10(a)
1. Split the integrand into two separate terms to apply standard integration formulae.
2. Integrate the first term using the standard formula for $\frac{1}{a^2+x^2}$.
3. Integrate the second term by manipulating it into the form $\frac{\mathrm{f}'(x)}{\mathrm{f}(x)}$ to obtain a natural logarithm.
4. Combine the integrated terms and append the constant of integration.
(Note: Absolute value brackets are not required for the natural logarithm as for all real .)
10(b)
1. Find the differential $\text{d}x$ in terms of $\text{d}\theta$.
Given ,
2. Substitute $x$ and $\text{d}x$ into the integral and simplify the denominator.
Since is acute, , so :
3. Use the double angle identity to prepare the integrand for integration.
Using the identity , we get :
4. Integrate with respect to $\theta$.
5. Convert the expression back to be in terms of $x$.
From , we have and .
Using a right-angled triangle, the adjacent side is , giving .
We also need .
Substituting these back into the integrated expression:
10(c)
1. Differentiate $\sin^{-1}(2x^2)$ with respect to $x$ using the chain rule.
2. Set up integration by parts for the given integral, utilising the derivative found in the first part.
Let and .
Then and .
Using the integration by parts formula :
3. Evaluate the remaining integral using substitution to obtain the final answer.
Let , then .
The remaining integral becomes:
Substituting this back into the integration by parts result:
