1. Summary
1.1 Differential of a Function
Before diving into integration, we must understand the concept of a differential. Think back to derivatives: when we write \(\frac{dy}{dx}\), we’re describing the rate of change of \(y\) with respect to \(x\). But what are \(dy\) and \(dx\) individually?
Intuitive Understanding: Imagine you move a tiny distance \(dx\) along the \(x\)-axis. The differential \(dy\) tells you approximately how much the function value changes. For a linear function like \(y = 3x\), moving \(dx = 0.1\) units in \(x\) causes \(dy = 3 \cdot 0.1 = 0.3\) units of change in \(y\). For non-linear functions, \(dy\) gives the best linear approximation of the actual change.
Formal Definition: If \(y = f(x)\) is a differentiable function on an interval \(I\), then the relationship between the derivative and the differential is given by:
\[ f'(x) = \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}f(x) \iff dy = df(x) = f'(x)dx \]
We call \(df(x)\) the differential of \(f\). The differential represents an infinitesimal change in the function value corresponding to an infinitesimal change \(dx\) in the independent variable.
Why This Matters for Integration: The notation \(\int f(x)dx\) literally means “sum up (integrate) all the infinitesimal changes \(f(x)dx\) as \(x\) varies.” Understanding differentials helps us see why substitution works and makes the notation more meaningful.
1.1.1 Properties of Differentials
Differentials satisfy several important algebraic properties that mirror the rules of differentiation:
- \(d(Cf) = Cdf\) for any constant \(C \in \mathbb{R}\)
- \(d(f \pm g) = df \pm dg\)
- \(d(f \cdot g) = g \, df + f \, dg\) (Product Rule)
- \(d\left(\frac{f}{g}\right) = \frac{g \, df - f \, dg}{g^2}\) where \(g \neq 0\) (Quotient Rule)
- \(d(f(g(x))) = f'(g(x))g'(x)dx\) (Chain Rule)
For example, \(d(\tan x) = \frac{1}{\cos^2 x} dx\) and \(d\left(e^{\cos x + 5}\right) = -\sin x \cdot e^{\cos x + 5} dx\).
1.2 Antiderivatives and Indefinite Integrals
1.2.1 The Inverse Problem of Differentiation
Differentiation asks: given a function \(F\), what is its derivative \(f = F'\)? Integration addresses the inverse problem: given a function \(f\), find a function \(F\) whose derivative equals \(f\).
Real-World Motivation: Suppose you know your car’s velocity \(v(t)\) at every moment, but you want to find your position \(s(t)\). Since velocity is the derivative of position (\(v = s'\)), you need to “undo” differentiation—this is integration! If \(v(t) = 60\) mph (constant), then \(s(t) = 60t + C\), where \(C\) depends on where you started.
Another Example: If you know the rate at which water flows into a tank (\(f(t)\) gallons per minute), integration tells you the total amount of water in the tank at any time.
Formally, let \(f\) be a continuous function defined on a non-empty interval \(I\). We seek a function \(F\) such that:
\[ F'(x) = f(x), \quad \forall x \in I \]
This function \(F\) is called an antiderivative of \(f\).
1.2.2 Definition of Antiderivative
A function \(F : I \to \mathbb{R}\) is called an antiderivative (or primitive function) of \(f\) if and only if \(F\) is differentiable on \(I\) and:
\[ F'(x) = f(x) \iff dF(x) = f(x)dx, \quad \forall x \in I \]
For example:
- \(F(x) = \frac{1}{3}e^{x^3}\) is an antiderivative of \(f(x) = x^2e^{x^3}\) on \(\mathbb{R}\)
- \(F(x) = \frac{1}{10}\sqrt{(2x + 1)^5} - \frac{1}{6}\sqrt{(2x + 1)^3}\) is an antiderivative of \(f(x) = x\sqrt{2x + 1}\) on \((-1/2, \infty)\)
1.2.3 Uniqueness of Antiderivatives
A fundamental theorem states: For every continuous function \(f\) defined on an interval \(I\), there exists an antiderivative \(F\). Moreover, any two antiderivatives of \(f\) differ by at most a constant. That is, if \(F\) and \(G\) are both antiderivatives of \(f\), then \(G(x) = F(x) + C\) for some constant \(C \in \mathbb{R}\).
Why Constants? Think about it: if \(F'(x) = f(x)\), then \((F(x) + 5)' = F'(x) + 0 = f(x)\) as well! Adding any constant doesn’t change the derivative. Conversely, if two functions have the same derivative everywhere, they can only differ by a constant—like two parallel roads that never intersect but maintain the same direction (slope) at every point.
Example: Both \(x^2\) and \(x^2 + 7\) are antiderivatives of \(2x\), because: \[\frac{d}{dx}(x^2) = 2x \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{d}{dx}(x^2 + 7) = 2x\]
1.2.4 Definition of Indefinite Integral
Let \(F\) be an antiderivative of \(f\) on interval \(I\). The expression \(F(x) + C\), where \(C \in \mathbb{R}\) is an arbitrary constant, is called the indefinite integral of \(f\) on \(I\). We denote it by:
\[ \int f(x)dx = F(x) + C \iff F'(x) = f(x), \quad \forall x \in I \]
Here:
- \(\int\) is the integral sign
- \(f(x)\) is the integrand
- \(dx\) indicates integration with respect to \(x\)
- \(C\) is the constant of integration
The indefinite integral represents a family of curves, each differing by a vertical translation. Geometrically, all antiderivatives of \(f\) are parallel curves in the coordinate plane.
1.3 Basic Properties of Indefinite Integrals
Let \(f\) be a continuous (integrable) function, and \(C \in \mathbb{R}\) be an arbitrary constant. Then:
- \(\left(\int f(x)dx\right)' = f(x)\) — differentiation undoes integration
- \(d\left(\int f(x)dx\right) = f(x)dx\) — taking the differential of an integral returns the integrand
- \(\int dF(x) = F(x) + C\) — integration undoes differentiation
- \(\int (f_1(x) + \dots + f_n(x)) \, dx = \int f_1(x)dx + \dots + \int f_n(x)dx\) — linearity (sum rule)
- \(\int \alpha f(x)dx = \alpha \int f(x)dx\) for all \(\alpha \in \mathbb{R}^*\) — constant multiple rule
Note: Property (5) does not hold when \(\alpha = 0\) because \(\int 0 \, dx = C\) (any constant), not necessarily zero.
1.4 Basic Integration Rules
These are the fundamental formulas derived from reversing differentiation rules:
- \(\int a \, dx = ax + C\) where \(a \in \mathbb{R}\)
- \(\int x^a \, dx = \frac{x^{a+1}}{a + 1} + C\) where \(a \in \mathbb{R} \setminus \{-1\}\)
- More generally: \(\int (f(x))^a f'(x)dx = \frac{(f(x))^{a+1}}{a + 1} + C\)
- \(\int \frac{dx}{x} = \ln |x| + C\) where \(x \neq 0\)
- More generally: \(\int \frac{f'(x)}{f(x)} dx = \ln |f(x)| + C\) where \(f(x) \neq 0\)
- \(\int \sin(ax + b)dx = -\frac{1}{a} \cos(ax + b) + C\) where \(a \in \mathbb{R}^*, b \in \mathbb{R}\)
- \(\int \cos(ax + b)dx = \frac{1}{a} \sin(ax + b) + C\)
- \(\int \sec^2(ax + b)dx = \frac{1}{a} \tan(ax + b) + C\)
- \(\int \csc^2(ax + b)dx = -\frac{1}{a} \cot(ax + b) + C\)
- \(\int \sinh(ax + b)dx = \frac{1}{a} \cosh(ax + b) + C\)
- \(\int \cosh(ax + b)dx = \frac{1}{a} \sinh(ax + b) + C\)
- \(\int \frac{dx}{\cosh^2(ax + b)} = \frac{1}{a} \tanh(ax + b) + C\)
- \(\int \frac{dx}{\sinh^2(ax + b)} = -\frac{1}{a} \coth(ax + b) + C\)
- \(\int a^{\alpha x + \beta} dx = \frac{a^{\alpha x + \beta}}{\alpha \ln(a)} + C\) where \(a \in (0, \infty) \setminus \{1\}, \alpha \in \mathbb{R}^*, \beta \in \mathbb{R}\)
- Special case: \(\int e^{\alpha x + \beta} dx = \frac{1}{\alpha} e^{\alpha x + \beta} + C\)
- \(\int \frac{dx}{a^2 + x^2} = \frac{1}{a} \arctan\left(\frac{x}{a}\right) + C\) where \(a \in \mathbb{R}^*\)
- \(\int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}} = \arcsin\left(\frac{x}{a}\right) + C\) where \(a \in \mathbb{R}^*\)
- \(\int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{x^2 \pm a^2}} = \ln \left| x + \sqrt{x^2 \pm a^2} \right| + C\) where \(a \in \mathbb{R}^*\)
1.4.1 Important Remark on Elementary Functions
Not every continuous function has an antiderivative expressible in terms of elementary functions (polynomials, exponentials, logarithms, trigonometric functions, and their compositions). Examples of functions whose integrals cannot be expressed in elementary form include:
\[ e^{-x^2}, \quad \frac{\sin x}{x}, \quad \frac{\cos x}{x}, \quad \frac{dx}{\ln x}, \quad \sqrt{1 + x^3}, \quad \sqrt{1 - x^4} \]
These integrals are studied as special functions (like the error function, sine integral, etc.).
1.5 Integration by Substitution (Change of Variable)
1.5.1 The Substitution Method
The substitution method is a powerful technique for evaluating integrals of the form \(\int f(g(x)) g'(x) \, dx\). It works by transforming a complicated integral into a simpler one through a change of variable.
Procedure:
- Substitute \(u = g(x)\) and compute \(du = g'(x) \, dx\)
- Rewrite the integral as \(\int f(u) \, du\)
- Integrate with respect to \(u\)
- Replace \(u\) by \(g(x)\) in the final answer
Theorem (Substitution Rule): If \(u = g(x)\) is a differentiable function whose range is an interval \(I\), and \(f\) is continuous on \(I\), then:
\[ \int f(g(x)) g'(x) \, dx = \int f(u) \, du \]
where \(u = g(x)\) and \(du = g'(x) \, dx\).
1.5.2 When to Use Substitution
The Key Insight: Substitution works when you can identify a “function inside a function” (composition) along with its derivative. The magic happens when the derivative of the inner function is already present (or nearly present) in the integrand!
Pattern Recognition: Look for integrals where:
- The integrand is a composite function \(f(g(x))\) multiplied by a factor resembling \(g'(x)\)
- A substitution simplifies the integrand significantly
- The integrand contains expressions like \(\sqrt{ax + b}\), \(e^{g(x)}\), \(\sin(g(x))\), etc.
Example with Explanation: Consider \(\int x\sqrt{1 + x^2} \, dx\).
- We see \(\sqrt{1 + x^2}\) which is a function of \((1 + x^2)\)
- Notice that the derivative of \(1 + x^2\) is \(2x\), and we have an \(x\) in the integrand!
- Substitute \(u = 1 + x^2\), so \(du = 2x \, dx\), which means \(x \, dx = \frac{1}{2} du\)
\[ \int x\sqrt{1 + x^2} \, dx = \int \sqrt{u} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \, du = \frac{1}{2}\int u^{1/2} \, du = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{3}u^{3/2} + C = \frac{1}{3}(1 + x^2)^{3/2} + C \]
The “Chain Rule in Reverse”: Substitution undoes the chain rule. If you remember that \(\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] = f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)\), then integrating \(f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)\) gives back \(f(g(x))\)!
1.5.3 Hermite-Ostrogradski Method
For rational functions where direct substitution is inefficient, the Hermite-Ostrogradski method separates the integral into a rational part (computed algebraically) and a logarithmic part (requiring partial fractions).
For \(\int \frac{P(x)}{Q(x)} dx\) where \(Q\) has repeated roots, write:
\[ \int \frac{P(x)}{Q(x)} dx = \frac{R(x)}{S(x)} + \int \frac{T(x)}{U(x)} dx \]
where \(S(x)\) is the GCD of \(Q(x)\) and \(Q'(x)\), and \(U(x) = Q(x)/S(x)\) has only simple roots.
1.6 Integration by Parts
1.6.1 The Integration by Parts Formula
The integration by parts formula is the integral analogue of the product rule for differentiation. It states:
\[ \int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du \]
Equivalently:
\[ \int u(x) v'(x) \, dx = u(x)v(x) - \int u'(x) v(x) \, dx \]
Where Does This Come From? Remember the product rule: \((uv)' = u'v + uv'\). Integrate both sides: \[uv = \int u'v \, dx + \int uv' \, dx\] Rearranging gives us integration by parts!
The Big Picture: This technique trades one integral for another. If we can’t integrate \(\int u \, dv\) directly, we try to make \(\int v \, du\) easier. The art is choosing \(u\) and \(dv\) wisely.
When to Use:
- The integrand is a product of two functions
- One function becomes simpler when differentiated (choose this as \(u\))
- The other function is easy to integrate (choose this as \(dv\))
LIATE Rule (A Helpful Mnemonic): When choosing \(u\), prefer functions in this order:
- Logarithmic functions (\(\ln x\))
- Inverse trig functions (\(\arctan x\), \(\arcsin x\))
- Algebraic functions (polynomials like \(x^2\), \(x\))
- Trigonometric functions (\(\sin x\), \(\cos x\))
- Exponential functions (\(e^x\), \(2^x\))
The function that appears first in this list should usually be \(u\) (it gets simpler when differentiated).
1.6.2 Common Integration by Parts Patterns
Certain types of integrals consistently require integration by parts:
- Logarithms: \(\int \ln x \, dx\), \(\int x^n \ln x \, dx\)
- Choose \(u = \ln x\), \(dv = x^n dx\)
- Inverse trigonometric functions: \(\int \arctan x \, dx\), \(\int \arcsin x \, dx\)
- Choose \(u = \arctan x\) or \(\arcsin x\), \(dv = dx\)
- Polynomial times exponential: \(\int x^n e^{ax} \, dx\)
- Choose \(u = x^n\), \(dv = e^{ax} dx\)
- May require multiple applications
- Polynomial times trigonometric: \(\int x^n \sin(ax) \, dx\), \(\int x^n \cos(ax) \, dx\)
- Choose \(u = x^n\), \(dv = \sin(ax) dx\) or \(\cos(ax) dx\)
- Exponential times trigonometric: \(\int e^{ax} \sin(bx) \, dx\), \(\int e^{ax} \cos(bx) \, dx\)
- Apply integration by parts twice, then solve for the integral
1.6.3 Reduction (Recurrence) Formulas
For families of integrals like \(I_n = \int x^n e^x \, dx\) or \(I_n = \int \sin^n x \, dx\), we can derive recurrence relations that express \(I_n\) in terms of \(I_{n-1}\) or \(I_{n-2}\).
Example: Power-Exponential Integrals For \(I_n = \int x^n e^x \, dx\):
\[ I_n = x^n e^x - n I_{n-1} \]
Example: Sine Powers For \(I_n = \int \sin^n x \, dx\):
\[ I_n = -\frac{1}{n}\sin^{n-1}x \cos x + \frac{n-1}{n}I_{n-2} \]
1.7 Integration of Rational Functions
1.7.1 Partial Fraction Decomposition
A rational function is a ratio of two polynomials: \(\frac{P_n(x)}{Q_m(x)}\) where \(P_n\) has degree \(n\) and \(Q_m\) has degree \(m\).
The Challenge: Integrating complex fractions like \(\frac{2x + 5}{x^2 - 5x + 6}\) seems hard. But what if we could split it into simpler pieces?
The Key Insight: Just as \(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{6}\), we can often split a complex fraction into simpler ones! For example: \[\frac{5}{6} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3}\] Similarly: \[\frac{2x + 5}{(x - 2)(x - 3)} = \frac{A}{x - 2} + \frac{B}{x - 3}\]
The simpler fractions are easy to integrate: \(\int \frac{A}{x - 2} dx = A\ln|x - 2| + C\).
Case 1: Improper Rational Functions (\(n \ge m\)) If the top is “bigger” than the bottom (degree-wise), first do polynomial long division, like dividing numbers:
\[ \frac{P_n(x)}{Q_m(x)} = S(x) + \frac{R(x)}{Q_m(x)} \]
where \(S(x)\) is a polynomial (easy to integrate!) and \(\deg(R) < m\) (now proper).
Case 2: Proper Rational Functions (\(n < m\)) If \(n < m\) and \(P_n, Q_m\) are coprime, decompose into partial fractions based on the factorization of \(Q_m(x)\):
- Linear factors: For each factor \((x - a)^k\), include terms: \[ \frac{A_1}{x - a} + \frac{A_2}{(x - a)^2} + \dots + \frac{A_k}{(x - a)^k} \]
- Irreducible quadratic factors: For each factor \((ax^2 + bx + c)^k\) with \(\Delta = b^2 - 4ac < 0\), include: \[ \frac{B_1 x + C_1}{ax^2 + bx + c} + \frac{B_2 x + C_2}{(ax^2 + bx + c)^2} + \dots + \frac{B_k x + C_k}{(ax^2 + bx + c)^k} \]
After decomposition, integrate each term separately.
1.7.2 Integration Formulas for Partial Fractions
- \(\int \frac{A}{x - a} dx = A \ln|x - a| + C\)
- \(\int \frac{A}{(x - a)^k} dx = \frac{A}{(1 - k)(x - a)^{k-1}} + C\) for \(k \ge 2\)
- For \(\int \frac{Bx + C}{ax^2 + bx + c} dx\), complete the square and use arctangent or logarithm formulas
1.8 Integration of Trigonometric Functions
1.8.1 Common Strategies
- Products of sines and cosines:
- If \(\sin x\) appears to an odd power, substitute \(u = \cos x\)
- If \(\cos x\) appears to an odd power, substitute \(u = \sin x\)
- If both have even powers, use power-reduction formulas: \[ \sin^2 x = \frac{1 - \cos 2x}{2}, \quad \cos^2 x = \frac{1 + \cos 2x}{2} \]
- Products \(\sin(mx)\cos(nx)\), \(\sin(mx)\sin(nx)\), \(\cos(mx)\cos(nx)\):
- Use product-to-sum identities: \[ \sin(mx)\cos(nx) = \frac{1}{2}[\sin((m+n)x) + \sin((m-n)x)] \] \[ \sin(mx)\sin(nx) = \frac{1}{2}[\cos((m-n)x) - \cos((m+n)x)] \] \[ \cos(mx)\cos(nx) = \frac{1}{2}[\cos((m-n)x) + \cos((m+n)x)] \]
- Powers of tangent and secant:
- Use identities \(\tan^2 x = \sec^2 x - 1\) and \(d(\tan x) = \sec^2 x \, dx\)
- For \(\int \tan^n x \, dx\), separate \(\tan^2 x\) and use \(\tan^2 x = \sec^2 x - 1\)
- Universal trigonometric substitution:
- For \(\int R(\sin x, \cos x) dx\) (rational function of \(\sin x\) and \(\cos x\)), use: \[ t = \tan\frac{x}{2}, \quad \sin x = \frac{2t}{1 + t^2}, \quad \cos x = \frac{1 - t^2}{1 + t^2}, \quad dx = \frac{2}{1 + t^2} dt \]
1.9 Integration of Hyperbolic Functions
Hyperbolic functions integrate similarly to trigonometric functions, using identities:
- \(\sinh^2 x = \frac{\cosh 2x - 1}{2}\), \(\cosh^2 x = \frac{\cosh 2x + 1}{2}\)
- \(\tanh^2 x = 1 - \operatorname{sech}^2 x\)
- \(\int \sinh x \, dx = \cosh x + C\), \(\int \cosh x \, dx = \sinh x + C\)
- \(\int \tanh x \, dx = \ln(\cosh x) + C\)
Substitutions like \(u = \cosh x\) (when \(\sinh x\) appears) or \(u = \sinh x\) (when \(\cosh x\) appears) are effective.
1.10 Integration of Radical Functions
1.10.1 Trigonometric Substitutions
For integrals involving radicals, trigonometric or hyperbolic substitutions often simplify the expression:
- For \(\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}\): Use \(x = a\sin\theta\) or \(x = a\cos\theta\)
- Then \(\sqrt{a^2 - x^2} = a\cos\theta\) (or \(a\sin\theta\))
- For \(\sqrt{a^2 + x^2}\): Use \(x = a\tan\theta\) or \(x = a\sinh t\)
- Then \(\sqrt{a^2 + x^2} = a\sec\theta\) (or \(a\cosh t\))
- For \(\sqrt{x^2 - a^2}\): Use \(x = a\sec\theta\) or \(x = a\cosh t\)
- Then \(\sqrt{x^2 - a^2} = a\tan\theta\) (or \(a\sinh t\))
1.10.2 Rational Substitutions
For integrals of the form \(\int R(x, \sqrt[n]{ax + b}) dx\), substitute \(t = \sqrt[n]{ax + b}\).
For \(\int R(x, \sqrt{ax^2 + bx + c}) dx\), first complete the square, then use appropriate trigonometric substitution.
1.11 Riemann Sums and Definite Integrals
1.11.1 Motivation: Computing Area
The definite integral arises from the problem of computing the area under a curve. This is a surprisingly difficult problem that stumped mathematicians for centuries!
The Problem: Suppose we want to find the area bounded by the graph of a continuous function \(f(x) \ge 0\), the \(x\)-axis, and vertical lines \(x = a\) and \(x = b\). For simple shapes (rectangles, triangles), we have formulas. But what about the area under \(y = x^2\) from \(x = 0\) to \(x = 1\)?

