1. State the values of constants $A$ and $B$.

By expanding and comparing coefficients of xx:
−4=−2A  ⟹  A=2-4 = -2A \implies A = 2
By comparing constant terms:
11=4A+B  ⟹  11=4(2)+B  ⟹  B=311 = 4A + B \implies 11 = 4(2) + B \implies B = 3
Thus, A=2A = 2 and B=3B = 3.

2. Rewrite the given integral using the constants $A$ and $B$ and split it into two manageable integrals.

Using the identity, substitute 11−4x11 - 4x into the numerator:
∫11−4xx(4−x) dx=∫2(4−2x)+34x−x2 dx\int \frac{11 - 4x}{\sqrt{x(4 - x)}} \, \mathrm{d}x = \int \frac{2(4 - 2x) + 3}{\sqrt{4x - x^2}} \, \mathrm{d}x
=2∫(4−2x)(4x−x2)−12 dx+3∫14x−x2 dx= 2 \int (4 - 2x)(4x - x^2)^{-\frac{1}{2}} \, \mathrm{d}x + 3 \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{4x - x^2}} \, \mathrm{d}x

3. Evaluate the first integral using the reverse chain rule.

The derivative of 4x−x24x - x^2 is 4−2x4 - 2x, so this integral is evaluated using ∫f′(x)[f(x)]n dx\int \mathrm{f}'(x)[\mathrm{f}(x)]^n \, \mathrm{d}x:
2∫(4−2x)(4x−x2)−12 dx=2[(4x−x2)1212]=44x−x22 \int (4 - 2x)(4x - x^2)^{-\frac{1}{2}} \, \mathrm{d}x = 2 \left[ \frac{(4x - x^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}}{\frac{1}{2}} \right] = 4\sqrt{4x - x^2}

4. Complete the square for the expression inside the square root of the second integral.

4x−x2=−(x2−4x)4x - x^2 = -(x^2 - 4x)
=−[(x−2)2−4]= -\left[ (x - 2)^2 - 4 \right]
=4−(x−2)2=22−(x−2)2= 4 - (x - 2)^2 = 2^2 - (x - 2)^2

5. Evaluate the second integral using a standard formula and write the overall answer.

Using the standard result ∫1a2−x2 dx=sin⁡−1(xa)\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}} \, \mathrm{d}x = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{a}\right):
3∫122−(x−2)2 dx=3sin⁡−1(x−22)3 \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{2^2 - (x - 2)^2}} \, \mathrm{d}x = 3\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x - 2}{2}\right)
Combining the results, the final integral is:
44x−x2+3sin⁡−1(x−22)+c4\sqrt{4x - x^2} + 3\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x - 2}{2}\right) + c
where cc is an arbitrary constant.

Answer

A=2A = 2, B=3B = 3

44x−x2+3sin⁡−1(x−22)+c4\sqrt{4x - x^2} + 3\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x - 2}{2}\right) + c

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

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

2. Substitute $x$ and $\mathrm{d}x$ into the integral and simplify using the Pythagorean identity.

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

3. Integrate with respect to $\theta$ using the double-angle identity for cosine.

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

4. Express the result back in terms of $x$.

Using the double-angle identity for sine, sin⁡2θ=2sin⁡θcos⁡θ\sin 2\theta = 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta:
=12θ+14(2sin⁡θcos⁡θ)+C= \frac{1}{2} \theta + \frac{1}{4} (2 \sin \theta \cos \theta) + C
=12θ+12sin⁡θcos⁡θ+C= \frac{1}{2} \theta + \frac{1}{2} \sin \theta \cos \theta + C

Since x=sin⁡θx = \sin \theta, we have θ=sin⁡−1x\theta = \sin^{-1} x and cos⁡θ=1−sin⁡2θ=1−x2\cos \theta = \sqrt{1 - \sin^2 \theta} = \sqrt{1 - x^2}.
=12sin⁡−1x+12x1−x2+C= \frac{1}{2} \sin^{-1} x + \frac{1}{2} x \sqrt{1 - x^2} + C

Answer

12sin⁡−1x+12x1−x2+C\frac{1}{2} \sin^{-1} x + \frac{1}{2} x \sqrt{1 - x^2} + C

1. Apply the integration by parts formula to the definite integral.

Let u=x  ⟹  dudx=1u = x \implies \frac{\mathrm{d}u}{\mathrm{d}x} = 1
Let dvdx=e2x  ⟹  v=12e2x\frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}x} = \mathrm{e}^{2x} \implies v = \frac{1}{2}\mathrm{e}^{2x}

Using ∫udvdx dx=uv−∫vdudx dx\int u \frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}x} \, \mathrm{d}x = uv - \int v \frac{\mathrm{d}u}{\mathrm{d}x} \, \mathrm{d}x:
∫12xe2x dx=[12xe2x]12−∫1212e2x dx\int_{1}^{2} x \mathrm{e}^{2x} \, \mathrm{d}x = \left[ \frac{1}{2} x \mathrm{e}^{2x} \right]_{1}^{2} - \int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{e}^{2x} \, \mathrm{d}x

2. Integrate the remaining exponential term.

=[12xe2x]12−[14e2x]12= \left[ \frac{1}{2} x \mathrm{e}^{2x} \right]_{1}^{2} - \left[ \frac{1}{4} \mathrm{e}^{2x} \right]_{1}^{2}

3. Evaluate the definite integral by substituting the upper and lower limits to find the exact value.

Substituting x=2x = 2 into the expression:
Upper limit evaluation =(12(2)e4−14e4)=e4−14e4=34e4= \left( \frac{1}{2}(2)\mathrm{e}^4 - \frac{1}{4}\mathrm{e}^4 \right) = \mathrm{e}^4 - \frac{1}{4}\mathrm{e}^4 = \frac{3}{4}\mathrm{e}^4

Substituting x=1x = 1 into the expression:
Lower limit evaluation =(12(1)e2−14e2)=14e2= \left( \frac{1}{2}(1)\mathrm{e}^2 - \frac{1}{4}\mathrm{e}^2 \right) = \frac{1}{4}\mathrm{e}^2

Subtracting the lower limit from the upper limit:
∫12xe2x dx=34e4−14e2\int_{1}^{2} x \mathrm{e}^{2x} \, \mathrm{d}x = \frac{3}{4}\mathrm{e}^4 - \frac{1}{4}\mathrm{e}^2

Answer

34e4−14e2\frac{3}{4}\mathrm{e}^4 - \frac{1}{4}\mathrm{e}^2
