4(a)

1. Find the derivative of the denominator.

Let f(x)=sin⁡3x+cot⁡3xf(x) = \sin 3x + \cot 3x.
Then f′(x)=3cos⁡3x−3cosec23x=3(cos⁡3x−cosec23x)f'(x) = 3\cos 3x - 3\text{cosec}^2 3x = 3(\cos 3x - \text{cosec}^2 3x).
Notice that the numerator is 13f′(x)\frac{1}{3}f'(x).

2. Evaluate the integral using the standard logarithmic integrand rule.

∫cos⁡3x−cosec23xsin⁡3x+cot⁡3x dx\int \frac{\cos 3x - \text{cosec}^2 3x}{\sin 3x + \cot 3x} \text{ d}x
=13∫3(cos⁡3x−cosec23x)sin⁡3x+cot⁡3x dx= \frac{1}{3} \int \frac{3(\cos 3x - \text{cosec}^2 3x)}{\sin 3x + \cot 3x} \text{ d}x
=13ln⁡∣sin⁡3x+cot⁡3x∣+C= \frac{1}{3} \ln |\sin 3x + \cot 3x| + C

Answer

13ln⁡∣sin⁡3x+cot⁡3x∣+C\frac{1}{3} \ln |\sin 3x + \cot 3x| + C

4(b)

1. Split the fraction into two separate integrals.

∫1−x1−16x2 dx=∫11−16x2 dx−∫x1−16x2 dx\int \frac{1-x}{\sqrt{1-16x^2}} \text{ d}x = \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-16x^2}} \text{ d}x - \int \frac{x}{\sqrt{1-16x^2}} \text{ d}x

2. Evaluate the first integral using the standard formula for inverse sine.

∫11−16x2 dx=∫11−(4x)2 dx=14sin⁡−1(4x)\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-16x^2}} \text{ d}x = \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(4x)^2}} \text{ d}x = \frac{1}{4} \sin^{-1}(4x)

3. Evaluate the second integral by recognising it as the derivative of the inner function (reverse chain rule).

∫x1−16x2 dx=−132∫−32x(1−16x2)−12 dx=−132[(1−16x2)1212]=−1161−16x2\int \frac{x}{\sqrt{1-16x^2}} \text{ d}x = -\frac{1}{32} \int -32x(1-16x^2)^{-\frac{1}{2}} \text{ d}x \\ = -\frac{1}{32} \left[ \frac{(1-16x^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}}{\frac{1}{2}} \right] \\ = -\frac{1}{16}\sqrt{1-16x^2}

4. Combine the evaluated integrals, ensuring correct signs, and add the constant of integration.

∫1−x1−16x2 dx=14sin⁡−1(4x)−(−1161−16x2)+C=14sin⁡−1(4x)+1161−16x2+C\int \frac{1-x}{\sqrt{1-16x^2}} \text{ d}x = \frac{1}{4} \sin^{-1}(4x) - \left( -\frac{1}{16}\sqrt{1-16x^2} \right) + C \\ = \frac{1}{4} \sin^{-1}(4x) + \frac{1}{16}\sqrt{1-16x^2} + C
Answer

14sin⁡−1(4x)+1161−16x2+C\frac{1}{4} \sin^{-1}(4x) + \frac{1}{16}\sqrt{1-16x^2} + C

1. Set up integration by parts by choosing $u$ and $\text{d}v$.

Let u=ln⁡x  ⟹  dudx=1xu = \ln x \implies \frac{\text{d}u}{\text{d}x} = \frac{1}{x}

Let dvdx=(1−x)−2  ⟹  v=∫(1−x)−2 dx=(1−x)−1−1⋅(−1)=11−x\frac{\text{d}v}{\text{d}x} = (1-x)^{-2} \implies v = \int (1-x)^{-2} \text{ d}x = \frac{(1-x)^{-1}}{-1 \cdot (-1)} = \frac{1}{1-x}

2. Apply the integration by parts formula.

∫udvdx dx=uv−∫vdudx dx\int u \frac{\text{d}v}{\text{d}x} \text{ d}x = uv - \int v \frac{\text{d}u}{\text{d}x} \text{ d}x
∫(1−x)−2ln⁡x dx=ln⁡x1−x−∫1x(1−x) dx\int (1-x)^{-2} \ln x \text{ d}x = \frac{\ln x}{1-x} - \int \frac{1}{x(1-x)} \text{ d}x

3. Use partial fractions to decompose the remaining integrand.

Let 1x(1−x)=Ax+B1−x\frac{1}{x(1-x)} = \frac{A}{x} + \frac{B}{1-x}
1=A(1−x)+Bx1 = A(1-x) + Bx
Substitute x=0  ⟹  A=1x = 0 \implies A = 1
Substitute x=1  ⟹  B=1x = 1 \implies B = 1
1x(1−x)=1x+11−x\frac{1}{x(1-x)} = \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{1-x}

4. Integrate the partial fractions and simplify to obtain the final answer.

∫(1−x)−2ln⁡x dx=ln⁡x1−x−∫(1x+11−x) dx\int (1-x)^{-2} \ln x \text{ d}x = \frac{\ln x}{1-x} - \int \left( \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{1-x} \right) \text{ d}x
=ln⁡x1−x−(ln⁡x−ln⁡∣1−x∣)+C= \frac{\ln x}{1-x} - (\ln x - \ln |1-x|) + C
=ln⁡x1−x−(1−x)ln⁡x1−x+ln⁡∣1−x∣+C= \frac{\ln x}{1-x} - \frac{(1-x)\ln x}{1-x} + \ln |1-x| + C
=xln⁡x1−x+ln⁡∣1−x∣+C= \frac{x \ln x}{1-x} + \ln |1-x| + C

Answer

xln⁡x1−x+ln⁡∣1−x∣+C\frac{x \ln x}{1-x} + \ln |1-x| + C
