Worked solution
2(a)
1. Differentiate $\mathrm{e}^{x^2+2x}$ with respect to $x$ using the chain rule.
2. Relate the given integral to the previously found derivative (reverse differentiation).
Since , we can integrate both sides:
3. Evaluate the definite integral by substituting the limits $x = 0$ and $x = 1$.
2(b)
1. Differentiate the substitution equation to express $\mathrm{d}x$ in terms of $\mathrm{d}t$.
Given the substitution , we differentiate with respect to :
2. Substitute $x$ and $\mathrm{d}x$ into the integral and use a trigonometric identity.
Substitute into the integral and apply the Pythagorean identity :
3. Simplify the integrand and perform the integration.
Since , is positive, so . Simplifying and integrating gives:
4. Convert the integrated expression back into terms of $x$.
Since and , we can represent this using a right-angled triangle with angle , opposite side , and hypotenuse .
The adjacent side is .
Therefore, .
The integral evaluates to:
