Example Question #671 : Finding Integrals
Integrate
(1)
1) Simplify with a substitution.
It is often necessary to define a new variable
, carefully chosen so that rewriting the integrand in terms of this new variable will make integration easier. In this case, the obvious variable to introduce will be defined by,(2)
(3)
Use equations (2) and (3) to rewrite (1).
2) Use integration by parts
To compute
use integration by parts. Ignore the constant out front for the moment,
(4)
Define
and and insert into the equation (4).
,
(5)
Let's factor the non-constant terms in equation (5), this will make the result easier to express when we convert back to
We previously had a constant in front of the integral,
Now we can write the integral terms of the original variable
by substituting equation (2) into the previous expression to obtain,
Example Question #671 : Finding Integrals
Evaluate the integral:
To evaluate the integral, we perform the following substitution:
The derivative was found using the following rule:
Now, we rewrite the integrand and integrate:
The integral was performed using the following rule:
Finally, replace u with our original x term:
Example Question #1022 : Integrals
The Laplace Transform is an integral transform that converts functions from the time domain
to the complex frequency domain . The transformation of a function into its complex frequency function is given by:
Where
, where and are constants and is the imaginary number.Evaluate the Laplace Transform of the function
at time . Suppose that when .
The Laplace Transform will be given by:
Since
when , we can change the integral to:
This is because when you change the lower bound of the integral, the exponent will only exist for values for which
is defined.Let
This changes our integral to:
We can now move the
term out of the integral, which will give us:
Example Question #1021 : Integrals
Evaluate the following integral using substitution:
To evaluate this integral, we first make the following substitution:
Differentiating this expression, we get:
Now, we can rewrite the original integral with our substitution and solve:
Finally, we have to replace u with our earlier definition:
Example Question #1024 : Integrals
In exponentially decaying systems, often times the solutions to differential equations take on the form of an integral called Duhamel's Integral. This is given by:
Where
is a constant and is a function that represents an external force.Suppose I introduce growth factors that effect my population at a rate of
. At what rate do I need in order for my population to grow? (Hint: Find and determine for what will increase in time.)
Start by substituting
into the integral to get:
We can combine this into one large term:
Since
.
This can only grow when:
Example Question #671 : Finding Integrals
Evaluate the integral with a substitution,
Let
We can now convert this back to a function of
by substituting ,

Calculate the following integral:
Add 2 and subtract 2 from the numerator of the integrand:
.Simplify and apply the difference rule:
Solve the first integral:
.Make the following substitution to solve the second integral:
Apply the substitution to the integral:
Solve the integral:
Combine the answers to the two integrals:
.Solution:
Example Question #672 : Finding Integrals
Evaluate the Integral:
We use substitution to solve the problem:
Let
andTherefore:
Example Question #1021 : Integrals
Evaluate
Here we use substitution to solve for the integrand. Let u=sin(x) therefore du= cos(x)dx. Plug your values back in:
Example Question #92 : Solving Integrals By Substitution
To integrate this expression, you have to use u substitution. First, assign your u expression:
Now, plug everything back in so you can integrate:
Now integrate:
From here substitute the original variable back into the expression.
Evaluate at 2 and then 1.
