10-136.

Examine the integrals below. Consider the multiple tools available for integrating and use the best strategy for each part. Evaluate each integral and briefly describe your method. Homework Help ✎

1. $\int \operatorname { sec } ^ { 4 } ( x ) \operatorname { tan } ^ { 3 } ( x ) d x$

Rewrite the integrand in terms of sine and cosine and use the Pythagorean Identity.

$=\int\frac{(1-\cos^2(x))\sin(x)}{\cos^7(x)}dx$

Let $u = cos(x)$.

1. $\int x \operatorname { tan } ^ { - 1 } ( x ) d x$

Use integration by parts: Let f = tan–1(x) and dg = x dx

$df=\frac{1}{1+x^2}\text{, }g=\frac{1}{2}x^2$

$\int x\tan^{-1}(x)dx=\frac{1}{2}x^2\tan^{-1}(x)-\frac{1}{2}\int \frac{x^2}{1+x^2}dx$

Use polynomial division: $=\frac{1}{2}x^2\tan^{-1}(x)-\frac{1}{2}\int \Big(1-\frac{1}{1+x^2}\Big)dx$

1. $\int \frac { \operatorname { ln } ( x ) } { x } d x$

Use substitution: Let $u = \ln(x)$

1. $\int \frac { \operatorname { cos } \sqrt { x } } { \sqrt { x } } d x$

Use substitution:

$\text{Let }u=\sqrt{x}$
