Solve the integralx3x2-1dx three ways:

(a) with the substitution u=x2-1, followed by back substitution;

(b) with integration by parts, choosing localid="1648814744993" u=x2 and dv=xx2-1dx;

(c) with the trigonometric substitution x = sec u.

Part (a) The solution of the integral is 115x2-1323x2+2+C.

Part (b) The solution of the integral is 115x2-1323x2+2+C.

Part (c) The solution of the integral is 115x2-1323x2+2+C.

Step by Step Solution

Part (a) Step 1. Given Information.

The given integral is x3x2-1dx.

Part (a) Step 2. Solve. 

We have to solve the integral with the substitution u=x2-1, so the derivative is du=2x dx.

Let's solve the integral by substituting u,

localid="1648816067865" x3x2-1dx=12u+1udu=12u32+udu=12u32du+12udu=1225u52+1223u32+C=15u52+13u32+CSubstitute back u,=15x2-152+13x2-132+C=115x2-1323x2+2+C

Part (b) Step 1. Solve.

We have to solve the integral with integration by parts, choosing u=x2 and dv=xx2-1dx.

Thus, the derivation of u is du=2xdx, and to find v integrate dv.

So,

role="math" localid="1648817215834" dv=xx2-1dxv=13x2-132dx

Part (b) Step 2. Solve.

Let's do the integration by parts,

x2xx2-1dx=x213x2-132-13x2-1322x dx=x23x2-132-23x2-132x dx=x23x2-132-2315x2-152+C=115x2-1325x2-2x2-1+c=115x2-1323x2+2+C

Part (c) Step 1. Solve.

We have to solve the integral with the substitution x=sec u, so the derivative is dx=secu tanu du.

Let's solve the integral by substituting x,

role="math" localid="1648817837174" x3x2-1dx=sec3usec2u-1secu tanudu=sec4utan2utanudu=sec4u tan2u du=sec2u sec2u tan2u du=(1+tan2u) sec2u tan2u duLet t=tanu, dt=sec2u du=(1+t2) t2 dt=t2+t4 dt=t2dt+t4dt=t33+t55+C

Part (c) Step 2. Solve.

By proceeding with the calculation further,

Substitute back t,=tanu33+tanu55+C=sec2u-133+sec2u-155+C=sec2u-1323+sec2u-1525+CSubstitute back u,=x2-1323+x2-1525+C=115x2-1323x2+2+C
