I see the integrals provided in the uploaded image. Let’s solve each one step-by-step:

(a) $\int_{e}^{e^4} \frac{dx}{x\sqrt{\ln x}}$

We will use substitution:

• Let $u = \ln x$, so $du = \frac{1}{x} dx$.
• When $x = e$, $u = 1$, and when $x = e^4$, $u = 4$.

The integral becomes: $\int_{1}^{4} \frac{1}{\sqrt{u}} du = \int_{1}^{4} u^{-\frac{1}{2}} du$ Integrate: $\int u^{-\frac{1}{2}} du = 2u^{\frac{1}{2}} + C = 2\sqrt{u}$

Evaluate from 1 to 4: $2\sqrt{4} - 2\sqrt{1} = 4 - 2 = 2$

Answer: $2$

(b) $\int 7xe^{3x} dx$

Use integration by parts:

• Let $u = 7x$, so $du = 7 dx$,
• Let $dv = e^{3x} dx$, so $v = \frac{1}{3}e^{3x}$.

Integration by parts formula: $\int u dv = uv - \int v du$: $\int 7xe^{3x} dx = \frac{7x}{3}e^{3x} - \int \frac{7}{3}e^{3x} dx$ $= \frac{7x}{3}e^{3x} - \frac{7}{9}e^{3x} + C$

Answer: $\frac{7x}{3}e^{3x} - \frac{7}{9}e^{3x} + C$

(c) $\int \cos^2 x \, dx$

Use the half-angle identity: $\cos^2 x = \frac{1 + \cos 2x}{2}$: $\int \cos^2 x \, dx = \int \frac{1 + \cos 2x}{2} dx = \frac{1}{2} \int 1 \, dx + \frac{1}{2} \int \cos 2x \, dx$ $= \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{1}{4}\sin 2x + C$

Answer: $\frac{x}{2} + \frac{\sin 2x}{4} + C$

(d) $\int \frac{x^2 + 8}{x^3 + x^2} dx$

Simplify the fraction: $\frac{x^2 + 8}{x^3 + x^2} = \frac{x^2}{x^3 + x^2} + \frac{8}{x^3 + x^2}$ Factor $x^2$ from the denominator: $= \frac{x^2}{x^2(x + 1)} + \frac{8}{x^2(x + 1)} = \frac{1}{x+1} + \frac{8}{x^2(x+1)}$ Split into two integrals: $\int \frac{1}{x+1} dx + \int \frac{8}{x^2(x+1)} dx$ The first term: $\int \frac{1}{x+1} dx = \ln |x+1|$ The second term requires partial fraction decomposition: $\frac{8}{x^2(x+1)} = \frac{A}{x} + \frac{B}{x^2} + \frac{C}{x+1}$ Solve for $A, B, C$, and integrate each term.

Answer: $\ln |x+1| + \text{(result from partial fractions)} + C$
