2(a)

1. Differentiate $\mathrm{e}^{x^2+2x}$ with respect to $x$ using the chain rule.

ddx(ex2+2x)=(2x+2)ex2+2x\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x} (\mathrm{e}^{x^2+2x}) = (2x+2)\mathrm{e}^{x^2+2x}
=2(x+1)ex2+2x= 2(x+1)\mathrm{e}^{x^2+2x}

2. Relate the given integral to the previously found derivative (reverse differentiation).

Since ddx(ex2+2x)=2(x+1)ex2+2x\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x} (\mathrm{e}^{x^2+2x}) = 2(x+1)\mathrm{e}^{x^2+2x}, we can integrate both sides:
∫2(x+1)ex2+2x  dx=ex2+2x\int 2(x+1)\mathrm{e}^{x^2+2x} \; \mathrm{d}x = \mathrm{e}^{x^2+2x}
∫(x+1)ex2+2x  dx=12ex2+2x\int (x+1)\mathrm{e}^{x^2+2x} \; \mathrm{d}x = \frac{1}{2}\mathrm{e}^{x^2+2x}

3. Evaluate the definite integral by substituting the limits $x = 0$ and $x = 1$.

∫01(x+1)ex2+2x  dx=[12ex2+2x]01\int_{0}^{1} (x+1)\mathrm{e}^{x^2+2x} \; \mathrm{d}x = \left[ \frac{1}{2}\mathrm{e}^{x^2+2x} \right]_0^1
=12(e12+2(1)−e02+2(0))= \frac{1}{2}(\mathrm{e}^{1^2+2(1)} - \mathrm{e}^{0^2+2(0)})
=12(e3−e0)= \frac{1}{2}(\mathrm{e}^3 - \mathrm{e}^0)
=12(e3−1)= \frac{1}{2}(\mathrm{e}^3 - 1)

Answer

12(e3−1)\frac{1}{2}(\mathrm{e}^3 - 1)

2(b)

1. Differentiate the substitution equation to express $\mathrm{d}x$ in terms of $\mathrm{d}t$.

Given the substitution x=sin⁡tx = \sin t, we differentiate with respect to tt:
dxdt=cos⁡t  ⟹  dx=cos⁡t  dt\frac{\mathrm{d}x}{\mathrm{d}t} = \cos t \implies \mathrm{d}x = \cos t \; \mathrm{d}t

2. Substitute $x$ and $\mathrm{d}x$ into the integral and use a trigonometric identity.

Substitute into the integral and apply the Pythagorean identity 1−sin⁡2t=cos⁡2t1 - \sin^2 t = \cos^2 t:
∫1(1−x2)32  dx=∫1(1−sin⁡2t)32(cos⁡t)  dt=∫cos⁡t(cos⁡2t)32  dt\begin{aligned} \int \frac{1}{(1-x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}} \; \mathrm{d}x &= \int \frac{1}{(1-\sin^2 t)^{\frac{3}{2}}} (\cos t) \; \mathrm{d}t \\ &= \int \frac{\cos t}{(\cos^2 t)^{\frac{3}{2}}} \; \mathrm{d}t \end{aligned}

3. Simplify the integrand and perform the integration.

Since 0<t<π20 < t < \frac{\pi}{2}, cos⁡t\cos t is positive, so (cos⁡2t)32=cos⁡3t(\cos^2 t)^{\frac{3}{2}} = \cos^3 t. Simplifying and integrating gives:
∫cos⁡tcos⁡3t  dt=∫1cos⁡2t  dt=∫sec⁡2t  dt=tan⁡t+C\begin{aligned} \int \frac{\cos t}{\cos^3 t} \; \mathrm{d}t &= \int \frac{1}{\cos^2 t} \; \mathrm{d}t \\ &= \int \sec^2 t \; \mathrm{d}t \\ &= \tan t + C \end{aligned}

4. Convert the integrated expression back into terms of $x$.

Since x=sin⁡tx = \sin t and 0<t<π20 < t < \frac{\pi}{2}, we can represent this using a right-angled triangle with angle tt, opposite side xx, and hypotenuse 11.
The adjacent side is 12−x2=1−x2\sqrt{1^2 - x^2} = \sqrt{1 - x^2}.
Therefore, tan⁡t=oppositeadjacent=x1−x2\tan t = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{x}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}}.

The integral evaluates to:
x1−x2+C\frac{x}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}} + C

Answer

x1−x2+C\frac{x}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}} + C
