Worked solution

2(a)

1. Find the expression for $dx$ in terms of $t$ and $dt$.

Let t=ext = e^x.
Given this substitution, differentiate with respect to xx:
dtdx=ex\frac{dt}{dx} = e^x
dx=1ex dt=1t dtdx = \frac{1}{e^x}\,dt = \frac{1}{t}\,dt

2. Substitute $t$ and $dx$ into the integral and simplify.

Expressing e2xe^{2x} as (ex)2=t2(e^x)^2 = t^2, substitute all parts into the integral:
∫e2xtan⁡−1(ex) dx\int e^{2x}\tan^{-1}(e^x)\,dx
=∫t2tan⁡−1(t)(1t) dt= \int t^2 \tan^{-1}(t) \left(\frac{1}{t}\right)\,dt
=∫ttan⁡−1(t) dt(Shown)= \int t\tan^{-1}(t)\,dt \quad \text{(Shown)}

Answer

\text{Shown}

2(b)

1. Determine the new limits of integration for the substitution $t = e^x$.

When x=0x = 0, t=e0=1t = e^0 = 1.
When x=1x = 1, t=e1=et = e^1 = e.
Therefore,
∫01e2xtan⁡−1(ex) dx=∫1ettan⁡−1(t) dt\int_{0}^{1} e^{2x}\tan^{-1}(e^{x})\,dx = \int_{1}^{e} t\tan^{-1}(t)\,dt

2. Apply integration by parts.

We use integration by parts for ∫ttan⁡−1(t) dt\int t\tan^{-1}(t)\,dt.
Let u=tan⁡−1(t)u = \tan^{-1}(t) and dvdt=t\frac{dv}{dt} = t.
Then dudt=11+t2\frac{du}{dt} = \frac{1}{1+t^2} and v=12t2v = \frac{1}{2}t^2.
∫1ettan⁡−1(t) dt=[12t2tan⁡−1(t)]1e−∫1et22(1+t2) dt\int_{1}^{e} t\tan^{-1}(t)\,dt = \left[ \frac{1}{2}t^2\tan^{-1}(t) \right]_{1}^{e} - \int_{1}^{e} \frac{t^2}{2(1+t^2)}\,dt

3. Simplify and integrate the rational function.

To integrate t21+t2\frac{t^2}{1+t^2}, we rewrite the numerator:
∫t21+t2 dt=∫(t2+1)−11+t2 dt=∫(1−11+t2) dt\int \frac{t^2}{1+t^2}\,dt = \int \frac{(t^2+1)-1}{1+t^2}\,dt = \int \left( 1 - \frac{1}{1+t^2} \right)\,dt
=t−tan⁡−1(t)= t - \tan^{-1}(t)
Substituting this back into our definite integral:
∫1ettan⁡−1(t) dt=[12t2tan⁡−1(t)−12(t−tan⁡−1(t))]1e\int_{1}^{e} t\tan^{-1}(t)\,dt = \left[ \frac{1}{2}t^2\tan^{-1}(t) - \frac{1}{2}\big(t - \tan^{-1}(t)\big) \right]_{1}^{e}
=[12(t2+1)tan⁡−1(t)−12t]1e= \left[ \frac{1}{2}(t^2+1)\tan^{-1}(t) - \frac{1}{2}t \right]_{1}^{e}

4. Substitute the limits and evaluate to find the exact value.

Substitute the limits t=et = e and t=1t = 1:
(12(e2+1)tan⁡−1(e)−12e)−(12(12+1)tan⁡−1(1)−12(1))\left( \frac{1}{2}(e^2+1)\tan^{-1}(e) - \frac{1}{2}e \right) - \left( \frac{1}{2}(1^2+1)\tan^{-1}(1) - \frac{1}{2}(1) \right)
Since tan⁡−1(1)=π4\tan^{-1}(1) = \frac{\pi}{4}:
=12(e2+1)tan⁡−1(e)−12e−(π4−12)= \frac{1}{2}(e^2+1)\tan^{-1}(e) - \frac{1}{2}e - \left( \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{1}{2} \right)
=12(e2+1)tan⁡−1(e)−12e−π4+12= \frac{1}{2}(e^2+1)\tan^{-1}(e) - \frac{1}{2}e - \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{1}{2}

Answer

12(e2+1)tan⁡−1(e)−12e−π4+12\frac{1}{2}(e^2+1)\tan^{-1}(e) - \frac{1}{2}e - \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{1}{2}