Riemann’s Brilliant Idea: Approximate the curved region with rectangles, which we can measure! The key insight is:
- Divide \([a, b]\) into \(n\) subintervals (say, all equal width \(\Delta x = \frac{b-a}{n}\))
- In each subinterval, construct a rectangle whose height is determined by the function value at some point
- Sum the areas of all rectangles: Area \(\approx \sum_{i=1}^n f(x_i) \Delta x\)
- Take the limit as \(n \to \infty\) (rectangles become infinitesimally thin): Area \(= \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{i=1}^n f(x_i) \Delta x\)
Intuition: As we use more rectangles (larger \(n\)), the approximation gets better and better. In the limit, the sum of rectangular areas becomes the exact area under the curve.
From Discrete to Continuous: The sum \(\sum\) becomes an integral \(\int\), the discrete width \(\Delta x\) becomes the infinitesimal \(dx\), and we get: \[\text{Area} = \int_a^b f(x) \, dx\]
1.11.2 Riemann Sums
Definition: Let \(f\) be a bounded function on \([a, b]\). A partition \(P\) of \([a, b]\) is a finite set of points:
\[ P = \{x_0, x_1, \dots, x_n\} \text{ where } a = x_0 < x_1 < \dots < x_n = b \]
The norm (or mesh) of partition \(P\) is:
\[ \|P\| = \max_{1 \le i \le n} (x_i - x_{i-1}) \]
For each subinterval \([x_{i-1}, x_i]\), choose a sample point \(c_i \in [x_{i-1}, x_i]\). The Riemann sum associated with partition \(P\) and sample points \(\{c_i\}\) is:
\[ S(P, f) = \sum_{i=1}^{n} f(c_i) \Delta x_i \text{ where } \Delta x_i = x_i - x_{i-1} \]
1.11.3 Definition of the Definite Integral
Definition: A function \(f\) is Riemann integrable on \([a, b]\) if there exists a number \(I\) such that for every \(\varepsilon > 0\), there exists \(\delta > 0\) such that:
\[ \left| S(P, f) - I \right| < \varepsilon \]
for all partitions \(P\) with \(\|P\| < \delta\) and any choice of sample points. We write:
\[ \int_a^b f(x) \, dx = I = \lim_{\|P\| \to 0} \sum_{i=1}^{n} f(c_i) \Delta x_i \]
The number \(I\) is called the definite integral of \(f\) from \(a\) to \(b\).
Notation:
- \(a\) is the lower limit of integration
- \(b\) is the upper limit of integration
- \(f(x)\) is the integrand
- \(x\) is the variable of integration (a dummy variable)
1.11.4 Integrable Functions
Theorem: If \(f\) is continuous on \([a, b]\), then \(f\) is Riemann integrable on \([a, b]\).
Theorem: If \(f\) is bounded on \([a, b]\) and has at most finitely many discontinuities, then \(f\) is Riemann integrable on \([a, b]\).
Non-integrable Example: The Dirichlet function:
\[ D(x) = \begin{cases} 1 & \text{if } x \in \mathbb{Q} \\ 0 & \text{if } x \notin \mathbb{Q} \end{cases} \]
is not Riemann integrable on any interval \([a, b]\) because it is discontinuous everywhere.
1.12 Properties of Definite Integrals
Let \(f\) and \(g\) be integrable functions on \([a, b]\), and let \(c \in \mathbb{R}\) be a constant.
- Linearity: \[ \int_a^b [cf(x) + g(x)] \, dx = c\int_a^b f(x) \, dx + \int_a^b g(x) \, dx \]
- Additivity over intervals: \[ \int_a^b f(x) \, dx = \int_a^c f(x) \, dx + \int_c^b f(x) \, dx \quad \text{for any } c \in [a, b] \]
- Reversal of limits: \[ \int_a^b f(x) \, dx = -\int_b^a f(x) \, dx \]
- Zero-width interval: \[ \int_a^a f(x) \, dx = 0 \]
- Comparison property: If \(f(x) \le g(x)\) for all \(x \in [a, b]\), then: \[ \int_a^b f(x) \, dx \le \int_a^b g(x) \, dx \]
- Absolute value inequality: \[ \left| \int_a^b f(x) \, dx \right| \le \int_a^b |f(x)| \, dx \]
- Max-Min inequality: If \(m \le f(x) \le M\) for all \(x \in [a, b]\), then: \[ m(b - a) \le \int_a^b f(x) \, dx \le M(b - a) \]
1.12.1 Mean Value Theorem for Definite Integrals
Theorem (Mean Value Theorem for Integrals): If \(f\) is continuous on \([a, b]\), then there exists a point \(c \in [a, b]\) such that:
\[ \int_a^b f(x) \, dx = f(c)(b - a) \]
The value \(f(c)\) is called the average value of \(f\) on \([a, b]\):
\[ f_{\text{avg}} = \frac{1}{b - a} \int_a^b f(x) \, dx \]
1.13 The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
Why “Fundamental”? This theorem is called “fundamental” because it reveals a shocking connection: differentiation and integration are inverse operations! It’s one of the most important theorems in all of calculus.
1.13.1 Part 1: Integration as Antidifferentiation
Theorem (Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 1): If \(f\) is continuous on \([a, b]\), then the function defined by:
\[ F(x) = \int_a^x f(t) \, dt, \quad x \in [a, b] \]
is continuous on \([a, b]\), differentiable on \((a, b)\), and:
\[ F'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \int_a^x f(t) \, dt = f(x) \]
Intuitive Interpretation: Imagine \(f(t)\) represents the rate of water flowing into a tank at time \(t\). Then \(F(x) = \int_a^x f(t) \, dt\) represents the total accumulated water from time \(a\) to time \(x\).
What does \(F'(x)\) mean? It’s the rate at which the accumulated amount is changing—which is exactly the flow rate at that moment, \(f(x)\)! Differentiation undoes integration.
Key Insight: This theorem tells us that every continuous function has an antiderivative, obtained by integrating from a fixed point. The process of “accumulating” the function (integration) creates a function whose rate of change (derivative) is the original function.
More General Form: For \(F(x) = \int_{u(x)}^{v(x)} f(t) \, dt\):
\[ F'(x) = f(v(x)) \cdot v'(x) - f(u(x)) \cdot u'(x) \]
1.13.2 Part 2: The Evaluation Theorem
Theorem (Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 2): If \(f\) is continuous on \([a, b]\) and \(F\) is any antiderivative of \(f\) on \([a, b]\), then:
\[ \int_a^b f(x) \, dx = F(b) - F(a) \]
Notation: We often write \(F(b) - F(a) = [F(x)]_a^b\) or \(F(x) \Big|_a^b\).
Why This is Amazing: Remember that computing \(\int_a^b f(x) \, dx\) directly requires taking the limit of Riemann sums—a potentially complicated process. But FTC Part 2 says: just find any antiderivative and plug in the endpoints! No limits, no sums, just simple evaluation.
Interpretation: To evaluate a definite integral, we:
- Find any antiderivative \(F\) of the integrand \(f\)
- Evaluate \(F\) at the upper limit \(b\) and lower limit \(a\)
- Subtract: \(F(b) - F(a)\)
The Bridge: This bridges the gap between indefinite integrals (antiderivatives) and definite integrals (area/accumulation). The seemingly separate concepts—rates of change (derivatives) and accumulation (integrals)—are deeply connected.
Example: To find the area under \(f(x) = x^2\) from \(x = 0\) to \(x = 2\):
- Find antiderivative: \(F(x) = \frac{x^3}{3}\)
- Evaluate: \(F(2) - F(0) = \frac{8}{3} - 0 = \frac{8}{3}\)
No messy limits needed!
1.14 The Substitution Rule for Definite Integrals
Theorem (Substitution Rule for Definite Integrals): If \(u = g(x)\) is a continuously differentiable function on \([a, b]\) and \(f\) is continuous on the range of \(g\), then:
\[ \int_a^b f(g(x)) g'(x) \, dx = \int_{g(a)}^{g(b)} f(u) \, du \]
Procedure:
- Substitute \(u = g(x)\), \(du = g'(x) dx\)
- Change the limits: when \(x = a\), \(u = g(a)\); when \(x = b\), \(u = g(b)\)
- Integrate with respect to \(u\)
- No need to substitute back!
1.14.1 Definite Integrals of Symmetric Functions
Theorem: If \(f\) is continuous on \([-a, a]\), then:
- Even function (\(f(-x) = f(x)\)): \[ \int_{-a}^a f(x) \, dx = 2\int_0^a f(x) \, dx \]
- Odd function (\(f(-x) = -f(x)\)): \[ \int_{-a}^a f(x) \, dx = 0 \]
These properties can significantly simplify calculations.
1.15 Applications of Definite Integrals
Definite integrals are incredibly powerful—they let us compute areas, volumes, lengths, and many other quantities. The key idea is always the same: slice, approximate, sum, and take the limit.
1.15.1 Area Between Curves
The Idea: To find the area between two curves, imagine slicing the region into thin vertical strips. Each strip has:
- Width: \(dx\) (infinitesimal)
- Height: \(f(x) - g(x)\) (difference between upper and lower curves)
- Area of one strip: \([f(x) - g(x)] dx\)
Summing all strips gives the total area:
\[ A = \int_a^b [f(x) - g(x)] \, dx \quad \text{where } f(x) \ge g(x) \]
Important: If the curves intersect, split the integral at intersection points and ensure the upper function is always subtracted from the lower (sometimes this switches!).

