Teacher's Note:
1. Write the ratio as a sum of cosines before integrating.
(a) \( \dfrac14 \)
(b) \( \dfrac12 \)
(c) \( 1 \)
(d) \( \dfrac1{16} \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) \( \dfrac1{16} \)
Explanation:
1. Divide by \( (x^2+1)^2 \): \( \dfrac{dy}{dx}+\dfrac{2x}{x^2+1}y=\dfrac{1}{(x^2+1)^2} \). The integrating factor is \( x^2+1 \).
2. \( y(x^2+1)=\int\frac{dx}{x^2+1}=\tan^{-1}x+C \), and \( y(0)=0 \) gives \( C=0 \). So \( y(1)=\dfrac{\pi/4}{2}=\dfrac{\pi}{8} \).
3. \( \sqrt a\cdot\dfrac\pi8=\dfrac\pi{32} \) gives \( \sqrt a=\dfrac14 \), so \( a=\dfrac1{16} \). Answer: (d)

1. Use the integrating factor method.
(a) \( -\dfrac1{6x^3} \)
(b) \( -\dfrac1{2x^3} \)
(c) \( -\dfrac1{2x^2} \)
(d) \( \dfrac3{x^2} \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) \( -\dfrac1{2x^3} \)
Explanation:
1. Write \( (1+x^6)^{2/3}=x^4(x^{-6}+1)^{2/3} \), so the integral is \( \int\dfrac{dx}{x^7(1+x^{-6})^{2/3}} \). Put \( 1+x^{-6}=t^3 \), so \( -6x^{-7}dx=3t^2dt \).
2. The integral becomes \( -\dfrac12\int dt=-\dfrac t2+C=-\dfrac1{2}(1+x^{-6})^{1/3}+C=-\dfrac{1}{2x^2}(1+x^6)^{1/3}+C \).
3. Comparing with \( x f(x)(1+x^6)^{1/3} \) gives \( f(x)=-\dfrac{1}{2x^3} \). Answer: (b)

(d) \( -\dfrac34\tan^{-4/3}x+C \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) \( -3\tan^{-1/3}x+C \)
Explanation:
1. The integrand is \( \dfrac{1}{\cos^{2/3}x\sin^{4/3}x}=\dfrac{\sec^2x}{\tan^{4/3}x} \) (divide numerator and denominator by \( \cos^{4/3}x \)).
2. With \( t=\tan x \): \( \int t^{-4/3}dt=-3t^{-1/3}+C=-3\tan^{-1/3}x+C \). Answer: (b)

(c) \( \sec x+x\tan x-\dfrac12 \)
(d) \( \sec x-\tan x-\dfrac12 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) \( \sec x+\tan x+\dfrac12 \)
Explanation:
1. Differentiate both sides: \( e^{\sec x}[\sec x\tan x f+\sec x\tan x+\sec^2x]=e^{\sec x}[\sec x\tan x f+f'] \).
2. Hence \( f'(x)=\sec x\tan x+\sec^2x \), so \( f(x)=\sec x+\tan x+C \), and the option with \( C=\tfrac12 \) is (b). Answer: (b)
Teacher's Note:
1. Differentiate both sides.
(a) \( A=\dfrac1{27} \) and \( f(x)=9(x-1) \)

(c) \( A=\dfrac1{54} \) and \( f(x)=3(x-1) \)
(d) \( A=\dfrac1{54} \) and \( f(x)=9(x-1)^2 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) \( A=\dfrac1{54} \) and \( f(x)=3(x-1) \)
Explanation:
1. Put \( x-1=3\tan\theta \): \( I=\dfrac1{27}\int\cos^2\theta\,d\theta=\dfrac1{54}(\theta+\sin\theta\cos\theta)+C \).
2. With \( \sin\theta\cos\theta=\dfrac{3(x-1)}{x^2-2x+10} \) this is \( \dfrac1{54}\left[\tan^{-1}\dfrac{x-1}3+\dfrac{3(x-1)}{x^2-2x+10}\right] \). Answer: (c)
Teacher's Note:
1. Trigonometric substitution on \( (x-1)^2+3^2 \).

