by parts again to solve the integral in our answer. For this integral, we find that u = x and du = dx. Dv = -e^-x, and v= e^-x. Now we can make our whole expression = (x^2)(e^-x) – ((x)(e^-x) –In(e^-x)dx, which simplifies to (x^2)(e^-x) – ((x)(2e^-x).

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`a We perform two integrations by parts.

First we use

u=x^2

dv=e^-x)dx

v= -e^(-x)

to obtain

-x^(2)e^(-x) - int [ -e^(-x) * 2x dx] =-x^(2)e^(-x) +2int[xe^(-x) dx]

We then integrate x e^-x dx:

u=x

dv=e^(-x)dx

v= -e^(-x)

from which we obtain

-x e^(-x) - int(-e^(-x) dx) = -x e^(-x) - e^(-x) + C

Substituting this back into

-x^(2)e^(-x) +2int[xe^(-x) dx] we obtain

-x^(2)e^(-x) + 2 ( -x e^-x - e^-x + C) =

-e^(-x) * [x^(2) + 2x +2] + C.

Question: `qQuery problem 6.2.18 integral of 1 / (x (ln(x))^3)

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution: To solve the integral, we can first identify u and du. We find that u = lnx and du = 1/x. Now we can take the integral of our new expression, 1/u^3 or u^-3, using our integration rules. We find that our integral is -1/2u^2 + C. Now we can finally rewrite our expression as -1/2(lnx)^2+C when we substitute u back in.

confidence rating:3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`a Let u = ln(x) so that du = 1 / x dx. This gives you 1 / u^3 * du and the rest is straightforward:

1/u^3 is a power function so

int(1 / u^3 du) = -1 / (2 u^2) + c.

Substituting u = ln(x) we have

-1 / (2 ln(x)^2) + c.

Question: `qQuery problem 6.2.32 (was 6.2.34) integral of ln(1+2x)

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution: To solve the integral, we first need to identify u, du, dv, and v. We find that u = ln(1+2x) and du = 2/(1+2x). Dv = dx, so v=x. Now using the formula, we find that our integral = (ln(1+2x))(x) – Int(x (1/(1+2x)). So now we can take the integral of the second half of this expression using the formula. For this integral, we find that u = 1+2x and du = 2. Dv = du/2 and v = (u-1)/2. This makes our new integral = u/4 –lnu, which when u is substituted back in equals (1+2x)/4-ln(1+2x). When we put our whole expression together, we find that it = x ln(1+2x)-2((2x)/4-1/4ln(1+2x)). Now to find the area from 0 to 1, we can use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Area = (1) ln(1+2(1))-2((2(1))/4-1/4ln(1+2(1))) – (0 ln(1+2(0))-2((2(0))/4-1/4ln(1+2(0))) = .648.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`a Let

u = ln ( 1 + 2x)

du = 2 / (1 + 2x) dx

dv = dx

v = x.

You get

u v - int(v du) = x ln(1+2x) - int( x * 2 / (1+2x) ) =

x ln(1+2x) - 2 int( x / (1+2x) ).

The integral is done by substituting w = 1 + 2x, so dw = 2 dx and dx = dw/2, and x = (w-1)/2.

Thus x / (1+2x) dx becomes { [ (w-1)/2 ] / w } dw/2 = { 1/4 - 1/(4w) } dw.

Antiderivative is w/4 - 1/4 ln(w), which becomes (2x) / 4 - 1/4 ln(1+2x).

So x ln(1+2x) - 2 int( x / (1+2x) ) becomes x ln(1+2x) - 2 [ (2x) / 4 - 1/4 ln(1+2x) ] or

x ln(1+2x) + ln(1+2x)/2 - x.

Integrating from x = 0 to x = 1 we obtain the result .648 approx.