1.15.2 Volume of Solids of Revolution
When we rotate a region around an axis, we create a 3D solid. How do we find its volume?
Disk Method: Imagine slicing the solid perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Each slice is approximately a circular disk!
- Radius of disk: \(f(x)\)
- Thickness: \(dx\)
- Volume of one disk: \(\pi [f(x)]^2 dx\) (area of circle times thickness)
Summing all disks from \(x = a\) to \(x = b\):
\[ V = \pi \int_a^b [f(x)]^2 \, dx \]


Washer Method: If there’s a hole in the middle (region between two curves), each slice is a washer (disk with a hole):
- Outer radius: \(f(x)\), Inner radius: \(g(x)\)
- Area of washer: \(\pi[f(x)]^2 - \pi[g(x)]^2\)
- Volume: \(V = \pi \int_a^b \left( [f(x)]^2 - [g(x)]^2 \right) dx\)

Shell Method: When revolving about the \(y\)-axis, imagine the solid as nested cylindrical shells:
- Radius of shell: \(x\)
- Height: \(f(x)\)
- Circumference: \(2\pi x\)
- “Surface area” of shell: \(2\pi x \cdot f(x)\)
- Thickness: \(dx\)
- Volume: \(V = 2\pi \int_a^b x f(x) \, dx\)


1.15.3 Arc Length
The Challenge: How do we measure the length of a curve? For a straight line, it’s easy. For a curve, we need calculus!
The Idea: Approximate the curve with tiny straight line segments, measure each segment, sum them up, and take the limit.
Consider a tiny piece of the curve from \(x\) to \(x + dx\). Using the Pythagorean theorem:
- Horizontal change: \(dx\)
- Vertical change: \(dy = f'(x) dx\)
- Length of tiny segment: \(\sqrt{(dx)^2 + (dy)^2} = \sqrt{1 + (f'(x))^2} \, dx\)
Summing all segments gives the total length:
\[ L = \int_a^b \sqrt{1 + [f'(x)]^2} \, dx \]
For Parametric Curves: If the curve is given by \((x(t), y(t))\), the same idea applies:
- At time \(t\), the position is \((x(t), y(t))\)
- A tiny time interval \(dt\) causes changes \(dx = x'(t)dt\) and \(dy = y'(t)dt\)
- Segment length: \(\sqrt{(x'(t))^2 + (y'(t))^2} \, dt\)
\[ L = \int_\alpha^\beta \sqrt{[x'(t)]^2 + [y'(t)]^2} \, dt \]
1.15.4 Surface Area of Revolution
If the curve \(y = f(x)\) from \(x = a\) to \(x = b\) is revolved about the \(x\)-axis, the surface area is:
\[ S = 2\pi \int_a^b f(x) \sqrt{1 + [f'(x)]^2} \, dx \]
1.16 Improper Integrals
1.16.1 Motivation
The definite integral \(\int_a^b f(x) \, dx\) is defined for finite intervals \([a, b]\) and bounded, integrable functions. But real-world problems often involve infinity!
Real-World Questions:
- What’s the total energy radiated by the sun over all future time? (Infinite interval)
- How much work is needed to escape Earth’s gravitational pull? (Infinite distance)
- What’s the probability that a randomly chosen number from a bell curve exceeds 1000? (Integral over infinite range)
The Challenge: We can’t directly compute “infinite sums.” We need a careful limiting process.
Improper integrals extend the concept of integration to:
- Infinite intervals: \([a, \infty)\), \((-\infty, b]\), or \((-\infty, \infty)\)
- Unbounded integrands: Functions with vertical asymptotes in \([a, b]\) (like \(\frac{1}{x}\) near \(x = 0\))
Key Question: Does the integral have a finite value (converges) or not (diverges)?
1.16.2 Type 1: Infinite Intervals
Definition: If \(f\) is continuous on \([a, \infty)\), we define:
\[ \int_a^\infty f(x) \, dx = \lim_{t \to \infty} \int_a^t f(x) \, dx \]
If the limit exists (is finite), the integral converges to that value. Otherwise, it diverges.
Similarly:
\[ \int_{-\infty}^b f(x) \, dx = \lim_{t \to -\infty} \int_t^b f(x) \, dx \]
For the entire real line:
\[ \int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x) \, dx = \int_{-\infty}^c f(x) \, dx + \int_c^\infty f(x) \, dx \]
Both integrals on the right must converge for the left side to converge.
1.16.3 Type 2: Discontinuous Integrands
If \(f\) has a discontinuity at \(x = b\) (right endpoint):
\[ \int_a^b f(x) \, dx = \lim_{t \to b^-} \int_a^t f(x) \, dx \]
If \(f\) has a discontinuity at \(x = a\) (left endpoint):
\[ \int_a^b f(x) \, dx = \lim_{t \to a^+} \int_t^b f(x) \, dx \]
If \(f\) has a discontinuity at \(c \in (a, b)\):
\[ \int_a^b f(x) \, dx = \int_a^c f(x) \, dx + \int_c^b f(x) \, dx \]
Both integrals on the right must converge.
1.16.4 Tests for Convergence
When we cannot evaluate an improper integral directly, we use comparison tests. The idea is simple: compare your integral with one you already understand.
The Intuition: If a smaller function has infinite area, so does a larger one. Conversely, if a larger function has finite area, so does a smaller one. It’s like comparing two people’s bank accounts: if the person who earns less has saved \(\$1,000,000\), the person who earns more definitely has at least that much!
Direct Comparison Test: Let \(f\) and \(g\) be continuous on \([a, \infty)\) with \(0 \le f(x) \le g(x)\) for all \(x \ge a\) (think: “\(f\) is smaller than \(g\)”).
- If \(\int_a^\infty g(x) \, dx\) converges (the bigger area is finite), then \(\int_a^\infty f(x) \, dx\) converges (the smaller area must also be finite)
- If \(\int_a^\infty f(x) \, dx\) diverges (the smaller area is infinite), then \(\int_a^\infty g(x) \, dx\) diverges (the bigger area must also be infinite)
Strategy: Compare your integral with standard functions whose convergence you know (see below).
Limit Comparison Test: If \(f(x) \ge 0\) and \(g(x) > 0\) are continuous on \([a, \infty)\), and:
\[ \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = L \]
Then:
- If \(0 < L < \infty\), both \(\int_a^\infty f(x) \, dx\) and \(\int_a^\infty g(x) \, dx\) either both converge or both diverge
- If \(L = 0\) and \(\int_a^\infty g(x) \, dx\) converges, then \(\int_a^\infty f(x) \, dx\) converges
- If \(L = \infty\) and \(\int_a^\infty g(x) \, dx\) diverges, then \(\int_a^\infty f(x) \, dx\) diverges
Common Comparison Functions:
- \(\int_1^\infty \frac{1}{x^p} \, dx\) converges if \(p > 1\), diverges if \(p \le 1\)
- \(\int_1^\infty e^{-x} \, dx\) converges
1.16.5 Cauchy Integral Test for Series
Theorem: Let \(\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n\) be a series with non-negative terms, and let \(f\) be a continuous, decreasing function on \([1, \infty)\) such that \(f(n) = a_n\). Then the series and the integral \(\int_1^\infty f(x) \, dx\) are of the same nature (both converge or both diverge).
This provides a powerful link between improper integrals and infinite series.

Alternative approach - substitution: Let \(x = \tan\theta\), so \(dx = \sec^2\theta \, d\theta\)
- Then \(\sqrt{x^2 + 1} = \sec\theta\) \[ \int \frac{\sqrt{x^2 + 1}}{x^2} \, dx = \int \frac{\sec\theta}{\tan^2\theta} \sec^2\theta \, d\theta = \int \frac{\sec^3\theta}{\tan^2\theta} \, d\theta \]

- Integrate: \[ \int \frac{1}{u} \, du = \ln|u| + C \]
- Substitute back: Replace \(u = 1 + \cosh x\): \[ \ln|1 + \cosh x| + C \]
- Simplify: Since \(\cosh x > 0\) for all \(x \in \mathbb{R}\), we have \(1 + \cosh x > 0\), so we can drop the absolute value: \[ \ln(1 + \cosh x) + C \]

Key Concept: The numerator \(\sin x\) is the derivative of the negative of the denominator’s inner function. Specifically, \(\frac{d}{dx}(1 + \cos x) = -\sin x\). We can use substitution with \(u = 1 + \cos x\).
- Identify the substitution: Let \(u = 1 + \cos x\), so \(du = -\sin x \, dx\), which means \(\sin x \, dx = -du\)

Click to see the solution
Key Concept: For powers of tangent, we use the identity \(\tan^2 x = \sec^2 x - 1\) to decompose the odd power into a manageable form.
Decompose using the identity: \(\tan^2 x = \sec^2 x - 1\), so: \[ \tan^3 x = \tan x \cdot \tan^2 x = \tan x (\sec^2 x - 1) = \tan x \sec^2 x - \tan x \]
Rewrite the integral: \[ \int \tan^3 x \, dx = \int \tan x \sec^2 x \, dx - \int \tan x \, dx \]
Evaluate the first integral: Let \(u = \tan x\), so \(du = \sec^2 x \, dx\) \[ \int \tan x \sec^2 x \, dx = \int u \, du = \frac{u^2}{2} = \frac{\tan^2 x}{2} \]
Evaluate the second integral: We can write \(\tan x = \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}\) \[ \int \tan x \, dx = \int \frac{\sin x}{\cos x} \, dx \]
Let \(v = \cos x\), so \(dv = -\sin x \, dx\): \[ \int \frac{\sin x}{\cos x} \, dx = -\int \frac{1}{v} \, dv = -\ln|v| = -\ln|\cos x| \]
This can also be written as \(\ln|\sec x|\)
Combine the results: \[ \int \tan^3 x \, dx = \frac{\tan^2 x}{2} - (-\ln|\cos x|) = \frac{\tan^2 x}{2} + \ln|\cos x| + C \]

- Apply the product-to-sum identity: With \(A = 2x\) and \(B = 3x\): \[ \sin(2x) \cos(3x) = \frac{1}{2}[\sin(2x + 3x) + \sin(2x - 3x)] = \frac{1}{2}[\sin(5x) + \sin(-x)] \]
- Simplify using \(\sin(-x) = -\sin x\): \[ \sin(2x) \cos(3x) = \frac{1}{2}[\sin(5x) - \sin x] \]
- Rewrite the integral: \[ \int \sin(2x) \cos(3x) \, dx = \int \frac{1}{2}[\sin(5x) - \sin x] \, dx = \frac{1}{2}\int \sin(5x) \, dx - \frac{1}{2}\int \sin x \, dx \]
- Integrate each term:
- \(\int \sin(5x) \, dx = -\frac{1}{5}\cos(5x)\)
- \(\int \sin x \, dx = -\cos x\)

4.37. \(\int \frac{\sqrt{x^2+1}}{x^2} \, dx\) (Lab 3, Trigonometric Functions Integration, Advanced)
Evaluate the indefinite integral of \(\frac{\sqrt{x^2+1}}{x^2}\) using trigonometric substitution.
Click to see the solution
Key Concept: For integrals involving \(\sqrt{x^2 + a^2}\), use the trigonometric substitution \(x = a\tan\theta\). This transforms the radical into a trigonometric function that simplifies the integrand significantly.
Set up the trigonometric substitution: Let \(x = \tan\theta\), so \(dx = \sec^2\theta \, d\theta\)
Simplify the radical: \[ \sqrt{x^2 + 1} = \sqrt{\tan^2\theta + 1} = \sqrt{\sec^2\theta} = |\sec\theta| = \sec\theta \] (We use \(\sec\theta > 0\) since \(\theta \in (-\pi/2, \pi/2)\) for the principal branch)
Transform the integral: \[ \int \frac{\sqrt{x^2+1}}{x^2} \, dx = \int \frac{\sec\theta}{\tan^2\theta} \cdot \sec^2\theta \, d\theta = \int \frac{\sec^3\theta}{\tan^2\theta} \, d\theta \]
Rewrite using trigonometric functions: \[ \frac{\sec^3\theta}{\tan^2\theta} = \frac{\sec^3\theta}{\sin^2\theta/\cos^2\theta} = \frac{\sec^3\theta \cdot \cos^2\theta}{\sin^2\theta} = \frac{(1/\cos^3\theta) \cdot \cos^2\theta}{\sin^2\theta} = \frac{1}{\cos\theta \sin^2\theta} \]
Using the result from advanced integration techniques: The integral \(\int \frac{1}{\cos\theta \sin^2\theta} \, d\theta\) evaluates to \(-\csc\theta - \cot\theta \csc\theta\).
Express in terms of original variable: From \(x = \tan\theta\):
- \(\sin\theta = \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}\) and \(\cos\theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}\)
- \(\csc\theta = \frac{\sqrt{x^2+1}}{x}\) and \(\cot\theta = \frac{1}{x}\)
Answer: \(-\frac{\sqrt{x^2+1}}{x} + \ln\left|x + \sqrt{x^2+1}\right| + C\)
4.38. \(\int \frac{x^3 + x + 1}{(x^2+2)^2} \, dx\) (Lab 3, Rational Functions, Advanced)
Evaluate the indefinite integral of \(\frac{x^3 + x + 1}{(x^2+2)^2}\) using partial fraction decomposition.
Click to see the solution
Key Concept: For rational functions with irreducible quadratic factors in the denominator, we decompose the numerator strategically to separate terms with the derivative of the denominator factor from constant terms.
Set up the partial fraction decomposition: Since the denominator is \((x^2+2)^2\), we decompose: \[ \frac{x^3 + x + 1}{(x^2+2)^2} = \frac{Ax + B}{x^2+2} + \frac{Cx + D}{(x^2+2)^2} \]
Multiply both sides by \((x^2+2)^2\): \[ x^3 + x + 1 = (Ax + B)(x^2+2) + (Cx + D) \]
Expand the right side: \[ x^3 + x + 1 = Ax^3 + 2Ax + Bx^2 + 2B + Cx + D \] \[ x^3 + x + 1 = Ax^3 + Bx^2 + (2A + C)x + (2B + D) \]
Compare coefficients:
- Coefficient of \(x^3\): \(A = 1\)
- Coefficient of \(x^2\): \(B = 0\)
- Coefficient of \(x^1\): \(2A + C = 1 \Rightarrow 2(1) + C = 1 \Rightarrow C = -1\)
- Coefficient of \(x^0\): \(2B + D = 1 \Rightarrow 2(0) + D = 1 \Rightarrow D = 1\)
Write the decomposition: \[ \frac{x^3 + x + 1}{(x^2+2)^2} = \frac{x}{x^2+2} + \frac{-x + 1}{(x^2+2)^2} \]
Integrate the first term: For \(\int \frac{x}{x^2+2} \, dx\), let \(u = x^2 + 2\), so \(du = 2x \, dx\): \[ \int \frac{x}{x^2+2} \, dx = \frac{1}{2}\ln(x^2+2) \]
Integrate the second term: Split into two parts: \[ \int \frac{-x + 1}{(x^2+2)^2} \, dx = -\int \frac{x}{(x^2+2)^2} \, dx + \int \frac{1}{(x^2+2)^2} \, dx \]
For the first part, let \(v = x^2 + 2\), so \(dv = 2x \, dx\): \[ -\int \frac{x}{(x^2+2)^2} \, dx = -\frac{1}{2}\int \frac{1}{v^2} \, dv = \frac{1}{2(x^2+2)} \]
For the second part, use the formula \(\int \frac{1}{(x^2+a^2)^2} \, dx = \frac{x}{2a^2(x^2+a^2)} + \frac{1}{2a^3}\arctan\left(\frac{x}{a}\right) + C\)
With \(a^2 = 2\), so \(a = \sqrt{2}\): \[ \int \frac{1}{(x^2+2)^2} \, dx = \frac{x}{4(x^2+2)} + \frac{1}{4\sqrt{2}}\arctan\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}\right) \]
Combine all parts: \[ \int \frac{x^3 + x + 1}{(x^2+2)^2} \, dx = \frac{1}{2}\ln(x^2+2) + \frac{1}{2(x^2+2)} + \frac{x}{4(x^2+2)} + \frac{1}{4\sqrt{2}}\arctan\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}\right) + C \]
Answer: \(\frac{1}{2}\ln(x^2+2) + \frac{x+2}{4(x^2+2)} + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{8}\arctan\left(\frac{x\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) + C\)

Approximate \(\int_0^1 2x \, dx\) using a left Riemann sum with \(n=4\) subintervals.
Click to see the solution
Key Concept: A Riemann sum approximates the area under a curve by dividing the interval into subintervals and using rectangles. The left endpoint method evaluates the function at the left end of each subinterval.
- Calculate the step size: \[ \Delta x = \frac{b - a}{n} = \frac{1 - 0}{4} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \]
- Identify the partition points: \[ x_0 = 0, \quad x_1 = 0.25, \quad x_2 = 0.5, \quad x_3 = 0.75, \quad x_4 = 1 \]
- Evaluate the function at left endpoints:
- \(f(x_0) = f(0) = 2(0) = 0\)
- \(f(x_1) = f(0.25) = 2(0.25) = 0.5\)
- \(f(x_2) = f(0.5) = 2(0.5) = 1\)
- \(f(x_3) = f(0.75) = 2(0.75) = 1.5\)
- Compute the left Riemann sum: \[ L_4 = \sum_{i=0}^{3} f(x_i) \Delta x = (0 + 0.5 + 1 + 1.5) \times 0.25 = 3 \times 0.25 = 0.75 \]
- Compare with the exact value: \[ \int_0^1 2x \, dx = [x^2]_0^1 = 1 - 0 = 1 \]
- Compute the error: \[ \text{Error} = |1 - 0.75| = 0.25 = 25\% \]
Answer: The left Riemann sum approximation is \(L_4 = 0.75\) (exact value: \(1\), error: \(0.25\))