(b) \( 1 \)
(c) \( -\dfrac12 \)
(d) \( -\dfrac52 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) \( -\dfrac52 \)
Explanation:
1. Put \( t=x^2 \): \( \frac12\int t^2e^{-t}dt=-\frac12e^{-t}(t^2+2t+2)+C \).
2. So \( g(x)=-\dfrac12(x^4+2x^2+2) \) and \( g(-1)=-\dfrac12(1+2+2)=-\dfrac52 \). Answer: (d)
Teacher's Note:
1. Substitute \( t=x^2 \) and integrate by parts.

Explanation:
1. Divide numerator and denominator by \( x^2 \): \( \dfrac{2x-1/x^2}{x^2+1/x} \).
2. Put \( t=x^2+\frac1x \), so \( dt=(2x-\frac1{x^2})dx \), and the integral is \( \log_e|t|+C=\log_e\left|\dfrac{x^3+1}{x}\right|+C \). Answer: (c)
Teacher's Note:
1. Divide by \( x^2 \) and look for a derivative in the numerator.

(b) \( x-\alpha \) and \( \log_e|\sin(x-\alpha)| \)
(c) \( x-\alpha \) and \( \log_e|\cos(x-\alpha)| \)
(d) \( x+\alpha \) and \( \log_e|\sin(x-\alpha)| \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) \( x-\alpha \) and \( \log_e|\sin(x-\alpha)| \)
Explanation:
1. The integrand is \( \dfrac{\sin(x+\alpha)}{\sin(x-\alpha)} \). Put \( t=x-\alpha \): \( \int\dfrac{\sin(t+2\alpha)}{\sin t}dt=\int(\cos2\alpha+\sin2\alpha\cot t)\,dt \).
2. This is \( t\cos2\alpha+\sin2\alpha\log_e|\sin t|+C \), so \( A=x-\alpha \) and \( B=\log_e|\sin(x-\alpha)| \). Answer: (b)
Teacher's Note:
1. Combine the tangents into a ratio of sines.
(a) \( \dfrac12\log_e|\sec(x^2-1)|+C \)

(d) \( \log_e\left|\sec^2\left(\dfrac{x^2-1}2\right)\right|+C \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) \( \log_e\left|\sec\left(\dfrac{x^2-1}2\right)\right|+C \)
Explanation:
1. Put \( \theta=\dfrac{x^2-1}2 \), so \( x\,dx=d\theta \). The ratio is \( \dfrac{2\sin2\theta-\sin4\theta}{2\sin2\theta+\sin4\theta}=\dfrac{1-\cos2\theta}{1+\cos2\theta}=\tan^2\theta \).
2. So the integral is \( \int|\tan\theta|\,d\theta=\log_e|\sec\theta|+C=\log_e\left|\sec\dfrac{x^2-1}2\right|+C \). Answer: (b)
Teacher's Note:
1. Substitute \( \theta=(x^2-1)/2 \).

(b) \( -\dfrac14 \)
(c) \( \dfrac14 \)
(d) \( \dfrac12 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) \( \dfrac14 \)
Explanation:
1. Divide numerator and denominator by \( x^{14} \): the integrand is \( \dfrac{5x^{-6}+7x^{-8}}{(x^{-5}+x^{-7}+2)^2} \), and the numerator is \( -\frac{d}{dx}(x^{-5}+x^{-7}+2) \).
2. So \( f(x)=\dfrac1{x^{-5}+x^{-7}+2}+C=\dfrac{x^7}{x^2+1+2x^7}+C \); \( f(0)=0 \) gives \( C=0 \) and \( f(1)=\dfrac14 \). Answer: (c)
Teacher's Note:
1. Divide through by \( x^{14} \).
(a) \( \dfrac n{n^2-1}\left(1-\dfrac1{\sin^{n+1}\theta}\right)^{\frac{n+1}n}+C \)

Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) \( \dfrac n{n^2-1}\left(1-\dfrac1{\sin^{n-1}\theta}\right)^{\frac{n+1}n}+C \)
Explanation:
1. Put \( t=\sin\theta \): the integrand becomes \( \dfrac{(1-t^{1-n})^{1/n}}{t^n}\,dt \).
2. Let \( u=1-t^{1-n} \), so \( du=(n-1)t^{-n}dt \). Then \( \dfrac1{n-1}\int u^{1/n}du=\dfrac{n}{n^2-1}u^{\frac{n+1}n}+C \). Answer: (c)
Teacher's Note:
1. Substitute \( t=\sin\theta \), then \( u=1-t^{1-n} \).

