20:35:16’ YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: We let a=3 and p(x)= x^4. We must figure that p’(x) =4x^3, p”(x)= 12x^2, p”’(x)= 24 x, and p””(x)= 24. So our solution is: (1/3) x^4 * e^(3x) - (1/(3^2)) * 4x^3 * e^(3x) + 1/(3^3) * 12 x^2 e^(3 x) - 1 / 3^4 * 24 x e^(3 x) + 1 / 3^5 * 24 e^(3 x). This is equal to the final solution of: ((1/3) x^4 - (4/9) x^3 + (4/9) x^2 - (8/27)x + (8/81) e^(3x) + C confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The integral is of x^4 e^(3 x). x^4 is a polynomial, and e^(3 x) is of the form e^(a x). So the integrand is of the form p(x) e^(a x) with p(x) = x^4 and a = 3. The correct formula to use is #14 We obtain p ' (x) = 4 x^3 p '' (x) = 12 x^2 p ''' (x) = 24 x p '''' (x) = 24. Thus the solution is 1 / a * p(x) e^(a x) - 1 / a^2 * p ' (x) e^(a x) + 1 / a^3 * p''(x) e^(a x) - 1 / a^4 * p ''' (x) e^(a x) + 1 / a^5 * p''''(x) e^(a x) = 1 / 3 * x^4 e^(3 x) - 1 / 3^2 * 4 x^3 e^(3 x) + 1 / 3^3 * 12 x^2 e^(3 x) - 1 / 3^4 * 24 x e^(3 x) + 1 / 3^5 * 24 e^(3 x) = ((1/3) x^4 - (4/9) x^3 + (4/9) x^2 - (8/27)x + (8/81) e^(3x) + C

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: I used formula 14 from the third section. confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given Solution: You should have used formula 14, with a = 3 and p(x) = x^4. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: Question 7.3 Problem 7 problem 7.3.7 (previously 7.3.33 1 / [ 1 + (z+2)^2 ) ]) **** What is your integral? **** Which formula from the table did you use and how did you get the integrand into the form of this formula?
.......!!!!!!!!...................................
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: We use Formula 24, which is: int( 1/(x^2 + a^2) dx). So a is a constant, we let a=1 and x= z+2. Our solution equals (1/ 1) arctan ((z+2)/1) + C. This equals: arctan (z+2) + C. confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: If you let u = x+2 then du = dz and the integrand becomes 1 / (1 + u^2). This is the derivative of arctan(u), so letting u = z+2 gives us the correct result • arctan(z+2) + C Applying the formula: z is the variable of integration in the given problem, x is the variable of integration in the table. a is a constant, so a won't be z + 2. By Formula 24 the antiderivative of 1 / (a^2 + x^2) is 1/a * arcTan(x/a). Unlike some formulas in the table, this formula is easy to figure out using techniques of integration you should already be familiar with: 1 / (a^2 + x^2) = 1 / (a^2( 1 + x^2/a^2) ) = 1/a^2 ( 1 / (1 + (x/a)^2). Let u = x / a so du = dx / a; you get integrand 1 / a * (1 / (1 + u^2) ) , which has antiderivative 1/a * arcTan(u) = 1/a * arcTan(x/a). You don't really need to know all that, but it should clarify what is constant and what is variable. Starting with int(1/ (1+(z+2)^2) dz ), let x = z + 2 so dx = dz. You get int(1/ (1+x^2) dx ), which is formula 24 with a = 1. The result is 1/1 * arcTan(x/1), or just arcTan(x). Since x = z + 2, the final form of the integral is arcTan(z+2). &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: Problem 7.4 Problem 1 7.4.1 (previously 7.4.6). Integrate 2y / ( y^3 - y^2 + y - 1)
.......!!!!!!!!...................................
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: After some manipulating and grouping, we get - 1/2 * y / (y^2 + 1) + 1/2 * 1 / (y^2 + 1) + 1/2 * 1 / (y-1) as the integrand. We take the derivative to get: -1/4 ln(y^2 + 1) + 1/2 arcTan(y) + 1/2 ln | y - 1 |. Since we divided it into two earlier, however, we now have to multiple this result by two to get the integral of: - 1/2 ln(y^2 + 1) + arcTan(y) + ln | y - 1 | + c confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: Let's integrate just y / (y^3 - y^2 + y - 1), then double the result. The denominator factors by grouping: y^3 - y^2 + y - 1 = (y^3 + y) - (y^2 + 1) = y ( y^2 + 1) - 1 ( y^2 + 1) = (y - 1) ( y^2 + 1). Using partial fractions you would then have (a y + b) /(y^2 + 1) + c /(y-1) = y / ( (y^2+1)(y-1)) where we need to evaluate a, b and c. Putting the left-hand side over a common denominator (multiply the first fraction by (y-1)/(y-1) and the second by (y^2+1) / (y^2 + 1)) we obtain: [ (a y + b)(y-1) + c(y^2+1) ] / ((y^2+1)(y-1)) = y / ((y^2+1)(y-1)). The denominators are identical so the numerators are equal, giving us (a y + b)(y-1) + c(y^2+1) = y, or a y^2 + (-a + b) y - b + c y^2 + c = y. Grouping the left-hand side: (a + c) y^2 + (-a + b) y + c - b = y. Since this must be so for all y, we have a + c = 0 (this since the coefficient of y^2 on the right is 0) -a + b = 1 (since the coefficient of y on the right is 1) c - b = 0 (since there is no constant term on the right). From the third equation we have b = c; from the first a = -c. So the second equation becomes c + c = 1, giving us 2 c = 1 so that c = 1/2. Thus b = c = 1/2 and a = -c = -1/2. Our integrand (a y + b) /(y^2 + 1) + c /(y-1) becomes 1/2 * (-y + 1 ) / (y^2 + 1) + 1/2 * 1 / (y-1), or - 1/2 * y / (y^2 + 1) + 1/2 * 1 / (y^2 + 1) + 1/2 * 1 / (y-1). An antiderivative is easily enough found with or without tables to be -1/4 ln(y^2 + 1) + 1/2 arcTan(y) + 1/2 ln | y - 1 | Doubling the result to get the integral of the given function we have - 1/2 ln(y^2 + 1) + arcTan(y) + ln | y - 1 | + c, where c now stands for an arbitrary integration constant.