Approximate \(\int_0^2 (x^2 + 1) \, dx\) using a right Riemann sum with \(n=4\) subintervals.
Click to see the solution
Key Concept: The right endpoint method evaluates the function at the right end of each subinterval. This typically gives a different approximation than the left endpoint method, and for increasing functions, it tends to overestimate the area.
- Calculate the step size: \[ \Delta x = \frac{b - a}{n} = \frac{2 - 0}{4} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \]
- Identify the partition points: \[ x_0 = 0, \quad x_1 = 0.5, \quad x_2 = 1, \quad x_3 = 1.5, \quad x_4 = 2 \]
- Evaluate the function at right endpoints:
- \(f(x_1) = f(0.5) = (0.5)^2 + 1 = 0.25 + 1 = 1.25\)
- \(f(x_2) = f(1) = 1^2 + 1 = 2\)
- \(f(x_3) = f(1.5) = (1.5)^2 + 1 = 2.25 + 1 = 3.25\)
- \(f(x_4) = f(2) = 2^2 + 1 = 5\)
- Compute the right Riemann sum: \[ R_4 = \sum_{i=1}^{4} f(x_i) \Delta x = (1.25 + 2 + 3.25 + 5) \times 0.5 = 11.5 \times 0.5 = 5.75 \]
- Compare with the exact value: \[ \int_0^2 (x^2 + 1) \, dx = \left[\frac{x^3}{3} + x\right]_0^2 = \left(\frac{8}{3} + 2\right) - 0 = \frac{8}{3} + \frac{6}{3} = \frac{14}{3} \approx 4.667 \]
- Compute the error: \[ \text{Error} = \left|\frac{14}{3} - 5.75\right| = |4.667 - 5.75| \approx 1.083 \approx 23.2\% \]
Answer: The right Riemann sum approximation is \(R_4 = 5.75\) (exact value: \(\frac{14}{3} \approx 4.667\), error: \(\approx 1.083\))
4.41. Riemann Sum: \(\int_1^3 \frac{1}{x} \, dx\) with \(n=4\) (Midpoint) (Lab 3, Riemann Sums, Numerical Integration)
Approximate \(\int_1^3 \frac{1}{x} \, dx\) using a midpoint Riemann sum with \(n=4\) subintervals.
Click to see the solution
Key Concept: The midpoint method evaluates the function at the midpoint of each subinterval. This method typically provides better accuracy than left or right endpoint methods because it accounts for the function’s behavior more uniformly across each subinterval.
- Calculate the step size: \[ \Delta x = \frac{b - a}{n} = \frac{3 - 1}{4} = \frac{2}{4} = 0.5 \]
- Identify the partition points: \[ x_0 = 1, \quad x_1 = 1.5, \quad x_2 = 2, \quad x_3 = 2.5, \quad x_4 = 3 \]
- Compute midpoints of each subinterval:
- Subinterval 1: \([1, 1.5]\), midpoint: \(m_1 = 1.25\)
- Subinterval 2: \([1.5, 2]\), midpoint: \(m_2 = 1.75\)
- Subinterval 3: \([2, 2.5]\), midpoint: \(m_3 = 2.25\)
- Subinterval 4: \([2.5, 3]\), midpoint: \(m_4 = 2.75\)
- Evaluate the function at midpoints:
- \(f(m_1) = f(1.25) = \frac{1}{1.25} = 0.8\)
- \(f(m_2) = f(1.75) = \frac{1}{1.75} \approx 0.571\)
- \(f(m_3) = f(2.25) = \frac{1}{2.25} \approx 0.444\)
- \(f(m_4) = f(2.75) = \frac{1}{2.75} \approx 0.364\)
- Compute the midpoint Riemann sum: \[ M_4 = \sum_{i=1}^{4} f(m_i) \Delta x = (0.8 + 0.571 + 0.444 + 0.364) \times 0.5 = 2.179 \times 0.5 \approx 1.090 \]
- Compare with the exact value: \[ \int_1^3 \frac{1}{x} \, dx = [\ln x]_1^3 = \ln 3 - \ln 1 = \ln 3 \approx 1.099 \]
- Compute the error: \[ \text{Error} = |1.099 - 1.090| \approx 0.009 \approx 0.8\% \]
Answer: The midpoint Riemann sum approximation is \(M_4 \approx 1.090\) (exact value: \(\ln 3 \approx 1.099\), error: \(\approx 0.009\))

4.76. Find the surface area when the curve \(y = \ln(\sec x)\) for \(0 \leq x \leq \pi/4\) is rotated about the x-axis (Lab 4, Homework 7)
Find the surface area of revolution.
Click to see the solution
Key Concept: Use the surface area formula and simplify using trigonometric identities.
Find the derivative: \[ y' = \frac{1}{\sec x} \cdot \sec x \tan x = \tan x \]
Calculate \(1 + [y']^2\): \[ 1 + [y']^2 = 1 + \tan^2 x = \sec^2 x \]
Set up the integral: \[ S = 2\pi \int_{0}^{\pi/4} \ln(\sec x) \cdot \sqrt{\sec^2 x} \, dx = 2\pi \int_{0}^{\pi/4} \ln(\sec x) \cdot \sec x \, dx \]
Substitute: Let \(u = \sec x\), then \(du = \sec x \tan x \, dx\)
This substitution doesn’t directly simplify. Instead, use integration by parts:
Let \(v = \ln(\sec x)\), \(dw = \sec x \, dx\)
Then \(dv = \tan x \, dx\), \(w = \ln|\sec x + \tan x|\)
This becomes complex. Alternatively, use the fact that: \[ \int \ln(\sec x) \sec x \, dx = \sec x \ln(\sec x) - \sec x + C \]
(This can be verified by differentiation or found in integral tables)
Evaluate: \[ S = 2\pi [\sec x \ln(\sec x) - \sec x]_{0}^{\pi/4} \]
At \(x = \pi/4\): \(\sec(\pi/4) = \sqrt{2}\) \[ = \sqrt{2} \ln(\sqrt{2}) - \sqrt{2} = \sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{\ln 2}{2} - \sqrt{2} = \sqrt{2}\left(\frac{\ln 2}{2} - 1\right) \]
At \(x = 0\): \(\sec 0 = 1\), \(\ln 1 = 0\) \[ = 1 \cdot 0 - 1 = -1 \]
Final answer: \[ S = 2\pi \left[\sqrt{2}\left(\frac{\ln 2}{2} - 1\right) - (-1)\right] \] \[ = 2\pi \left[\frac{\sqrt{2} \ln 2}{2} - \sqrt{2} + 1\right] \] \[ = \pi[\sqrt{2} \ln 2 - 2\sqrt{2} + 2] = \pi[\sqrt{2}(\ln 2 - 2) + 2] \]
Answer: \(\pi[\sqrt{2}(\ln 2 - 2) + 2]\) square units (or \(2\pi(1 - \sqrt{2}) + \pi\sqrt{2}\ln 2\) square units)
4.77. Find the volume of the wedge cut from a cylinder of radius 3 by two planes (Lab 5, Recap 1)
A curved wedge is cut from a circular cylinder of radius 3 by two planes. One plane is perpendicular to the axis, the other makes a \(45^\circ\) angle at the center. Find the wedge’s volume.
Click to see the solution
Key Concept: Slice the solid with cross-sections perpendicular to the \(x\)-axis. Because the cutting plane makes a \(45^\circ\) angle, the height of each cross-section at position \(x\) equals \(x\) itself.
Set up coordinates so the cylinder has equation \(x^2 + y^2 = 9\) (axis along the \(z\)-axis). The wedge is bounded below by \(z = 0\) and above by \(z = x\) (the \(45^\circ\) plane), for \(0 \le x \le 3\).
- Find the cross-sectional area at position \(x\): For fixed \(x\), \(y\) ranges from \(-\sqrt{9 - x^2}\) to \(\sqrt{9-x^2}\) and \(z\) ranges from \(0\) to \(x\). The cross-section is a rectangle with:
- Width: \(2\sqrt{9 - x^2}\)
- Height: \(x\) (the height of the wedge at that \(x\)-value) \[A(x) = 2x\sqrt{9 - x^2}\]
- Set up the volume integral: \[V = \int_0^3 A(x)\,dx = \int_0^3 2x\sqrt{9 - x^2}\,dx\]
- Substitute: Let \(u = 9 - x^2\), so \(du = -2x\,dx\). When \(x = 0\), \(u = 9\); when \(x = 3\), \(u = 0\): \[V = \int_9^0 \sqrt{u}\,(-du) = \int_0^9 \sqrt{u}\,du\]
- Integrate: \[V = \left[\frac{2u^{3/2}}{3}\right]_0^9 = \frac{2 \cdot 27}{3} - 0 = 18\]
Answer: \(18\) cubic units

- Integrate: \[V = 2\pi \left[\frac{x^{5/2}}{5/2}\right]_0^4 = 2\pi \cdot \frac{2}{5} \left[x^{5/2}\right]_0^4\]
- Evaluate: \[= \frac{4\pi}{5} \cdot 4^{5/2} = \frac{4\pi}{5} \cdot 32 = \frac{128\pi}{5}\]
Answer: \(\dfrac{128\pi}{5}\) cubic units

Click to see the solution
Key Concept: Arc length is given by \(L = \int_a^b \sqrt{1 + [y']^2}\,dx\).
- Find the derivative: \[y' = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{2} x^{1/2} = 2\sqrt{2}\,x^{1/2}\]
- Compute \(1 + [y']^2\): \[[y']^2 = (2\sqrt{2})^2 x = 8x\] \[1 + [y']^2 = 1 + 8x\]
- Set up the arc length integral: \[L = \int_0^1 \sqrt{1 + 8x}\,dx\]
- Substitute: Let \(u = 1 + 8x\), \(du = 8\,dx\). When \(x = 0\), \(u = 1\); when \(x = 1\), \(u = 9\): \[L = \frac{1}{8}\int_1^9 \sqrt{u}\,du = \frac{1}{8}\left[\frac{2u^{3/2}}{3}\right]_1^9 = \frac{1}{12}\left[9^{3/2} - 1\right]\]

- Evaluate the definite integral: \[\lim_{t \to -\infty} \left[e^x(x-1)\right]_t^0 = \lim_{t \to -\infty} \left[e^0(0 - 1) - e^t(t - 1)\right]\] \[= -1 - \lim_{t \to -\infty} e^t(t - 1)\]
- Evaluate the limit: As \(t \to -\infty\), \(e^t \to 0\) much faster than \(|t - 1| \to \infty\), so by L’Hôpital’s rule: \[\lim_{t \to -\infty} e^t(t-1) = \lim_{t \to -\infty} \frac{t-1}{e^{-t}} = \lim_{t \to -\infty} \frac{1}{-e^{-t}} = 0\]

Key Concept: Use the Limit Comparison Test by comparing with a simpler function.
- Simplify the integrand: Factor the denominator: \[\frac{x+1}{x^3+x} = \frac{x+1}{x(x^2+1)}\]
- Choose comparison function: For large \(x\): \[\frac{x+1}{x(x^2+1)} \approx \frac{x}{x \cdot x^2} = \frac{1}{x^2}\] so we compare with \(g(x) = \frac{1}{x^2}\).
- Apply the Limit Comparison Test: \[L = \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{\dfrac{x+1}{x(x^2+1)}}{\dfrac{1}{x^2}} = \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{x^2(x+1)}{x(x^2+1)} = \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{x(x+1)}{x^2+1}\] \[= \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{x^2 + x}{x^2 + 1} = 1\]
- Conclude: Since \(0 < L = 1 < \infty\) and \(\int_1^\infty \frac{1}{x^2}\,dx\) converges, by the Limit Comparison Test \(\int_1^\infty \frac{x+1}{x^3+x}\,dx\) also converges.

Show that the improper integral converges.
Click to see the solution
Key Concept: Use the Direct Comparison Test. Split the integral and handle the two pieces separately.
- Split the integral at \(x = 1\): \[\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2}\,dx = \int_0^1 e^{-x^2}\,dx + \int_1^\infty e^{-x^2}\,dx\]
- First piece \(\int_0^1 e^{-x^2}\,dx\): On \([0,1]\), the function \(e^{-x^2}\) is continuous and bounded (since \(0 \le e^{-x^2} \le 1\)), so this is a proper integral that converges.
- Second piece \(\int_1^\infty e^{-x^2}\,dx\): For \(x \ge 1\), we have \(x^2 \ge x\), so \(-x^2 \le -x\), and thus: \[0 \le e^{-x^2} \le e^{-x} \quad \text{for all } x \ge 1\]
- Check the bounding integral: \[\int_1^\infty e^{-x}\,dx = \lim_{t \to \infty}\left[-e^{-x}\right]_1^t = 0 + e^{-1} = \frac{1}{e} < \infty\] This converges.
- Apply the Direct Comparison Test: Since \(0 \le e^{-x^2} \le e^{-x}\) and \(\int_1^\infty e^{-x}\,dx\) converges, by the Comparison Test \(\int_1^\infty e^{-x^2}\,dx\) also converges.
- Conclusion: Both pieces converge, so \(\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2}\,dx\) converges.

4.92. Use the Comparison Test to determine if \(\int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{2+\sin x}{x^2}\,dx\) converges (Lab 5, Homework 3)
Determine whether the integral converges or diverges using the Comparison Test.
Click to see the solution
Key Concept: Since \(\sin x\) is bounded, bound the numerator from above and apply the Direct Comparison Test.
Bound the integrand: For all \(x\), \(-1 \le \sin x \le 1\), so \(1 \le 2 + \sin x \le 3\).
Therefore: \[0 < \frac{2 + \sin x}{x^2} \le \frac{3}{x^2}\]
Check the bounding integral: \[\int_1^\infty \frac{3}{x^2}\,dx = 3\int_1^\infty x^{-2}\,dx = 3\left[-\frac{1}{x}\right]_1^\infty = 3(0 + 1) = 3 < \infty\] This converges.
Apply the Direct Comparison Test: Since \(0 < \frac{2 + \sin x}{x^2} \le \frac{3}{x^2}\) and \(\int_1^\infty \frac{3}{x^2}\,dx\) converges, the integral \(\int_1^\infty \frac{2 + \sin x}{x^2}\,dx\) also converges.

4.93. Determine if \(\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-x}\cos x\,dx\) converges (Lab 5, Homework 4)
Determine whether the integral converges. If it does, find its value.
Click to see the solution
Key Concept: First establish convergence via Comparison, then compute the value using integration by parts twice.
Convergence:
Since \(|\cos x| \le 1\) for all \(x\), we have \(|e^{-x}\cos x| \le e^{-x}\), and \(\int_0^\infty e^{-x}\,dx = 1\) converges. By the Comparison Test, the integral converges absolutely.
Value:
Let \(I = \int_0^\infty e^{-x}\cos x\,dx\).
- First integration by parts: \(u = \cos x\), \(dv = e^{-x}dx\), so \(du = -\sin x\,dx\), \(v = -e^{-x}\): \[I = \left[-e^{-x}\cos x\right]_0^\infty - \int_0^\infty e^{-x}\sin x\,dx = (0 + 1) - \int_0^\infty e^{-x}\sin x\,dx\]
- Second integration by parts for \(\int_0^\infty e^{-x}\sin x\,dx\): \(u = \sin x\), \(dv = e^{-x}dx\): \[\int_0^\infty e^{-x}\sin x\,dx = \left[-e^{-x}\sin x\right]_0^\infty + \int_0^\infty e^{-x}\cos x\,dx = (0 - 0) + I = I\]
- Solve for \(I\): \[I = 1 - I \implies 2I = 1 \implies I = \frac{1}{2}\]
Answer: The integral converges with value \(\dfrac{1}{2}\).
4.94. Find the values of \(p\) for which \(\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{x^p}\,dx\) converges (Lab 5, Homework 5)
For what values of \(p\) does the integral converge?
Click to see the solution
Key Concept: This is a Type II improper integral (discontinuous at \(x = 0\) for \(p > 0\)). Analyze separately for \(p \ne 1\) and \(p = 1\).
Case 1: \(p = 1\) \[\int_0^1 \frac{1}{x}\,dx = \lim_{t \to 0^+}\left[\ln x\right]_t^1 = \lim_{t \to 0^+}(0 - \ln t) = +\infty \quad \text{(diverges)}\]
Case 2: \(p \ne 1\) \[\int_0^1 x^{-p}\,dx = \lim_{t \to 0^+}\left[\frac{x^{1-p}}{1-p}\right]_t^1 = \lim_{t \to 0^+}\left(\frac{1}{1-p} - \frac{t^{1-p}}{1-p}\right)\]
- If \(p < 1\): then \(1 - p > 0\), so \(t^{1-p} \to 0\) as \(t \to 0^+\). The integral equals \(\frac{1}{1-p}\) — converges.
- If \(p > 1\): then \(1 - p < 0\), so \(t^{1-p} = t^{-(p-1)} \to +\infty\) as \(t \to 0^+\). The integral diverges.
Conclusion: \(\int_0^1 \frac{1}{x^p}\,dx\) converges if and only if \(p < 1\).

