Worked solution

10(a)

1. Express the product of trigonometric functions as a sum using the factor formula.

sin⁡3xcos⁡x=12[sin⁡(3x+x)+sin⁡(3x−x)]\sin 3x \cos x = \frac{1}{2} [\sin(3x + x) + \sin(3x - x)]\n=12(sin⁡4x+sin⁡2x)= \frac{1}{2} (\sin 4x + \sin 2x)

2. Integrate the resulting expression term by term.

∫sin⁡3xcos⁡x dx=12∫(sin⁡4x+sin⁡2x) dx\int \sin 3x \cos x \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \int (\sin 4x + \sin 2x) \, dx\n=12(−14cos⁡4x−12cos⁡2x)+C= \frac{1}{2} \left( -\frac{1}{4}\cos 4x - \frac{1}{2}\cos 2x \right) + C\n=−18cos⁡4x−14cos⁡2x+C= -\frac{1}{8}\cos 4x - \frac{1}{4}\cos 2x + C

Answer

−18cos⁡4x−14cos⁡2x+C-\frac{1}{8}\cos 4x - \frac{1}{4}\cos 2x + C

1. Express the numerator in terms of the derivative of the denominator to split the integral.

∫xx2+4x+13 dx=∫12(2x+4)−2x2+4x+13 dx\int \frac{x}{x^2 + 4x + 13}\, dx = \int \frac{\frac{1}{2}(2x + 4) - 2}{x^2 + 4x + 13}\, dx
=12∫2x+4x2+4x+13 dx−∫2x2+4x+13 dx= \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{2x + 4}{x^2 + 4x + 13}\, dx - \int \frac{2}{x^2 + 4x + 13}\, dx

2. Integrate the first term to obtain a logarithmic function.

12∫2x+4x2+4x+13 dx=12ln⁡∣x2+4x+13∣\frac{1}{2} \int \frac{2x + 4}{x^2 + 4x + 13}\, dx = \frac{1}{2} \ln|x^2 + 4x + 13|
Since x2+4x+13=(x+2)2+9>0x^2 + 4x + 13 = (x+2)^2 + 9 > 0 for all real xx, the absolute value can be omitted:
=12ln⁡(x2+4x+13)= \frac{1}{2} \ln(x^2 + 4x + 13)

3. Complete the square for the denominator of the second term in preparation for inverse tangent integration.

x2+4x+13=(x+2)2+9x^2 + 4x + 13 = (x + 2)^2 + 9
∫2x2+4x+13 dx=2∫1(x+2)2+32 dx\int \frac{2}{x^2 + 4x + 13}\, dx = 2 \int \frac{1}{(x + 2)^2 + 3^2}\, dx

4. Integrate the second term using the standard formula and state the final answer with the integration constant.

2∫1(x+2)2+32 dx=2[13tan⁡−1(x+23)]=23tan⁡−1(x+23)2 \int \frac{1}{(x + 2)^2 + 3^2}\, dx = 2 \left[ \frac{1}{3} \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{x+2}{3}\right) \right] = \frac{2}{3} \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{x+2}{3}\right)
Combining both parts:
∫xx2+4x+13 dx=12ln⁡(x2+4x+13)−23tan⁡−1(x+23)+C\int \frac{x}{x^2 + 4x + 13}\, dx = \frac{1}{2}\ln(x^2 + 4x + 13) - \frac{2}{3}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{x+2}{3}\right) + C

Answer

12ln⁡(x2+4x+13)−23tan⁡−1(x+23)+C\frac{1}{2}\ln(x^2 + 4x + 13) - \frac{2}{3}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{x+2}{3}\right) + C

1. Differentiate the substitution to express $dx$ in terms of $d\theta$.

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

2. Substitute $x$ and $dx$ into the integral and simplify the integrand.

∫9−x2 dx=∫9−(3sin⁡θ)2(3cos⁡θ) dθ\int \sqrt{9 - x^2}\, dx = \int \sqrt{9 - (3\sin \theta)^2} (3\cos \theta)\, d\theta
=∫9(1−sin⁡2θ)(3cos⁡θ) dθ= \int \sqrt{9(1 - \sin^2 \theta)} (3\cos \theta)\, d\theta
=∫(3cos⁡θ)(3cos⁡θ) dθ= \int (3\cos \theta) (3\cos \theta)\, d\theta
=9∫cos⁡2θ dθ= 9 \int \cos^2 \theta\, d\theta

3. Apply the double-angle identity for $\cos^2 \theta$ to perform the integration.

=9∫12(1+cos⁡2θ) dθ= 9 \int \frac{1}{2}(1 + \cos 2\theta)\, d\theta
=92(θ+12sin⁡2θ)= \frac{9}{2} \left( \theta + \frac{1}{2}\sin 2\theta \right)
=92(θ+sin⁡θcos⁡θ)= \frac{9}{2} (\theta + \sin \theta \cos \theta)

4. Express $\sin \theta$, $\cos \theta$, and $\theta$ in terms of $x$ to substitute back, adding the constant of integration.

From x=3sin⁡θx = 3\sin \theta, we have sin⁡θ=x3\sin \theta = \frac{x}{3} and θ=sin⁡−1(x3)\theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{3}\right).
Using cos⁡2θ=1−sin⁡2θ\cos^2 \theta = 1 - \sin^2 \theta, we find cos⁡θ=1−(x3)2=9−x23\cos \theta = \sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{x}{3}\right)^2} = \frac{\sqrt{9 - x^2}}{3}.

Substituting these into the integrated expression:
=92(sin⁡−1(x3)+(x3)(9−x23))+C= \frac{9}{2} \left( \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{3}\right) + \left(\frac{x}{3}\right)\left(\frac{\sqrt{9 - x^2}}{3}\right) \right) + C
=92sin⁡−1(x3)+12x9−x2+C= \frac{9}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{3}\right) + \frac{1}{2}x\sqrt{9 - x^2} + C

Answer

12x9−x2+92sin⁡−1(x3)+C\frac{1}{2}x\sqrt{9 - x^2} + \frac{9}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{3}\right) + C
