009B Sample Final 1, Problem 4

Compute the following integrals.

(a)  $\int {\frac {t^{2}}{\sqrt {1-t^{6}}}}~dt$

(b)  $\int {\frac {2x^{2}+1}{2x^{2}+x}}~dx$

(c)  $\int \sin ^{3}x~dx$

Foundations:
1. Through partial fraction decomposition, we can write the fraction
${\frac {1}{(x+1)(x+2)}}={\frac {A}{x+1}}+{\frac {B}{x+2}}$
for some constants $A,B.$
2. We have the Pythagorean identity
$\sin ^{2}(x)=1-\cos ^{2}(x).$

Solution:

(a)

Step 1:
We first distribute to get
$\int e^{x}(x+\sin(e^{x}))~dx\,=\,\int e^{x}x~dx+\int e^{x}\sin(e^{x})~dx.$
Now, for the first integral on the right hand side of the last equation, we use integration by parts.
Let $u=x$ and Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle dv=e^{x}dx} . Then, Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle du=dx} and Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle v=e^{x}} .
So, we have
${\begin{array}{rcl}\displaystyle {\int e^{x}(x+\sin(e^{x}))~dx}&=&\displaystyle {{\bigg (}xe^{x}-\int e^{x}~dx{\bigg )}+\int e^{x}\sin(e^{x})~dx}\\&&\\&=&\displaystyle {xe^{x}-e^{x}+\int e^{x}\sin(e^{x})~dx}.\\\end{array}}$

Step 2:
Now, for the one remaining integral, we use $u$-substitution.
Let Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle u=e^{x}} . Then, Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle du=e^{x}dx} .
So, we have
${\begin{array}{rcl}\displaystyle {\int e^{x}(x+\sin(e^{x}))~dx}&=&\displaystyle {xe^{x}-e^{x}+\int \sin(u)~du}\\&&\\&=&\displaystyle {xe^{x}-e^{x}-\cos(u)+C}\\&&\\&=&\displaystyle {xe^{x}-e^{x}-\cos(e^{x})+C}.\\\end{array}}$

(b)

Step 1:
First, we add and subtract  $x$  from the numerator.
So, we have
${\begin{array}{rcl}\displaystyle {\int {\frac {2x^{2}+1}{2x^{2}+x}}~dx}&=&\displaystyle {\int {\frac {2x^{2}+x-x+1}{2x^{2}+x}}~dx}\\&&\\&=&\displaystyle {\int {\frac {2x^{2}+x}{2x^{2}+x}}~dx+\int {\frac {1-x}{2x^{2}+x}}~dx}\\&&\\&=&\displaystyle {\int ~dx+\int {\frac {1-x}{2x^{2}+x}}~dx}.\\\end{array}}$

Step 2:
Now, we need to use partial fraction decomposition for the second integral.
Since  $2x^{2}+x=x(2x+1),$  we let
${\frac {1-x}{2x^{2}+x}}={\frac {A}{x}}+{\frac {B}{2x+1}}.$
Multiplying both sides of the last equation by  $x(2x+1),$
we get
$1-x=A(2x+1)+Bx.$
If we let  $x=0,$ the last equation becomes  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle 1=A.}
If we let  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x=-\frac{1}{2},}   then we get  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{3}{2}=-\frac{1}{2}\,B.}   Thus,  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle B=-3.}
So, in summation, we have
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{1-x}{2x^2+x}=\frac{1}{x}+\frac{-3}{2x+1}.}

Step 3:
If we plug in the last equation from Step 2 into our final integral in Step 1, we have
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{\int \frac{2x^2+1}{2x^2+x}~dx} & = & \displaystyle{\int ~dx+\int\frac{1}{x}~dx+\int\frac{-3}{2x+1}~dx}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{x+\ln x+ \int\frac{-3}{2x+1}~dx.}\\ \end{array}}

Step 4:
For the final remaining integral, we use  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle u} -substitution.
Let  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle u=2x+1.}   Then,  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle du=2\,dx}   and  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{du}{2}=dx.}
Thus, our final integral becomes
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{\int \frac{2x^2+1}{2x^2+x}~dx} & = & \displaystyle{x+\ln x+ \int\frac{-3}{2x+1}~dx}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{x+\ln x+\int\frac{-3}{2u}~du}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{x+\ln x-\frac{3}{2}\ln u +C.}\\ \end{array}}
Therefore, the final answer is
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \int \frac{2x^2+1}{2x^2+x}~dx\,=\,x+\ln x-\frac{3}{2}\ln (2x+1) +C.}

(c)

Step 1:
First, we write
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \int\sin^3x~dx=\int \sin^2 x \sin x~dx.}
Using the identity  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \sin^2x+\cos^2x=1,}   we get
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \sin^2x=1-\cos^2x.}
If we use this identity, we have
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \int\sin^3x~dx=\int (1-\cos^2x)\sin x~dx.}

Step 2:
Now, we proceed by  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle u} -substitution.
Let  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle u=\cos x.}   Then,  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle du=-\sin x dx.}
So we have