Prove convergence using the Direct Comparison Test.
Click to see the solution
Key Concept: For large \(x\), \(x^2 > x\), so \(e^{-x^2}\) decays faster than \(e^{-x}\). Split the integral to handle the bounded portion separately.
- Split the integral: \[\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2}\,dx = \int_0^1 e^{-x^2}\,dx + \int_1^\infty e^{-x^2}\,dx\]
- First piece: On \([0,1]\), \(e^{-x^2}\) is continuous and bounded by 1, so \(\int_0^1 e^{-x^2}\,dx \le 1\) is a proper integral — it converges.
- Second piece: For \(x \ge 1\): \(x^2 \ge x\), so \(-x^2 \le -x\), hence: \[0 \le e^{-x^2} \le e^{-x}\]
- Evaluate the bound: \[\int_1^\infty e^{-x}\,dx = \left[-e^{-x}\right]_1^\infty = 0 + e^{-1} = \frac{1}{e} < \infty\] This converges.
- Apply the Direct Comparison Test: Since \(0 \le e^{-x^2} \le e^{-x}\) on \([1,\infty)\) and \(\int_1^\infty e^{-x}\,dx\) converges, by the Comparison Test \(\int_1^\infty e^{-x^2}\,dx\) converges.

- Use \(\cos^2 v = \frac{1 + \cos(2v)}{2}\): \[ = \frac{3}{2}\int v(1 + \cos(2v)) dv = \frac{3}{2}\int (v + v\cos(2v)) dv \]
- First integral: \(\int v \, dv = \frac{v^2}{2}\)
- Second integral: \(\int v \cos(2v) dv\) by parts with \(u = v\), \(dv = \cos(2v) dv\):

- Rewrite: \[ \int x(1+x^2)^{-3/2} e^{\arctan x} dx = \int \frac{x \cdot e^{\arctan x}}{(1+x^2)^{3/2}} dx \]
- Key observation: Notice that \[ \frac{d}{dx}[(1+x^2)^{-1/2} e^{\arctan x}] = -\frac{x}{(1+x^2)^{3/2}} e^{\arctan x} + (1+x^2)^{-1/2} \cdot \frac{e^{\arctan x}}{1+x^2} \] \[ = -\frac{x e^{\arctan x}}{(1+x^2)^{3/2}} + \frac{e^{\arctan x}}{(1+x^2)^{3/2}} = \frac{(1-x)e^{\arctan x}}{(1+x^2)^{3/2}} \]
- This doesn’t match directly. Use integration by parts instead: Let \(u = e^{\arctan x}\), \(dv = \frac{x dx}{(1+x^2)^{3/2}}\)
- \(du = \frac{e^{\arctan x}}{1+x^2} dx\)
- For \(v\): Let \(w = 1+x^2\), \(dw = 2x dx\): \(v = \int \frac{dw/2}{w^{3/2}} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{w}} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\)

Use integral test to determine convergence.
Click to see the solution
Key Concept: Integral test relates series convergence to improper integral convergence.
- Comparison: For large \(n\), \(\arctan(n) \to \pi/2\), so \(e^{\arctan(n)} \approx e^{\pi/2}\) (bounded)

- Limit comparison with \(b_n = \frac{1}{n^2}\): \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{a_n}{b_n} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{e^{\arctan(n)}(n^2)}{n^2+1} = e^{\pi/2} < \infty \]
- Since \(\sum \frac{1}{n^2}\) converges (p-series with \(p=2>1\)):

\[I_4 = \int \frac{dx}{1 + 3e^x}, \quad I_5 = \int \sqrt{\csc x - \sin x} \, dx, \quad I_6 = \int \frac{x}{\sqrt{2 + 4x}} dx.\]
Click to see the solution
Key Concept: Each integral requires a different simplification using trigonometric identities and basic integration rules. Recall that \(\tan x = \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}\), \(\csc x = \frac{1}{\sin x}\), \(\cot x = \frac{\cos x}{\sin x}\).
\(I_1\):
- Simplify the denominator: \(\tan x \cdot \csc x = \frac{\sin x}{\cos x} \cdot \frac{1}{\sin x} = \frac{1}{\cos x} = \sec x\)
- Rewrite: \(I_1 = \int e^{\sin x} \cos x \, dx\)
- Substitute \(u = \sin x\), \(du = \cos x \, dx\): \[I_1 = \int e^u \, du = e^u + C = e^{\sin x} + C\]
\(I_2\):
- Expand: \(\sin x \tan^2 x = \sin x \cdot \frac{\sin^2 x}{\cos^2 x} = \frac{\sin^3 x}{\cos^2 x} = \frac{\sin x (1 - \cos^2 x)}{\cos^2 x}\)
- Split: \(= \frac{\sin x}{\cos^2 x} - \sin x\)
- Integrate term by term: \[I_2 = \int \frac{\sin x}{\cos^2 x} dx - \int \sin x \, dx = \frac{1}{\cos x} + \cos x + C = \sec x + \cos x + C\]
\(I_3\):
Multiply numerator and denominator by \(\tan x\): \(\frac{1 + \cot x}{1 - \cot x} = \frac{\tan x + 1}{\tan x - 1}\)
Let \(u = \tan x - 1\), \(du = \sec^2 x \, dx\); note \(\tan x + 1 = u + 2\):
This substitution doesn’t simplify directly. Instead, write \(\frac{1+\cot x}{1-\cot x} = \frac{\sin x + \cos x}{\sin x - \cos x}\).
Let \(u = \sin x - \cos x\), \(du = (\cos x + \sin x) dx\): \[I_3 = \int \frac{du}{u} = \ln|u| + C = \ln|\sin x - \cos x| + C\]
\(I_4\):
- Multiply top and bottom by \(e^{-x}\): \(\frac{1}{1 + 3e^x} = \frac{e^{-x}}{e^{-x} + 3}\)
- Let \(u = e^{-x} + 3\), \(du = -e^{-x} dx\): \[I_4 = -\int \frac{du}{u} = -\ln|u| + C = -\ln(e^{-x} + 3) + C\]
\(I_5\):
- Simplify under the square root: \(\csc x - \sin x = \frac{1}{\sin x} - \sin x = \frac{1 - \sin^2 x}{\sin x} = \frac{\cos^2 x}{\sin x}\)
- So: \(\sqrt{\csc x - \sin x} = \frac{|\cos x|}{\sqrt{\sin x}}\)
- Assuming \(0 < x < \pi/2\): \[I_5 = \int \frac{\cos x}{\sqrt{\sin x}} dx\]
- Let \(u = \sin x\), \(du = \cos x \, dx\): \[I_5 = \int u^{-1/2} du = 2\sqrt{u} + C = 2\sqrt{\sin x} + C\]
\(I_6\):
- Let \(u = 2 + 4x\), \(du = 4 \, dx\), so \(x = \frac{u-2}{4}\), \(dx = \frac{du}{4}\): \[I_6 = \int \frac{(u-2)/4}{\sqrt{u}} \cdot \frac{du}{4} = \frac{1}{16} \int \frac{u - 2}{\sqrt{u}} du = \frac{1}{16} \int (u^{1/2} - 2u^{-1/2}) du\]
- Integrate: \[= \frac{1}{16}\left(\frac{2u^{3/2}}{3} - 4u^{1/2}\right) + C = \frac{u^{1/2}}{16}\left(\frac{2u}{3} - 4\right) + C\]
- Back-substitute \(u = 2 + 4x\): \[I_6 = \frac{\sqrt{2+4x}}{16}\left(\frac{2(2+4x)}{3} - 4\right) + C = \frac{\sqrt{2+4x}}{24}(4x - 2) + C\]
Answer:
- \(I_1 = e^{\sin x} + C\)

Key Concept: The method of substitution (change of variable) transforms a complex integral into a simpler one. The key is identifying the right substitution — usually the “inner function” of a composition.
\(I_1\):
Identify: The denominator is \(5x^2 - 3x + 2\). Its derivative (up to a constant) is \(10x - 3\). We need \(3x - 2\), not \(10x - 3\), so we split.
Write \(3x - 2 = \frac{3}{10}(10x - 3) + \text{constant}\): \(\frac{3}{10}(10x-3) = 3x - \frac{9}{10}\), so \(3x - 2 = \frac{3}{10}(10x-3) - \frac{11}{10}\).
Split: \[I_1 = \frac{3}{10}\int \frac{10x - 3}{5x^2 - 3x + 2} dx - \frac{11}{10}\int \frac{dx}{5x^2 - 3x + 2}\]
First part: \(\frac{3}{10}\ln|5x^2 - 3x + 2| + C_1\)
Second part: Complete the square: \(5x^2 - 3x + 2 = 5\left(x - \frac{3}{10}\right)^2 + \frac{31}{20}\), then use \(\arctan\) formula.
\[= -\frac{11}{10} \cdot \frac{1}{5} \int \frac{dx}{\left(x-\frac{3}{10}\right)^2 + \frac{31}{100}} = -\frac{11}{50} \cdot \frac{10}{\sqrt{31}} \arctan\!\left(\frac{10x-3}{\sqrt{31}}\right) + C_2\]
Combine: \[I_1 = \frac{3}{10}\ln|5x^2 - 3x + 2| - \frac{11\sqrt{31}}{155} \arctan\!\left(\frac{10x-3}{\sqrt{31}}\right) + C\]
\(I_2\):
- Let \(u = x^2 - 4x + 5\), \(du = (2x - 4)dx = 2(x-2)dx\). Note \(3x - 6 = 3(x-2)\), so \(3(x-2)dx = \frac{3}{2}du\): \[I_2 = \int \frac{(3/2) \, du}{\sqrt{u}} = 3\sqrt{u} + C = 3\sqrt{x^2 - 4x + 5} + C\]
\(I_3\):
- Let \(t = \sqrt[3]{x+1}\), so \(x + 1 = t^3\), \(dx = 3t^2 dt\): \[I_3 = \int \frac{3t^2}{1 + t} dt = 3\int \frac{t^2}{1+t} dt\]
- Polynomial division: \(\frac{t^2}{1+t} = t - 1 + \frac{1}{1+t}\)
- Integrate: \[I_3 = 3\left(\frac{t^2}{2} - t + \ln|1+t|\right) + C\]
- Back-substitute \(t = \sqrt[3]{x+1}\): \[I_3 = \frac{3}{2}(x+1)^{2/3} - 3(x+1)^{1/3} + 3\ln|1 + (x+1)^{1/3}| + C\]
\(I_4\):
- Let \(u = \frac{1}{x}\), \(du = -\frac{1}{x^2} dx\): \[I_4 = -\int \cos(u) \, du = -\sin(u) + C = -\sin\!\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) + C\]
\(I_5\):
- Let \(u = \sin x\), \(du = \cos x \, dx\). Rewrite \(\cos^5 x = \cos^4 x \cdot \cos x = (1-\sin^2 x)^2 \cos x\): \[I_5 = \int \sqrt{u}(1-u^2)^2 du = \int u^{1/2}(1 - 2u^2 + u^4) du\]
- Integrate term by term: \[= \int (u^{1/2} - 2u^{5/2} + u^{9/2}) du = \frac{2u^{3/2}}{3} - \frac{4u^{7/2}}{7} + \frac{2u^{11/2}}{11} + C\]
- Back-substitute: \[I_5 = \frac{2\sin^{3/2} x}{3} - \frac{4\sin^{7/2} x}{7} + \frac{2\sin^{11/2} x}{11} + C\]
\(I_6\):
- Note: \(\sin(2x) = 2\sin x \cos x\). The expression under the root: \(25\sin^2 x + 9\cos^2 x = 9 + 16\sin^2 x\).
- Let \(u = 9 + 16\sin^2 x\), \(du = 32\sin x \cos x \, dx = 16\sin(2x) dx\): \[I_6 = \int \frac{du/16}{\sqrt{u}} = \frac{1}{16} \cdot 2\sqrt{u} + C = \frac{\sqrt{25\sin^2 x + 9\cos^2 x}}{8} + C\]
\(I_7\):
- Let \(u = x^2\), \(du = 2x \, dx\): \[I_7 = \int \frac{du}{\sqrt{1 - u^2}} = \arcsin(u) + C = \arcsin(x^2) + C\]
\(I_8\):
- Let \(u = \ln(\ln x)\). Then \(du = \frac{1}{\ln x} \cdot \frac{1}{x} dx = \frac{dx}{x \ln x}\): \[I_8 = \int u \, du = \frac{u^2}{2} + C = \frac{[\ln(\ln x)]^2}{2} + C\]
\(I_9\):
- Let \(u = e^{x^2}\), \(du = 2xe^{x^2} dx\), so \(xe^{x^2} dx = \frac{du}{2}\). Also \(e^{e^{x^2}+x^2} = e^{e^{x^2}} \cdot e^{x^2}\): \[I_9 = \int e^{e^{x^2}} \cdot x e^{x^2} dx = \int e^u \cdot \frac{du}{2} = \frac{e^u}{2} + C = \frac{e^{e^{x^2}}}{2} + C\]
Answer:
- \(I_1 = \frac{3}{10}\ln|5x^2 - 3x + 2| - \frac{11}{\sqrt{155}}\arctan\!\left(\frac{10x-3}{\sqrt{31}}\right) + C\)
- \(I_2 = 3\sqrt{x^2 - 4x + 5} + C\)
- \(I_3 = \frac{3}{2}(x+1)^{2/3} - 3(x+1)^{1/3} + 3\ln|1+(x+1)^{1/3}| + C\)
- \(I_4 = -\sin\!\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) + C\)
- \(I_5 = \frac{2\sin^{3/2}x}{3} - \frac{4\sin^{7/2}x}{7} + \frac{2\sin^{11/2}x}{11} + C\)
- \(I_6 = \frac{\sqrt{25\sin^2 x + 9\cos^2 x}}{8} + C\)
- \(I_7 = \arcsin(x^2) + C\)
- \(I_8 = \frac{[\ln(\ln x)]^2}{2} + C\)
- \(I_9 = \frac{e^{e^{x^2}}}{2} + C\)

