1. State the values of constants $A$ and $B$.
By expanding and comparing coefficients of :
By comparing constant terms:
Thus, and .
2. Rewrite the given integral using the constants $A$ and $B$ and split it into two manageable integrals.
Using the identity, substitute into the numerator:
3. Evaluate the first integral using the reverse chain rule.
The derivative of is , so this integral is evaluated using :
4. Complete the square for the expression inside the square root of the second integral.
5. Evaluate the second integral using a standard formula and write the overall answer.
Using the standard result :
Combining the results, the final integral is:
where is an arbitrary constant.

6(b)
1. Find the differential $\mathrm{d}x$ in terms of $\theta$.
2. Substitute $x$ and $\mathrm{d}x$ into the integral and simplify using the Pythagorean identity.
3. Integrate with respect to $\theta$ using the double-angle identity for cosine.
4. Express the result back in terms of $x$.
Using the double-angle identity for sine, :
Since , we have and .
6(c)
1. Apply the integration by parts formula to the definite integral.
Let
Let
Using :
2. Integrate the remaining exponential term.
3. Evaluate the definite integral by substituting the upper and lower limits to find the exact value.
Substituting into the expression:
Upper limit evaluation
Substituting into the expression:
