1. Express the integrand in partial fractions.

The denominator factorises as x2+2x−3=(x−1)(x+3)x^2+2x-3 = (x-1)(x+3).
Let x+2(x−1)(x+3)=Ax−1+Bx+3\frac{x+2}{(x-1)(x+3)} = \frac{A}{x-1} + \frac{B}{x+3}.
Multiply throughout by (x−1)(x+3)(x-1)(x+3):
x+2=A(x+3)+B(x−1)x+2 = A(x+3) + B(x-1)

2. Find the constants $A$ and $B$.

Substitute x=1x = 1:
1+2=A(1+3)  ⟹  3=4A  ⟹  A=341 + 2 = A(1 + 3) \implies 3 = 4A \implies A = \frac{3}{4}

Substitute x=−3x = -3:
−3+2=B(−3−1)  ⟹  −1=−4B  ⟹  B=14-3 + 2 = B(-3 - 1) \implies -1 = -4B \implies B = \frac{1}{4}

Thus, x+2x2+2x−3=34(x−1)+14(x+3)\frac{x+2}{x^2+2x-3} = \frac{3}{4(x-1)} + \frac{1}{4(x+3)}.

3. Integrate the resulting partial fractions.

∫x+2x2+2x−3 dx=∫(34(x−1)+14(x+3)) dx\int \frac{x+2}{x^2+2x-3} \,\mathrm{d}x = \int \left( \frac{3}{4(x-1)} + \frac{1}{4(x+3)} \right) \,\mathrm{d}x
=34ln⁡∣x−1∣+14ln⁡∣x+3∣+C= \frac{3}{4}\ln|x-1| + \frac{1}{4}\ln|x+3| + C, where CC is an arbitrary constant.

1. Set up integration by parts by identifying $u$ and $\frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}x}$.

Let u=2x  ⟹  dudx=2u = 2x \implies \frac{\mathrm{d}u}{\mathrm{d}x} = 2
Let dvdx=sin⁡x  ⟹  v=−cos⁡x\frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}x} = \sin x \implies v = -\cos x

2. Apply the integration by parts formula and evaluate the resulting integral.

∫2xsin⁡x dx=uv−∫vdudx dx=2x(−cos⁡x)−∫(−cos⁡x)(2) dx=−2xcos⁡x+2∫cos⁡x dx=−2xcos⁡x+2sin⁡x+C\begin{aligned} \int 2x\sin x \,\mathrm{d}x &= uv - \int v \frac{\mathrm{d}u}{\mathrm{d}x} \,\mathrm{d}x \\ &= 2x(-\cos x) - \int (-\cos x)(2) \,\mathrm{d}x \\ &= -2x\cos x + 2\int \cos x \,\mathrm{d}x \\ &= -2x\cos x + 2\sin x + C \end{aligned}

Answer

−2xcos⁡x+2sin⁡x+C-2x\cos x + 2\sin x + C

1. Find the differential $\mathrm{d}x$ in terms of $\theta$.

x=3sin⁡θ  ⟹  dxdθ=3cos⁡θ  ⟹  dx=3cos⁡θ dθx = 3\sin\theta \implies \frac{\mathrm{d}x}{\mathrm{d}\theta} = 3\cos\theta \implies \mathrm{d}x = 3\cos\theta \,\mathrm{d}\theta

2. Find the new limits of integration for $\theta$.

When x=0x = 0:
3sin⁡θ=0  ⟹  sin⁡θ=0  ⟹  θ=03\sin\theta = 0 \implies \sin\theta = 0 \implies \theta = 0

When x=32x = \frac{3}{2}:
3sin⁡θ=32  ⟹  sin⁡θ=12  ⟹  θ=π63\sin\theta = \frac{3}{2} \implies \sin\theta = \frac{1}{2} \implies \theta = \frac{\pi}{6}

3. Substitute $x$, $\mathrm{d}x$ and the limits into the integral and simplify the integrand.

∫0329−x2 dx=∫0π69−(3sin⁡θ)2(3cos⁡θ) dθ\int_0^{\frac{3}{2}} \sqrt{9-x^2} \,\mathrm{d}x = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{6}} \sqrt{9-(3\sin\theta)^2} (3\cos\theta) \,\mathrm{d}\theta
=∫0π69−9sin⁡2θ(3cos⁡θ) dθ= \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{6}} \sqrt{9-9\sin^2\theta} (3\cos\theta) \,\mathrm{d}\theta
=∫0π69(1−sin⁡2θ)(3cos⁡θ) dθ= \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{6}} \sqrt{9(1-\sin^2\theta)} (3\cos\theta) \,\mathrm{d}\theta
=∫0π6(3cos⁡θ)(3cos⁡θ) dθ= \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{6}} (3\cos\theta)(3\cos\theta) \,\mathrm{d}\theta
=∫0π69cos⁡2θ dθ= \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{6}} 9\cos^2\theta \,\mathrm{d}\theta

4. Use the double angle formula to prepare the integrand for evaluation.

=9∫0π6(1+cos⁡2θ2) dθ= 9 \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{6}} \left( \frac{1+\cos 2\theta}{2} \right) \,\mathrm{d}\theta
=92∫0π6(1+cos⁡2θ) dθ= \frac{9}{2} \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{6}} (1+\cos 2\theta) \,\mathrm{d}\theta

5. Integrate and evaluate at the limits to find the exact value.

=92[θ+12sin⁡2θ]0π6= \frac{9}{2} \left[ \theta + \frac{1}{2}\sin 2\theta \right]_0^{\frac{\pi}{6}}
=92[(π6+12sin⁡π3)−(0+0)]= \frac{9}{2} \left[ \left( \frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{1}{2}\sin \frac{\pi}{3} \right) - (0 + 0) \right]
=92(π6+12(32))= \frac{9}{2} \left( \frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) \right)
=92(π6+34)= \frac{9}{2} \left( \frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \right)
=3π4+938= \frac{3\pi}{4} + \frac{9\sqrt{3}}{8}

Answer

3π4+938\frac{3\pi}{4} + \frac{9\sqrt{3}}{8}