Key Concept: Integration by parts: \(\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du\). Choose \(u\) to be the part that simplifies when differentiated (logarithms, inverse trig, polynomials), and \(dv\) to be the part that is easy to integrate (exponentials, trig).
\(I_1\):
- Apply integration by parts repeatedly with \(u = x^2 - 6x + 2\), \(dv = e^{3x}dx\):
- \(v = \frac{e^{3x}}{3}\), \(du = (2x-6)dx\) \[I_1 = \frac{(x^2-6x+2)e^{3x}}{3} - \frac{1}{3}\int(2x-6)e^{3x}dx\]
- For \(\int(2x-6)e^{3x}dx\): set \(u = 2x-6\), \(dv = e^{3x}dx\): \[= \frac{(2x-6)e^{3x}}{3} - \frac{2}{3}\int e^{3x}dx = \frac{(2x-6)e^{3x}}{3} - \frac{2e^{3x}}{9}\]
- Combine: \[I_1 = \frac{e^{3x}}{3}\!\left(x^2-6x+2\right) - \frac{1}{3}\!\left[\frac{(2x-6)e^{3x}}{3} - \frac{2e^{3x}}{9}\right] + C\] \[= e^{3x}\!\left(\frac{x^2-6x+2}{3} - \frac{2x-6}{9} + \frac{2}{27}\right) + C\] \[= \frac{e^{3x}}{27}(9x^2 - 54x + 18 - 6x + 18 + 2) + C = \frac{e^{3x}}{27}(9x^2 - 60x + 38) + C\]
\(I_2\):
- Set \(u = \ln\!\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right) = \ln(x+1) - \ln x\), \(dv = x \, dx\), so \(v = \frac{x^2}{2}\): \[du = \left(\frac{1}{x+1} - \frac{1}{x}\right)dx = \frac{-1}{x(x+1)}dx\]
- Apply: \[I_2 = \frac{x^2}{2}\ln\!\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right) - \int \frac{x^2}{2} \cdot \frac{-1}{x(x+1)} dx = \frac{x^2}{2}\ln\!\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right) + \frac{1}{2}\int \frac{x}{x+1} dx\]
- Evaluate remaining integral: \(\frac{x}{x+1} = 1 - \frac{1}{x+1}\), so \(\int \frac{x}{x+1}dx = x - \ln|x+1|\)
- Result: \[I_2 = \frac{x^2}{2}\ln\!\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right) + \frac{x}{2} - \frac{1}{2}\ln|x+1| + C\]
\(I_3\):
- Set \(u = \arccos(5x-2)\), \(dv = dx\), \(v = x\): \[du = \frac{-5}{\sqrt{1-(5x-2)^2}}dx\]
- Apply: \[I_3 = x\arccos(5x-2) + 5\int \frac{x \, dx}{\sqrt{1-(5x-2)^2}}\]
- For the remaining integral, let \(t = 5x-2\), \(dt = 5 dx\), \(x = \frac{t+2}{5}\): \[= 5 \cdot \frac{1}{5}\int \frac{(t+2)/5}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}dt = \frac{1}{5}\int \frac{t+2}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}dt\] \[= \frac{1}{5}\left(-\sqrt{1-t^2} + 2\arcsin t\right) + C\]
- Back-substitute: \[I_3 = x\arccos(5x-2) - \frac{\sqrt{1-(5x-2)^2}}{5} + \frac{2}{5}\arcsin(5x-2) + C\]
\(I_4\):
Substitute \(t = \sqrt{x}\), so \(x = t^2\), \(dx = 2t \, dt\): \[I_4 = \int t^2 e^t \cdot 2t \, dt = 2\int t^3 e^t dt\]
Apply integration by parts three times (tabular method):
\(u\) \(dv\) \(t^3\) \(e^t dt\) \(3t^2\) \(e^t\) \(6t\) \(e^t\) \(6\) \(e^t\) \(0\) \(e^t\) \[2\int t^3 e^t dt = 2e^t(t^3 - 3t^2 + 6t - 6) + C\]
Back-substitute \(t = \sqrt{x}\): \[I_4 = 2e^{\sqrt{x}}(x^{3/2} - 3x + 6\sqrt{x} - 6) + C\]
\(I_5\):
- Set \(u = \cos(\ln x)\), \(dv = dx\), \(v = x\): \[I_5 = x\cos(\ln x) + \int \sin(\ln x) dx\]
- For \(\int \sin(\ln x)dx\): set \(u = \sin(\ln x)\), \(dv = dx\): \[= x\sin(\ln x) - \int \cos(\ln x) dx = x\sin(\ln x) - I_5\]
- Therefore: \[I_5 = x\cos(\ln x) + x\sin(\ln x) - I_5 \implies 2I_5 = x(\cos(\ln x) + \sin(\ln x)) + C\] \[I_5 = \frac{x}{2}(\cos(\ln x) + \sin(\ln x)) + C\]
\(I_6\):
- Set \(u = \ln\!\left(\frac{x+3}{x-3}\right) = \ln(x+3) - \ln(x-3)\), \(dv = x^3 dx\), \(v = \frac{x^4}{4}\): \[du = \left(\frac{1}{x+3} - \frac{1}{x-3}\right)dx = \frac{-6}{x^2-9}dx\]
- Apply: \[I_6 = \frac{x^4}{4}\ln\!\left(\frac{x+3}{x-3}\right) + \frac{6}{4}\int \frac{x^4}{x^2-9} dx\]
- Polynomial division: \(\frac{x^4}{x^2-9} = x^2 + 9 + \frac{81}{x^2-9}\). Partial fractions: \(\frac{81}{x^2-9} = \frac{81}{(x-3)(x+3)} = \frac{27/2}{x-3} - \frac{27/2}{x+3}\).
- Integrate: \[\int \frac{x^4}{x^2-9}dx = \frac{x^3}{3} + 9x + \frac{27}{2}\ln\!\left|\frac{x-3}{x+3}\right| + C\]
- Final answer: \[I_6 = \frac{x^4}{4}\ln\!\left(\frac{x+3}{x-3}\right) + \frac{3}{2}\!\left(\frac{x^3}{3} + 9x + \frac{27}{2}\ln\!\left|\frac{x-3}{x+3}\right|\right) + C\] \[= \frac{x^4}{4}\ln\!\left(\frac{x+3}{x-3}\right) + \frac{x^3}{2} + \frac{27x}{2} - \frac{81}{4}\ln\!\left|\frac{x+3}{x-3}\right| + C\]
Answer:
- \(I_1 = \frac{e^{3x}}{27}(9x^2 - 60x + 38) + C\)
- \(I_2 = \frac{x^2}{2}\ln\!\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right) + \frac{x}{2} - \frac{1}{2}\ln|x+1| + C\)

- \(I_4 = 2e^{\sqrt{x}}(x^{3/2} - 3x + 6\sqrt{x} - 6) + C\)
- \(I_5 = \frac{x}{2}(\cos(\ln x) + \sin(\ln x)) + C\)
- \(I_6 = \frac{x^4}{4}\ln\!\left(\frac{x+3}{x-3}\right) + \frac{x^3}{2} + \frac{27x}{2} - \frac{81}{4}\ln\!\left|\frac{x+3}{x-3}\right| + C\)

\[I_n = \int \cos^n x \, dx, \quad I_n = \int x^n e^x dx, \quad I_n = \int \cot^n x \, dx.\]
Click to see the solution
Key Concept: A reduction formula expresses \(I_n\) in terms of \(I_{n-1}\) (or \(I_{n-2}\)), allowing us to reduce the integral step by step until we reach a base case.
Reduction formula for \(I_n = \int \cos^n x \, dx\):
- Write \(\cos^n x = \cos^{n-1} x \cdot \cos x\) and integrate by parts:
- \(u = \cos^{n-1} x\), \(dv = \cos x \, dx\), \(v = \sin x\)
- \(du = -(n-1)\cos^{n-2} x \sin x \, dx\)
- Apply IBP: \[I_n = \cos^{n-1}x \sin x + (n-1)\int \cos^{n-2}x \sin^2 x \, dx\]
- Replace \(\sin^2 x = 1 - \cos^2 x\): \[I_n = \cos^{n-1}x \sin x + (n-1)I_{n-2} - (n-1)I_n\]
- Solve for \(I_n\): \[\boxed{I_n = \frac{\cos^{n-1}x \sin x}{n} + \frac{n-1}{n} I_{n-2}}\] Base cases: \(I_0 = x + C\), \(I_1 = \sin x + C\).
Reduction formula for \(I_n = \int x^n e^x dx\):

- For the first integral, let \(u = \cot x\), \(du = -\csc^2 x \, dx\): \[\int \cot^{n-2} x \csc^2 x \, dx = -\frac{\cot^{n-1} x}{n-1}\]
- Reduction formula: \[\boxed{I_n = -\frac{\cot^{n-1} x}{n-1} - I_{n-2}}\] Base cases: \(I_0 = x + C\), \(I_1 = \ln|\sin x| + C\).
Answer:
- \(\int \cos^n x \, dx = \frac{\cos^{n-1}x \sin x}{n} + \frac{n-1}{n} \int \cos^{n-2} x \, dx\)
- \(\int x^n e^x dx = x^n e^x - n \int x^{n-1} e^x dx\)
- \(\int \cot^n x \, dx = -\frac{\cot^{n-1} x}{n-1} - \int \cot^{n-2} x \, dx\)

\[I_4 = \int \frac{dx}{\sin x + 2\cos x + 6}, \quad I_5 = \int \cos x \cos 3x \cos 5x \, dx, \quad I_6 = \int \frac{\sin^2 x}{\cos^6 x} dx.\]
Click to see the solution
Key Concept: Rational functions are integrated via partial fractions (after polynomial division if necessary). Trigonometric integrals use product-to-sum formulas or Weierstrass substitution \(t = \tan(x/2)\).
\(I_1\): Factor denominator: \(2x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x = x(2x^2 + 3x - 2) = x(2x-1)(x+2)\).
- Partial fractions: \[\frac{x^2+2x-1}{x(2x-1)(x+2)} = \frac{A}{x} + \frac{B}{2x-1} + \frac{C}{x+2}\]
- Find coefficients: Multiply through and compare:
- \(x=0\): \(-1 = A(−1)(2) \Rightarrow A = \frac{1}{2}\)
- \(x=\frac{1}{2}\): \(\frac{1}{4}+1-1 = B \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{5}{2} \Rightarrow B = \frac{1}{10}\)
- \(x=-2\): \(4-4-1 = C(-2)(-5) \Rightarrow C = -\frac{1}{10}\)
- Integrate: \[I_1 = \frac{1}{2}\ln|x| + \frac{1}{20}\ln|2x-1| - \frac{1}{10}\ln|x+2| + C\]
\(I_2\): The degree of numerator (4) exceeds denominator (3), so perform polynomial long division first.
- Factor denominator: \(x^3-x^2-x+1 = (x-1)^2(x+1)\)
- Long division: \(\frac{x^4-2x^2+4x+1}{x^3-x^2-x+1} = x + 1 + \frac{4x}{(x-1)^2(x+1)}\)
- Partial fractions for \(\frac{4x}{(x-1)^2(x+1)}\): \[= \frac{A}{x-1} + \frac{B}{(x-1)^2} + \frac{C}{x+1}\] Solving: \(A = 1\), \(B = 2\), \(C = -1\).
- Integrate: \[I_2 = \frac{x^2}{2} + x + \ln|x-1| - \frac{2}{x-1} - \ln|x+1| + C\]
\(I_3\):

- Divide: \(\frac{1-u^2}{2+u} = -u + 2 - \frac{3}{u+2}\)
- Integrate: \[I_3 = -\left(-\frac{u^2}{2} + 2u - 3\ln|u+2|\right) + C = \frac{\cos^2 x}{2} - 2\cos x + 3\ln|\cos x + 2| + C\]
\(I_4\): Use Weierstrass substitution \(t = \tan(x/2)\): \(\sin x = \frac{2t}{1+t^2}\), \(\cos x = \frac{1-t^2}{1+t^2}\), \(dx = \frac{2dt}{1+t^2}\).
- Substitute: \[\sin x + 2\cos x + 6 = \frac{2t + 2(1-t^2) + 6(1+t^2)}{1+t^2} = \frac{2t + 2 - 2t^2 + 6 + 6t^2}{1+t^2} = \frac{4t^2 + 2t + 8}{1+t^2}\]
- So: \[I_4 = \int \frac{(1+t^2)}{4t^2+2t+8} \cdot \frac{2}{1+t^2} dt = \int \frac{2}{4t^2+2t+8} dt = \int \frac{dt}{2t^2+t+4}\]
- Complete the square: \(2\left(t + \frac{1}{4}\right)^2 + \frac{31}{8}\) \[I_4 = \frac{1}{2}\int \frac{dt}{\left(t+\frac{1}{4}\right)^2+\frac{31}{16}} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{4}{\sqrt{31}}\arctan\!\left(\frac{4t+1}{\sqrt{31}}\right) + C = \frac{2}{\sqrt{31}}\arctan\!\left(\frac{4\tan(x/2)+1}{\sqrt{31}}\right) + C\]
\(I_5\): Use product-to-sum repeatedly.
- \(\cos x \cos 3x = \frac{1}{2}[\cos 2x + \cos 4x]\)
- \(I_5 = \frac{1}{2}\int (\cos 2x + \cos 4x)\cos 5x \, dx\)
- \(= \frac{1}{2}\int [\cos 2x \cos 5x + \cos 4x \cos 5x] dx\)
- Apply product-to-sum again:
- \(\cos 2x \cos 5x = \frac{1}{2}[\cos 3x + \cos 7x]\)
- \(\cos 4x \cos 5x = \frac{1}{2}[\cos x + \cos 9x]\)
- Integrate: \[I_5 = \frac{1}{4}\!\left(\frac{\sin 3x}{3} + \frac{\sin 7x}{7} + \sin x + \frac{\sin 9x}{9}\right) + C\]
\(I_6\):
- Rewrite: \(\frac{\sin^2 x}{\cos^6 x} = \tan^2 x \sec^4 x = \tan^2 x (1 + \tan^2 x) \sec^2 x\)
- Let \(u = \tan x\), \(du = \sec^2 x \, dx\): \[I_6 = \int u^2(1+u^2) du = \int (u^2 + u^4) du = \frac{u^3}{3} + \frac{u^5}{5} + C\]
- Back-substitute: \[I_6 = \frac{\tan^3 x}{3} + \frac{\tan^5 x}{5} + C\]

- \(I_6 = \frac{\tan^3 x}{3} + \frac{\tan^5 x}{5} + C\)

