Math Problem Statement

Solve the given integrals step by step.

Solution

Let’s solve these integrals step by step.


1. 11xdx\int \frac{1}{1-x} \, dx

This is a standard integral of the form:

11xdx=ln1x+C\int \frac{1}{1-x} \, dx = -\ln|1-x| + C

Solution: ln1x+C-\ln|1-x| + C


2. 52x+7dx\int \frac{5}{2x+7} \, dx

Substitute u=2x+7u = 2x+7, then du=2dxdu = 2 \, dx, or dx=du2dx = \frac{du}{2}.

Rewriting: 52x+7dx=5u12du=521udu=52lnu+C\int \frac{5}{2x+7} \, dx = \int \frac{5}{u} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \, du = \frac{5}{2} \int \frac{1}{u} \, du = \frac{5}{2} \ln|u| + C

Back-substitute u=2x+7u = 2x+7: 52ln2x+7+C\frac{5}{2} \ln|2x+7| + C


3. 122xx2+4dx\int_{-1}^2 \frac{2x}{x^2+4} \, dx

Substitute u=x2+4u = x^2+4, then du=2xdxdu = 2x \, dx.

Rewriting: 2xx2+4dx=1udu=lnu+C\int \frac{2x}{x^2+4} \, dx = \int \frac{1}{u} \, du = \ln|u| + C

Back-substitute u=x2+4u = x^2+4: ln(x2+4)12\ln(x^2+4) \bigg|_{-1}^2

Evaluate the limits: ln(22+4)ln((1)2+4)=ln(8)ln(5)=ln(85)\ln(2^2 + 4) - \ln((-1)^2 + 4) = \ln(8) - \ln(5) = \ln\left(\frac{8}{5}\right)

Solution: ln(85)\ln\left(\frac{8}{5}\right)


4. 0ln2e3xdx\int_0^{\ln 2} e^{-3x} \, dx

Integrating e3xe^{-3x}: e3xdx=e3x3+C=13e3x+C\int e^{-3x} \, dx = \frac{e^{-3x}}{-3} + C = -\frac{1}{3} e^{-3x} + C

Evaluate the definite integral: 13e3x0ln2=13(e3ln2e0)-\frac{1}{3} e^{-3x} \bigg|_0^{\ln 2} = -\frac{1}{3} \left(e^{-3 \ln 2} - e^{0}\right)

Simplify: e3ln2=(eln2)3=23=18e^{-3 \ln 2} = (e^{\ln 2})^{-3} = 2^{-3} = \frac{1}{8} 13(181)=13(78)=724-\frac{1}{3} \left(\frac{1}{8} - 1\right) = -\frac{1}{3} \left(-\frac{7}{8}\right) = \frac{7}{24}

Solution: 724\frac{7}{24}


5. e1/xx2dx\int \frac{e^{1/x}}{x^2} \, dx

Substitute u=1xu = \frac{1}{x}, then du=1x2dxdu = -\frac{1}{x^2} dx.

Rewriting: e1/xx2dx=eudu=eu+C\int \frac{e^{1/x}}{x^2} \, dx = -\int e^u \, du = -e^u + C

Back-substitute u=1xu = \frac{1}{x}: e1/x+C-e^{1/x} + C


6. (ex+1)3exdx\int (e^x+1)^3 \cdot e^x \, dx

Substitute u=ex+1u = e^x+1, then du=exdxdu = e^x \, dx.

Rewriting: (ex+1)3exdx=u3du=u44+C\int (e^x+1)^3 \cdot e^x \, dx = \int u^3 \, du = \frac{u^4}{4} + C

Back-substitute u=ex+1u = e^x+1: (ex+1)44+C\frac{(e^x+1)^4}{4} + C


Do you want detailed steps for any of these? Here are 5 related questions:

  1. How do you handle definite integrals with logarithmic limits?
  2. Can substitution always simplify complex integrals?
  3. What are common integration tricks for exponential functions?
  4. How do you determine the bounds after substitution?
  5. Can improper integrals converge if they involve lnx\ln|x|?

Tip: Always check substitution bounds carefully when solving definite integrals to avoid missing changes in limits.