Integrate (z-1)/`sqrt(2z-z^2) **** What did you get for your integral? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: We let u=2z - (z^2), so du=2-2z) dz. Therefore, -du/2 = (z-1) dz. We then get (z-1) / ‘sqrt(2z - z^2) dz = 1 / sqrt(u) * (-du/2) = - 0.5 u^-0.5 du. After integrating, this becomes -sqrt(2z- z^2). confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: If you let u = 2z - z^2 you get du = (2 - 2z) dz or -2(z-1) dz; thus (z-1) dz = -du / 2. So (z-1) / `sqrt(2z - z^2) dz = 1 / sqrt(u) * (-du/2) = - .5 u^-.5 du, which integrates to -u^.5. Translated in terms of the original variable z we get -sqrt(2z-z^2). If you let u = 2z - z^2 you get du = (2 - 2z) dz or -2(z-1) dz; thus (z-1) dz = -du / 2. So (z-1) / `sqrt(2z - z^2) dz = 1 / sqrt(u) * (-du/2) = - .5 u^-.5 du, which integrates to -u^.5. Translated in terms of the original variable z we get -sqrt(2z-z^2).

......!!!!!!!!...................................
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: We have 1/ {x(L-x)}. We let L=1 and (b-a)= 0. After integrating, we get: 1 / L ( ln(x) - ln(L-x) ) = 1 / L ln(x / (L-x). confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: a / x + b / (L-x) = [ a (L-x) + bx ] / [ x(L-x)] = [ a L + (b-a)x ] / [ x(L-x)]. This is equal to 1 / [ x(L-x) ]. So a L = 1 and (b-a) = 0. Thus a = 1 / L, and since b-a=0, b = 1/L. The original function is therefore 1 / x + b / (L-x) = 1 / L [ 1 / x + 1 / (L-x) ]. Integrating we get 1 / L ( ln(x) - ln(L-x) ) = 1 / L ln(x / (L-x) ). ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: Section 7.4 Problem 6 7.4.6 (previously 7.4.40 (3d edition #28)). integrate (y+2) / (2y^2 + 3y + 1)
......!!!!!!!!...................................
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: The expression is equal to (y + 2) / (2(y + 1/2) ( y + 1)). This equals 1/2 * (y + 2) / ((y + 1/2) ( y + 1)). This is in the form of (cx + d) / ((x - a)(x - b)). We let a= -1/2, b= -1, c= 1, and d= 2. The antiderivative is: 1/ (a- b) {(ac + d) ln|x - a| - (bc + d) ln|x - b|} + C. confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: (y+2) / (2y^2 + 3 y + 1) = (y + 2) / ( (2y + 1) ( y + 1) ) = (y + 2) / ( 2(y + 1/2) ( y + 1) ) = 1/2 * (y + 2) / ( (y + 1/2) ( y + 1) ) The expression (y + 2) / ( (y + 1/2) ( y + 1) ) is of the form (cx + d) / ( (x - a)(x - b) ) with c = 1, d = 2, a = -1/2 and b = -1. Its antiderivative is given as 1 / (a - b) [ (ac + d) ln | x - a | - (bc + d) ln | x - b | ] + C. The final result is obtained by substitution. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK STUDENT COMMENTS: I have had some trouble figuring out this section.

Simplifying the numerator we have ( (A + B) x + (5 A - 3 B) ) / ( ( x - 3) ( x + 5) ) = 1/[(x -3)(x +5)].