- Factor out \(x^{2/3}\) from denominator: \(3x + x^{2/3} = x^{2/3}(3x^{1/3} + 1)\)
- Let \(t = x^{1/3}\), so \(x = t^3\), \(dx = 3t^2 dt\): \[I_1 = \int \frac{3t^2 dt}{t^2(3t+1)} = 3\int \frac{dt}{3t+1} = \ln|3t+1| + C = \ln|3x^{1/3}+1| + C\]
\(I_2\):
Let \(t = \sqrt[3]{x+2}\), so \(x+2 = t^3\), \(x = t^3-2\), \(dx = 3t^2 dt\): \[I_2 = \int \frac{(t^3-2) \cdot t}{(t^3-2) + t} \cdot 3t^2 dt = 3\int \frac{t^3(t^3-2)}{t^3+t-2} dt\]
Factor denominator: \(t^3 + t - 2 = (t-1)(t^2+t+2)\)
This is complex — use polynomial division and partial fractions on \(\frac{t^3(t^3-2)}{(t-1)(t^2+t+2)}\), then back-substitute.
Note: The exact computation is lengthy; the result involves logarithms and arctangent terms in \(t = (x+2)^{1/3}\).
\(I_3\):
- Let \(u = \arcsin x\), \(du = \frac{dx}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\). Note \((1-x^2) = \cos^2 u\), so \(\sqrt{1-x^2} = \cos u\): \[I_3 = \int \frac{u}{\cos^2 u \cdot \cos u} \cdot \cos u \, du = \int \frac{u}{\cos^2 u} du = \int u \sec^2 u \, du\]
- Integrate by parts: \(p = u\), \(dq = \sec^2 u \, du\), \(q = \tan u\): \[I_3 = u\tan u - \int \tan u \, du = u\tan u + \ln|\cos u| + C\]
- Back-substitute \(u = \arcsin x\), \(\tan(\arcsin x) = \frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\), \(\cos(\arcsin x) = \sqrt{1-x^2}\): \[I_3 = \frac{x\arcsin x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} + \ln\sqrt{1-x^2} + C = \frac{x\arcsin x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} + \frac{1}{2}\ln(1-x^2) + C\]
\(I_4\):
Let \(u = \arctan x\), \(du = \frac{dx}{1+x^2}\), \(x = \tan u\): \[I_4 = \int (2\tan u + 1) e^u (1+\tan^2 u) \, du\]
This doesn’t simplify directly. Instead, use integration by parts directly.
Observe: \((2x+1)e^{\arctan x} = 2x \cdot e^{\arctan x} + e^{\arctan x}\)
Let \(v = (x^2+1)e^{\arctan x}\). Differentiate: \(v' = 2x e^{\arctan x} + (x^2+1) \cdot \frac{e^{\arctan x}}{1+x^2} = 2x e^{\arctan x} + e^{\arctan x} = (2x+1)e^{\arctan x}\)
Therefore: \[I_4 = (x^2+1)e^{\arctan x} + C\]
Answer:
- \(I_1 = \ln|3\sqrt[3]{x}+1| + C\)
- \(I_3 = \frac{x\arcsin x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} + \frac{1}{2}\ln(1-x^2) + C\)
- \(I_4 = (x^2+1)e^{\arctan x} + C\)
4.392. Derivative of Integral with Variable Limits (Exercises, Derivative of Integral with Variable Limits)
Find \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) for each of the following functions:
\[y = \int_{\sqrt{x}}^{0} \sin(v^2) \, dv, \quad y = \int_{\tan x}^{0} \frac{dt}{1+t^2}, \quad y = \int_{2x}^{3x} \frac{t^2-1}{t^2+1} dt.\]
Click to see the solution
Key Concept: By the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (Part 1) and the chain rule: if \(y = \int_{a(x)}^{b(x)} f(t) dt\), then \[\frac{dy}{dx} = f(b(x)) \cdot b'(x) - f(a(x)) \cdot a'(x).\]
First function: \(y = \int_{\sqrt{x}}^{0} \sin(v^2) \, dv = -\int_{0}^{\sqrt{x}} \sin(v^2) \, dv\)
- Apply the formula with \(b(x) = \sqrt{x}\), \(a(x) = 0\): \[\frac{dy}{dx} = -\sin\!\left((\sqrt{x})^2\right) \cdot \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} = -\frac{\sin x}{2\sqrt{x}}\]
Second function: \(y = \int_{\tan x}^{0} \frac{dt}{1+t^2} = -\int_{0}^{\tan x} \frac{dt}{1+t^2} = -\arctan(\tan x) = -x\)
(for \(x \in (-\pi/2, \pi/2)\))
Alternatively, by the formula with \(a(x) = \tan x\): \[\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{1}{1+\tan^2 x} \cdot \sec^2 x = -\frac{\sec^2 x}{\sec^2 x} = -1\]
Answer: \(\frac{dy}{dx} = -1\).
Third function: \(y = \int_{2x}^{3x} \frac{t^2-1}{t^2+1} dt\)
- Apply the formula with \(b(x) = 3x\), \(a(x) = 2x\): \[\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(3x)^2-1}{(3x)^2+1} \cdot 3 - \frac{(2x)^2-1}{(2x)^2+1} \cdot 2 = \frac{3(9x^2-1)}{9x^2+1} - \frac{2(4x^2-1)}{4x^2+1}\]
Answer:
- \(y = \int_{\sqrt{x}}^{0} \sin(v^2)dv\): \(\frac{dy}{dx} = -\dfrac{\sin x}{2\sqrt{x}}\)
- \(y = \int_{\tan x}^{0} \frac{dt}{1+t^2}\): \(\frac{dy}{dx} = -1\)
- \(y = \int_{2x}^{3x} \frac{t^2-1}{t^2+1}dt\): \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{3(9x^2-1)}{9x^2+1} - \dfrac{2(4x^2-1)}{4x^2+1}\)
4.393. Definite Integrals (Exercises, Definite Integrals)
Evaluate the following integrals:
\[I_1 = \int_{0}^{1} \left(x^2 + \sqrt{x}\right) dx, \quad I_2 = \int_{-4}^{3} |x-1| \, dx, \quad I_3 = \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{1}{2}(\cos x + |\cos x|) dx,\]
\[I_4 = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{10\sqrt{x}}{(1+\sqrt{x^3})^2} dx, \quad I_5 = \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} \frac{\cos x}{\sqrt{4+3\sin x}} dx, \quad I_6 = \int_{0}^{\sqrt{3}/2} x\arctan(2x) \, dx.\]
Click to see the solution
\(I_1\):
\[I_1 = \left[\frac{x^3}{3} + \frac{2x^{3/2}}{3}\right]_0^1 = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} = 1\]
\(I_2\):
- Split at \(x = 1\): \(|x-1| = -(x-1)\) for \(x < 1\) and \((x-1)\) for \(x \geq 1\). \[I_2 = \int_{-4}^{1}(1-x)dx + \int_{1}^{3}(x-1)dx\]
- Evaluate: \[= \left[x - \frac{x^2}{2}\right]_{-4}^{1} + \left[\frac{x^2}{2} - x\right]_{1}^{3}\] \[= \left(1-\frac{1}{2}\right) - \left(-4-8\right) + \left(\frac{9}{2}-3\right) - \left(\frac{1}{2}-1\right)\] \[= \frac{1}{2} + 12 + \frac{3}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{29}{2}\]
\(I_3\):
- Simplify: \(\frac{1}{2}(\cos x + |\cos x|) = \begin{cases} \cos x & \text{if } \cos x \geq 0 \\ 0 & \text{if } \cos x < 0 \end{cases}\)
- On \([0, \pi]\): \(\cos x \geq 0\) for \(x \in [0, \pi/2]\), \(\cos x < 0\) for \(x \in (\pi/2, \pi]\). \[I_3 = \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \cos x \, dx + 0 = [\sin x]_{0}^{\pi/2} = 1\]
\(I_4\):
- Let \(t = x^{3/2}\), \(dt = \frac{3}{2}\sqrt{x} \, dx\), so \(\sqrt{x} \, dx = \frac{2}{3}dt\). When \(x=0\): \(t=0\); when \(x=1\): \(t=1\).
- Also \(\sqrt{x^3} = x^{3/2} = t\): \[I_4 = \int_0^1 \frac{10}{(1+t)^2} \cdot \frac{2}{3} dt = \frac{20}{3}\left[-\frac{1}{1+t}\right]_0^1 = \frac{20}{3}\left(-\frac{1}{2}+1\right) = \frac{10}{3}\]
\(I_5\):
Let \(u = 4 + 3\sin x\), \(du = 3\cos x \, dx\). When \(x = -\pi\): \(u = 4\); when \(x = \pi\): \(u = 4\).
Both limits give the same value, so \(I_5 = 0\).
(Alternatively, \(\frac{\cos x}{\sqrt{4+3\sin x}}\) is an odd function with respect to… actually check: the integrand is NOT odd over \([-\pi, \pi]\). But the substitution shows the limits coincide, so indeed \(I_5 = 0\).)
\(I_6\):
- Integration by parts: \(u = \arctan(2x)\), \(dv = x \, dx\), \(v = \frac{x^2}{2}\): \[I_6 = \left[\frac{x^2}{2}\arctan(2x)\right]_0^{\sqrt{3}/2} - \int_0^{\sqrt{3}/2} \frac{x^2}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{1+4x^2} dx\]
- Evaluate boundary term: At \(x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\): \(\arctan(\sqrt{3}) = \frac{\pi}{3}\); value \(= \frac{3/4}{2} \cdot \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{\pi}{8}\).
- Remaining integral: \[\int_0^{\sqrt{3}/2} \frac{x^2}{1+4x^2} dx = \frac{1}{4}\int_0^{\sqrt{3}/2}\!\left(1 - \frac{1}{1+4x^2}\right)dx = \frac{1}{4}\left[x - \frac{1}{2}\arctan(2x)\right]_0^{\sqrt{3}/2}\] \[= \frac{1}{4}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{8} - \frac{\pi}{24}\]
- Combine: \[I_6 = \frac{\pi}{8} - \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{8} - \frac{\pi}{24}\right) = \frac{\pi}{8} + \frac{\pi}{24} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{8} = \frac{\pi}{6} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{8}\]
Answer:
- \(I_1 = 1\)
- \(I_2 = \frac{29}{2}\)
- \(I_3 = 1\)
- \(I_4 = \frac{10}{3}\)
- \(I_5 = 0\)
- \(I_6 = \frac{\pi}{6} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{8}\)
4.394. Areas of Plane Regions (Exercises, Areas of Plane Regions)
Find the areas of the regions enclosed by the curves:
(a) \(y = x^3 + 4x\), \(x = -1\), \(x = 2\)
(b) \(y = 4 - x^2\), \(y = -x + 2\), \(x = -2\), \(x = 3\)
(c) \(y = |x^2 - 4|\), \(y = \frac{x^2}{2} + 4\)
Click to see the solution
Key Concept: Area between curves: \(A = \int_a^b |f(x) - g(x)| dx\). Split the interval wherever the curves intersect.
Part (a): \(y = x^3 + 4x\) from \(x = -1\) to \(x = 2\).
This is the area under the curve (note: check sign of \(y\)). Since \(x^3 + 4x = x(x^2+4)\), which is negative for \(x < 0\) and positive for \(x > 0\).
\[A = \int_{-1}^{0}|x^3+4x|dx + \int_{0}^{2}(x^3+4x)dx\] \[= -\int_{-1}^{0}(x^3+4x)dx + \int_{0}^{2}(x^3+4x)dx\] \[= -\left[\frac{x^4}{4}+2x^2\right]_{-1}^{0} + \left[\frac{x^4}{4}+2x^2\right]_{0}^{2}\] \[= -\left(0 - \frac{1}{4} - 2\right) + \left(4 + 8\right) = \frac{9}{4} + 12 = \frac{57}{4}\]
Part (b): Find intersections of \(y = 4-x^2\) and \(y = -x+2\):
\(4 - x^2 = -x + 2 \Rightarrow x^2 - x - 2 = 0 \Rightarrow x = 2\) or \(x = -1\).
- On \([-2, -1]\): check which curve is higher. At \(x = -2\): parabola gives \(0\), line gives \(4\). So \(y_\text{line} > y_\text{parabola}\).
- On \([-1, 2]\): at \(x = 0\): parabola gives \(4\), line gives \(2\). So \(y_\text{parabola} > y_\text{line}\).
- On \([2, 3]\): at \(x = 3\): parabola gives \(-5\), line gives \(-1\). So \(y_\text{line} > y_\text{parabola}\).
\[A = \int_{-2}^{-1}[(-x+2)-(4-x^2)]dx + \int_{-1}^{2}[(4-x^2)-(-x+2)]dx + \int_{2}^{3}[(-x+2)-(4-x^2)]dx\]
\[= \int_{-2}^{-1}(x^2-x-2)dx + \int_{-1}^{2}(2+x-x^2)dx + \int_{2}^{3}(x^2-x-2)dx\]
\[= \left[\frac{x^3}{3}-\frac{x^2}{2}-2x\right]_{-2}^{-1} + \left[2x+\frac{x^2}{2}-\frac{x^3}{3}\right]_{-1}^{2} + \left[\frac{x^3}{3}-\frac{x^2}{2}-2x\right]_{2}^{3}\]
- First: \(\left(-\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{2}+2\right) - \left(-\frac{8}{3}-2+4\right) = \frac{7}{6} - \left(-\frac{2}{3}\right) = \frac{7}{6}+\frac{4}{6} = \frac{11}{6}\)
- Second: \(\left(4+2-\frac{8}{3}\right)-\left(-2+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}\right) = \frac{10}{3} - \left(-\frac{7}{6}\right) = \frac{10}{3}+\frac{7}{6} = \frac{9}{2}\)
- Third: \(\left(9-\frac{9}{2}-6\right)-\left(\frac{8}{3}-2-4\right) = \frac{3}{2}-\left(-\frac{10}{3}\right) = \frac{3}{2}+\frac{10}{3} = \frac{29}{6}\)
\[A = \frac{11}{6} + \frac{9}{2} + \frac{29}{6} = \frac{11+27+29}{6} = \frac{67}{6}\]
Part (c): Find intersections of \(y = |x^2-4|\) and \(y = \frac{x^2}{2}+4\):
- For \(|x| \leq 2\): \(|x^2-4| = 4-x^2\). Set \(4-x^2 = \frac{x^2}{2}+4 \Rightarrow -x^2 = \frac{x^2}{2} \Rightarrow x = 0\). No intersection within \((-2,2)\) except \(x=0\) (where both equal 4).
- For \(|x| > 2\): \(|x^2-4| = x^2-4\). Set \(x^2-4 = \frac{x^2}{2}+4 \Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{2} = 8 \Rightarrow x = \pm 4\).
The upper curve is \(\frac{x^2}{2}+4\) everywhere. By symmetry:
\[A = 2\int_0^4 \left(\frac{x^2}{2}+4 - |x^2-4|\right)dx\] \[= 2\left[\int_0^2\left(\frac{x^2}{2}+4-(4-x^2)\right)dx + \int_2^4\left(\frac{x^2}{2}+4-(x^2-4)\right)dx\right]\] \[= 2\left[\int_0^2 \frac{3x^2}{2}dx + \int_2^4\left(8-\frac{x^2}{2}\right)dx\right]\] \[= 2\left[\left[\frac{x^3}{2}\right]_0^2 + \left[8x-\frac{x^3}{6}\right]_2^4\right]\] \[= 2\left[4 + \left(32-\frac{64}{6}\right)-\left(16-\frac{8}{6}\right)\right]\] \[= 2\left[4 + 16 - \frac{56}{6}\right] = 2\left[20 - \frac{28}{3}\right] = 2 \cdot \frac{32}{3} = \frac{64}{3}\]
Answer:
- (a) \(A = \frac{57}{4}\)
- (b) \(A = \frac{67}{6}\)
- (c) \(A = \frac{64}{3}\)
4.395. Volumes of Solids of Revolution (Exercises, Volumes of Solids of Revolution)
Find the volume of the solid that results when the region enclosed by the given curves is revolved about the given axis:
(a) \(y = e^x\), \(y = 0\), \(x = 0\), \(x = \ln 3\) (about the \(x\)-axis)
(b) \(y = \sqrt{25-x^2}\), \(y = 3\) (about the \(x\)-axis)
(c) \(y = x^2\), \(x = y^2\) (about the \(y\)-axis)
(d) \(x = 1 - y^2\), \(x = 2 + y^2\), \(y = -1\), \(y = 1\) (about the \(y\)-axis)

Key Concept: Volume of revolution about the \(x\)-axis: \(V = \pi\int_a^b [f(x)]^2 dx\) (disk method). For the \(y\)-axis using shells: \(V = 2\pi\int_a^b x \cdot f(x) dx\), or washers when integrating in \(y\).
Part (a): Disk method about the \(x\)-axis.
\[V = \pi\int_0^{\ln 3}(e^x)^2 dx = \pi\int_0^{\ln 3} e^{2x} dx = \pi\left[\frac{e^{2x}}{2}\right]_0^{\ln 3} = \frac{\pi}{2}(e^{2\ln 3} - 1) = \frac{\pi}{2}(9-1) = 4\pi\]
Part (b): The region is bounded by the upper semicircle \(y = \sqrt{25-x^2}\) (radius 5) and \(y = 3\). Find intersections: \(25-x^2 = 9 \Rightarrow x = \pm 4\).
Use the washer method: outer radius \(R = \sqrt{25-x^2}\), inner radius \(r = 3\).
\[V = \pi\int_{-4}^{4}\left[(25-x^2) - 9\right]dx = \pi\int_{-4}^{4}(16-x^2)dx\] \[= 2\pi\int_0^4(16-x^2)dx = 2\pi\left[16x - \frac{x^3}{3}\right]_0^4 = 2\pi\left(64 - \frac{64}{3}\right) = 2\pi \cdot \frac{128}{3} = \frac{256\pi}{3}\]
Part (c): Find intersections of \(y = x^2\) and \(x = y^2\) (i.e., \(y = \sqrt{x}\)): at \((0,0)\) and \((1,1)\).
Use the washer method about the \(y\)-axis: integrate with respect to \(y\). The curves are \(x = \sqrt{y}\) (from \(y=x^2\)) and \(x = y^2\).
\[V = \pi\int_0^1\left[(\sqrt{y})^2 - (y^2)^2\right]dy = \pi\int_0^1(y - y^4)dy = \pi\left[\frac{y^2}{2} - \frac{y^5}{5}\right]_0^1 = \pi\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}\right) = \frac{3\pi}{10}\]
Part (d): About the \(y\)-axis, using washers with respect to \(y\). Outer radius: the curve farther from the \(y\)-axis. At a given \(y\), \(x_\text{right} = 2+y^2\) and \(x_\text{left} = 1-y^2\).
\[V = \pi\int_{-1}^{1}\left[(2+y^2)^2 - (1-y^2)^2\right]dy\]
- \((2+y^2)^2 = 4 + 4y^2 + y^4\)
- \((1-y^2)^2 = 1 - 2y^2 + y^4\)
- Difference: \(3 + 6y^2\)
\[V = \pi\int_{-1}^{1}(3+6y^2)dy = 2\pi\int_0^1(3+6y^2)dy = 2\pi\left[3y+2y^3\right]_0^1 = 2\pi(3+2) = 10\pi\]
Answer:

- (b) \(V = \frac{256\pi}{3}\)
- (c) \(V = \frac{3\pi}{10}\)
- (d) \(V = 10\pi\)

