Integration - Trigonometric Functions, 9

Category: Integral Calculus, Trigonometry

"Published in Newark, California, USA"

Evaluate


Solution:

Consider the given equation above


The given equation above has both trigonometric functions at the numerator and the denominator. The denominator contains logarithmic function of a trigonometric function. We need to assign u by considering the complicated part in the equation.

If 



then it follows that




 
Since the numerator has the same du, then the above equation can be integrated by simple integration as follows

Integration - Algebraic Substitution, 4

Category: Integral Calculus, Algebra

"Published in Newark, California, USA"

Evaluate:


Solution:

Consider the above equation


The above equation cannot be integrated by simple integration because one of the variables has a radical sign. We need to eliminate the radical sign by substituting with another variable as follows

Let




So that the above equation becomes







but 


Therefore,

Integration - Partial Fractions

Category: Integral Calculus, Algebra

"Published in Newark, California, USA"

Evaluate


Solution:

Consider the given equation above 


if


then


Since the numerator is only dx, then we cannot integrate the above equation by simple integration. However, we can factor the denominator as follows


The above equation can be expressed into partial fractions as follows 


Consider


Multiply both sides of the equation by their Least Common Denominator (LCD), we have
 
 
 
  Equate x2:



Equate x:


Equate x0:



Substitute the values of A, B, and C to the original equation, we have





You can also simplify further the above equation as follows