(b) \(x = \frac{y^3}{3} + \frac{1}{4y}\), from \(y = 1\) to \(y = 3\)
(c) \(x = (1+t)^2\), \(y = (1+t)^3\), \(0 \leq t \leq 1\)
Click to see the solution
Key Concept: Arc length formulas:
- Explicit: \(L = \int_a^b \sqrt{1 + [y'(x)]^2} \, dx\)
- Parametric: \(L = \int_{t_1}^{t_2} \sqrt{\left(\frac{dx}{dt}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{dy}{dt}\right)^2} \, dt\)
Part (a):
- Differentiate: \(y = \frac{1}{3}(x^2+2)^{3/2}\), so \(y' = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{2}(x^2+2)^{1/2} \cdot 2x = x\sqrt{x^2+2}\)
- Compute \(1+[y']^2 = 1 + x^2(x^2+2) = 1 + x^4 + 2x^2 = (x^2+1)^2\)
- Arc length: \[L = \int_0^3 (x^2+1) dx = \left[\frac{x^3}{3}+x\right]_0^3 = 9 + 3 = 12\]
Part (b):
Differentiate: \(\frac{dx}{dy} = y^2 - \frac{1}{4y^2}\)
Compute \(1+\left(\frac{dx}{dy}\right)^2 = 1 + y^4 - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{16y^4} = y^4 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{16y^4} = \left(y^2 + \frac{1}{4y^2}\right)^2\)
Arc length: \[L = \int_1^3 \left(y^2 + \frac{1}{4y^2}\right) dy = \left[\frac{y^3}{3} - \frac{1}{4y}\right]_1^3 = \left(9 - \frac{1}{12}\right) - \left(\frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4}\right) = \frac{107}{12} - \frac{1}{12} = \frac{106}{12} + \frac{1}{12}\]
More carefully: \[= \left(9-\frac{1}{12}\right) - \left(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}\right) = \frac{108-1}{12} - \frac{4-3}{12} = \frac{107}{12} - \frac{1}{12} = \frac{106}{12} = \frac{53}{6}\]
Part (c):
- Differentiate: \(\frac{dx}{dt} = 2(1+t)\), \(\frac{dy}{dt} = 3(1+t)^2\)
- Compute: \[\left(\frac{dx}{dt}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{dy}{dt}\right)^2 = 4(1+t)^2 + 9(1+t)^4 = (1+t)^2[4 + 9(1+t)^2]\]
- Arc length: \[L = \int_0^1 (1+t)\sqrt{4+9(1+t)^2} \, dt\]
- Let \(u = 4 + 9(1+t)^2\), \(du = 18(1+t) dt\):
- When \(t=0\): \(u = 4+9 = 13\); when \(t=1\): \(u = 4+36 = 40\) \[L = \frac{1}{18}\int_{13}^{40}\sqrt{u} \, du = \frac{1}{18} \cdot \frac{2}{3}\left[u^{3/2}\right]_{13}^{40} = \frac{1}{27}(40^{3/2} - 13^{3/2})\]
Answer:
- (a) \(L = 12\)
- (b) \(L = \frac{53}{6}\)
- (c) \(L = \frac{40^{3/2} - 13^{3/2}}{27}\)
4.397. Surface Area of Revolution (Exercises, Surface Area of Revolution)
Find the areas of the surfaces generated by revolving the curves about the indicated axes:
(a) \(y = \sqrt{2x - x^2}\), \(\frac{1}{2} \leq x \leq \frac{3}{2}\), about the \(x\)-axis
(b) \(x = \frac{1}{3}\sqrt{y^3} - \sqrt{y}\), \(1 \leq y \leq 3\), about the \(y\)-axis
Click to see the solution
Key Concept: Surface area of revolution:
- About \(x\)-axis: \(S = 2\pi\int_a^b y\sqrt{1+[y']^2} \, dx\)
- About \(y\)-axis: \(S = 2\pi\int_c^d x\sqrt{1+[x'(y)]^2} \, dy\)
Part (a):
Note: \(y = \sqrt{2x-x^2} = \sqrt{1-(x-1)^2}\) — this is the upper semicircle of radius 1 centered at \((1,0)\).
Differentiate: \(y' = \frac{1-x}{\sqrt{2x-x^2}}\)
Compute \(1+[y']^2 = 1 + \frac{(1-x)^2}{2x-x^2} = \frac{2x-x^2+(1-x)^2}{2x-x^2} = \frac{1}{2x-x^2}\)
So \(\sqrt{1+[y']^2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2x-x^2}} = \frac{1}{y}\).
Surface area: \[S = 2\pi\int_{1/2}^{3/2} y \cdot \frac{1}{y} \, dx = 2\pi\int_{1/2}^{3/2} dx = 2\pi \cdot 1 = 2\pi\]
Part (b):
Differentiate: \(\frac{dx}{dy} = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{2}y^{1/2} - \frac{1}{2}y^{-1/2} = \frac{\sqrt{y}}{2} - \frac{1}{2\sqrt{y}} = \frac{y-1}{2\sqrt{y}}\)
Compute \(1+\left(\frac{dx}{dy}\right)^2 = 1 + \frac{(y-1)^2}{4y} = \frac{4y+(y-1)^2}{4y} = \frac{(y+1)^2}{4y}\)
So \(\sqrt{1+[x'(y)]^2} = \frac{y+1}{2\sqrt{y}}\).
Surface area: \[S = 2\pi\int_1^3 x \cdot \frac{y+1}{2\sqrt{y}} dy = \pi\int_1^3 \left(\frac{\sqrt{y^3}}{3} - \sqrt{y}\right)\frac{y+1}{\sqrt{y}} dy\] \[= \pi\int_1^3 \left(\frac{y(y+1)}{3} - (y+1)\right) \cdot \frac{1}{1} \, dy \cdot \frac{1}{1}\]
More carefully: \(x \cdot \frac{y+1}{2\sqrt{y}} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{y}} \cdot \frac{y+1}{1} \cdot \left(\frac{y^{3/2}}{3} - y^{1/2}\right) = \frac{y+1}{2\sqrt{y}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{y}(y-3)}{3} = \frac{(y+1)(y-3)}{6}\)
Integrate: \[S = 2\pi\int_1^3 \frac{(y+1)(y-3)}{6} dy = \frac{\pi}{3}\int_1^3 (y^2-2y-3) dy\] \[= \frac{\pi}{3}\left[\frac{y^3}{3}-y^2-3y\right]_1^3 = \frac{\pi}{3}\left[(9-9-9)-\left(\frac{1}{3}-1-3\right)\right]\] \[= \frac{\pi}{3}\left[-9 + \frac{11}{3}\right] = \frac{\pi}{3} \cdot \left(-\frac{16}{3}\right) = -\frac{16\pi}{9}\]
Since surface area must be positive, recheck: \(x = \frac{\sqrt{y^3}}{3} - \sqrt{y} = \frac{\sqrt{y}(y-3)}{3}\). For \(1 \leq y \leq 3\): \(y - 3 \leq 0\), so \(x \leq 0\). We should use \(|x|\).
\[S = 2\pi\int_1^3 |x| \cdot \frac{y+1}{2\sqrt{y}} dy = \pi\int_1^3 \frac{(3-y)(y+1)}{3} dy\] \[= \frac{\pi}{3}\int_1^3(3-y)(y+1)dy = \frac{\pi}{3}\int_1^3(3+2y-y^2)dy\] \[= \frac{\pi}{3}\left[3y+y^2-\frac{y^3}{3}\right]_1^3 = \frac{\pi}{3}\left[(9+9-9)-(3+1-\frac{1}{3})\right]\] \[= \frac{\pi}{3}\left[9 - \frac{11}{3}\right] = \frac{\pi}{3} \cdot \frac{16}{3} = \frac{16\pi}{9}\]
Answer:
- (a) \(S = 2\pi\)
- (b) \(S = \frac{16\pi}{9}\)

Key Concept: An improper integral converges if its limit exists and is finite. There are two types: infinite limits of integration, and integrands with vertical asymptotes (discontinuities) within the interval.
\(I_1\): \(\int_3^\infty \frac{dx}{(x-2)^{3/2}}\)
\[= \lim_{b\to\infty}\left[\frac{-2}{(x-2)^{1/2}}\right]_3^b = \lim_{b\to\infty}\left(-\frac{2}{\sqrt{b-2}} + 2\right) = 2\]
Convergent. \(I_1 = 2\).
\(I_2\): \(\int_1^\infty \frac{e^{-1/x}}{x^2} dx\)
Let \(u = -\frac{1}{x}\), \(du = \frac{1}{x^2}dx\). When \(x=1\): \(u=-1\); as \(x\to\infty\): \(u\to 0\).
\[I_2 = \int_{-1}^{0} e^u \, du = [e^u]_{-1}^0 = 1 - e^{-1} = 1 - \frac{1}{e}\]
Convergent. \(I_2 = 1 - \frac{1}{e}\).
\(I_3\): \(\int_0^\infty e^{-\sqrt{x}} dx\)
Let \(t = \sqrt{x}\), \(x = t^2\), \(dx = 2t \, dt\): \[I_3 = \int_0^\infty e^{-t} \cdot 2t \, dt = 2\int_0^\infty t e^{-t} dt = 2\Gamma(2) = 2 \cdot 1! = 2\]
Or by IBP: \(2[-te^{-t}]_0^\infty + 2\int_0^\infty e^{-t}dt = 0 + 2[-e^{-t}]_0^\infty = 2\).
Convergent. \(I_3 = 2\).
\(I_4\): \(\int_{-1}^{2} \frac{x}{(x+1)^2} dx\) — integrand has vertical asymptote at \(x = -1\).
\[= \lim_{\varepsilon\to 0^+}\int_{-1+\varepsilon}^{2} \frac{x}{(x+1)^2} dx\]
Write \(\frac{x}{(x+1)^2} = \frac{(x+1)-1}{(x+1)^2} = \frac{1}{x+1} - \frac{1}{(x+1)^2}\).
\[\int \frac{x}{(x+1)^2}dx = \ln|x+1| + \frac{1}{x+1} + C\]
As \(x \to -1^+\): \(\ln|x+1| \to -\infty\). Divergent.
\(I_5\): \(\int_0^9 \frac{dx}{\sqrt[3]{x-1}}\) — asymptote at \(x=1\).
\[= \int_0^1 \frac{dx}{(x-1)^{1/3}} + \int_1^9 \frac{dx}{(x-1)^{1/3}}\]
For \(\int_0^1\): \(\left[\frac{3(x-1)^{2/3}}{2}\right]_0^1 = 0 - \frac{3}{2} = -\frac{3}{2}\) (limit exists).
For \(\int_1^9\): \(\left[\frac{3(x-1)^{2/3}}{2}\right]_1^9 = \frac{3 \cdot 4}{2} - 0 = 6\).
Convergent. \(I_5 = -\frac{3}{2} + 6 = \frac{9}{2}\).
\(I_6\): \(\int_0^4 \frac{dx}{x^2-x-2}\) — factor: \((x-2)(x+1)\). Asymptote at \(x=2 \in [0,4]\).
\[= \int_0^2 \frac{dx}{(x-2)(x+1)} + \int_2^4 \frac{dx}{(x-2)(x+1)}\]
Partial fractions: \(\frac{1}{(x-2)(x+1)} = \frac{1/3}{x-2} - \frac{1/3}{x+1}\).
Near \(x = 2\): \(\int_0^2 \frac{1/3}{x-2}dx\) diverges (logarithm at limit). Divergent.
Answer:
- \(I_1 = 2\) (convergent)
- \(I_2 = 1 - \frac{1}{e}\) (convergent)
- \(I_3 = 2\) (convergent)
- \(I_4\): divergent
- \(I_5 = \frac{9}{2}\) (convergent)
- \(I_6\): divergent
4.399. Convergence Tests for Improper Integrals (Exercises, Convergence Tests for Improper Integrals)
Examine for convergence (using the convergence tests):
\[I_1 = \int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{x}{3x^4 + 5x^2 + 1} dx, \quad I_2 = \int_{2}^{\infty} \frac{x^2 - 1}{\sqrt{x^6 + 16}} dx, \quad I_3 = \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-x^2} dx.\]

Key Concept: The comparison test for improper integrals: if \(0 \leq f(x) \leq g(x)\) and \(\int g\) converges, then \(\int f\) converges. If \(\int g\) diverges and \(f \geq g\), then \(\int f\) diverges. The limit comparison test: if \(\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = L \in (0,\infty)\), then both integrals behave the same.
\(I_1\): \(\int_1^\infty \frac{x}{3x^4+5x^2+1}dx\)
- Behavior as \(x \to \infty\): \(\frac{x}{3x^4+5x^2+1} \sim \frac{x}{3x^4} = \frac{1}{3x^3}\)
- Limit comparison with \(g(x) = \frac{1}{x^3}\): \[\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{x/(3x^4+5x^2+1)}{1/x^3} = \lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{x^4}{3x^4+5x^2+1} = \frac{1}{3} \in (0,\infty)\]
- Since \(\int_1^\infty \frac{dx}{x^3}\) converges (\(p=3>1\)), so does \(I_1\).
\(I_1\) is convergent.
\(I_2\): \(\int_2^\infty \frac{x^2-1}{\sqrt{x^6+16}}dx\)
- Behavior as \(x \to \infty\): \(\frac{x^2-1}{\sqrt{x^6+16}} \sim \frac{x^2}{\sqrt{x^6}} = \frac{x^2}{x^3} = \frac{1}{x}\)
- Limit comparison with \(g(x) = \frac{1}{x}\): \[\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{(x^2-1)/\sqrt{x^6+16}}{1/x} = \lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{x(x^2-1)}{\sqrt{x^6+16}} = \lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{x^3-x}{\sqrt{x^6+16}} = 1 \in (0,\infty)\]
- Since \(\int_2^\infty \frac{dx}{x}\) diverges (harmonic series), so does \(I_2\).
\(I_2\) is divergent.
\(I_3\): \(\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2}dx\)
- Split: \(\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2}dx = \int_0^1 e^{-x^2}dx + \int_1^\infty e^{-x^2}dx\)
- First part \(\int_0^1 e^{-x^2}dx\): the integrand is continuous on \([0,1]\), so finite.
- For the second part: For \(x \geq 1\), \(x^2 \geq x\), so \(e^{-x^2} \leq e^{-x}\). \[\int_1^\infty e^{-x} dx = [-e^{-x}]_1^\infty = e^{-1} < \infty\]
- By the comparison test, \(\int_1^\infty e^{-x^2}dx\) converges.
\(I_3\) is convergent. (Its value is \(\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}\), the Gaussian integral.)
Answer:
- \(I_1\): convergent (comparison with \(\frac{1}{x^3}\))
- \(I_2\): divergent (comparison with \(\frac{1}{x}\))
- \(I_3\): convergent (comparison with \(e^{-x}\) for \(x\geq 1\); value \(= \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}\))
4.400. Convergence of Series (Exercises, Convergence of Series)
Study the behavior of the following series:
\[\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{e^{\arctan(n)}}{n^2 + 1}, \quad \sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n\ln^2(n)}, \quad \sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{n}{e^{\sqrt{n}}}.\]

Key Concept: To study series convergence, we apply standard tests: comparison test, integral test, ratio test, root test. The key is identifying the dominant behavior of the general term.
Series 1: \(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{e^{\arctan(n)}}{n^2+1}\)
- Bound the numerator: For all \(n\), \(\arctan(n) < \frac{\pi}{2}\), so \(e^{\arctan(n)} < e^{\pi/2}\).
- Compare: \[0 < \frac{e^{\arctan(n)}}{n^2+1} < \frac{e^{\pi/2}}{n^2+1} < \frac{e^{\pi/2}}{n^2}\]
- Since \(\sum \frac{1}{n^2}\) converges (p-series with \(p=2>1\)), by the comparison test, the series converges.
Series 2: \(\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n\ln^2(n)}\)
- Use the integral test: Let \(f(x) = \frac{1}{x\ln^2 x}\), which is positive and decreasing for \(x \geq 2\).
- Evaluate: \[\int_2^\infty \frac{dx}{x\ln^2 x}\] Let \(u = \ln x\), \(du = \frac{dx}{x}\): \[= \int_{\ln 2}^\infty \frac{du}{u^2} = \left[-\frac{1}{u}\right]_{\ln 2}^\infty = \frac{1}{\ln 2} < \infty\]
- The integral converges, so the series converges.
Series 3: \(\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{n}{e^{\sqrt{n}}}\)
- Use the ratio or root test. Try the root test: \[\limsup_{n\to\infty} \left(\frac{n}{e^{\sqrt{n}}}\right)^{1/n} = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{n^{1/n}}{e^{1/\sqrt{n}}}\]
- As \(n\to\infty\): \(n^{1/n} \to 1\) and \(e^{1/\sqrt{n}} \to e^0 = 1\). Root test gives limit \(= 1\) — inconclusive.
- Use comparison: For large \(n\), \(e^{\sqrt{n}}\) grows much faster than any polynomial. Formally, for any \(\varepsilon > 0\), eventually \(e^{\sqrt{n}} \geq n^{2/\varepsilon}\), so \(\frac{n}{e^{\sqrt{n}}} \leq \frac{n}{n^{2/\varepsilon}} = n^{1-2/\varepsilon}\). Choose \(\varepsilon\) small enough that \(1 - 2/\varepsilon < -1\).
- More concretely, use the integral test: let \(f(x) = \frac{x}{e^{\sqrt{x}}}\). \[\int_2^\infty \frac{x}{e^{\sqrt{x}}} dx\] Let \(t = \sqrt{x}\), \(x = t^2\), \(dx = 2t\,dt\): \[= 2\int_{\sqrt{2}}^\infty t^3 e^{-t} dt\] This converges (since exponential decay dominates polynomial growth), so the series converges.
Answer:
- \(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{e^{\arctan(n)}}{n^2+1}\): convergent (comparison with \(\frac{e^{\pi/2}}{n^2}\))
- \(\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n\ln^2(n)}\): convergent (integral test, \(\int = \frac{1}{\ln 2}\))
- \(\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{n}{e^{\sqrt{n}}}\): convergent (integral test / comparison, exponential dominates)