(c) \( -2x^3-1 \)
(d) \( -2x^3+1 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) \( -4x^3-1 \)
Explanation:
1. Put \( t=x^3 \): \( \frac13\int te^{-4t}dt=\frac13\left[-\frac{te^{-4t}}4-\frac{e^{-4t}}{16}\right]=-\frac1{48}e^{-4t}(4t+1)+C \).
2. Comparing with \( \frac1{48}e^{-4x^3}f(x) \) gives \( f(x)=-(4x^3+1)=-4x^3-1 \). Answer: (a)

(b) \( \dfrac{-1}{3x^3} \)
(c) \( \dfrac{-1}{27x^9} \)
(d) \( \dfrac1{27x^6} \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) \( \dfrac{-1}{27x^9} \)
Explanation:
1. Write \( \sqrt{1-x^2}=x\sqrt{x^{-2}-1} \) so the integrand is \( x^{-3}\sqrt{x^{-2}-1} \). Put \( x^{-2}-1=t^2 \), so \( x^{-3}dx=-t\,dt \).
2. The integral is \( -\int t^2dt=-\dfrac{t^3}3+C=-\dfrac1{3x^3}\left(\sqrt{1-x^2}\right)^3+C \), so \( A=-\dfrac1{3x^3} \), \( m=3 \) and \( A^m=-\dfrac1{27x^9} \). Answer: (c)
Teacher's Note:
1. Substitute \( t=\sqrt{x^{-2}-1} \).

(c) \( \dfrac23(x-4) \)
(d) \( \dfrac13(x+1) \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) \( \dfrac13(x+4) \)
Explanation:
1. Put \( 2x-1=t^2 \): \( \int\dfrac{(t^2+3)/2}{t}\,t\,dt=\dfrac12\left(\dfrac{t^3}3+3t\right)+C=\dfrac t6(t^2+9)+C \).
2. This equals \( \dfrac{\sqrt{2x-1}}6(2x+8)=\dfrac{x+4}3\sqrt{2x-1} \), so \( f(x)=\dfrac{x+4}3 \). Answer: (b)
Teacher's Note:
1. Substitute \( t=\sqrt{2x-1} \).

Explanation:
1. The bracket is \( \sin^3x(\sin^2x+\cos^2x)+\cos^3x(\sin^2x+\cos^2x)=\sin^3x+\cos^3x \).
2. So the integrand is \( \dfrac{\sin^2x\cos^2x}{\cos^6x(1+\tan^3x)^2}=\dfrac{\tan^2x\sec^2x}{(1+\tan^3x)^2} \). With \( t=\tan^3x \): \( \dfrac13\int\dfrac{dt}{(1+t)^2}=-\dfrac1{3(1+\tan^3x)}+C \). Answer: (b)

Explanation:
1. \( \cos x-\sin x=\sqrt2\cos\left(x+\dfrac\pi4\right) \), so the integral is \( \dfrac1{\sqrt2}\int\sec\left(x+\dfrac\pi4\right)dx \).
2. This equals \( \dfrac1{\sqrt2}\log\left|\tan\left(\dfrac x2+\dfrac\pi8+\dfrac\pi4\right)\right|=\dfrac1{\sqrt2}\log\left|\tan\left(\dfrac x2+\dfrac{3\pi}8\right)\right|+C \). Answer: (d)
Teacher's Note:
1. Write the denominator as a single cosine.
(a) \( \dfrac1n\log\left(\dfrac{x^n}{x^n+1}\right)+C \)
(b) \( \dfrac1n\log\left(\dfrac{x^n+1}{x^n}\right)+C \)
(c) \( \log\left(\dfrac{x^n}{x^n+1}\right)+C \)
(d) None of these
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) \( \dfrac1n\log\left(\dfrac{x^n}{x^n+1}\right)+C \)
Explanation:
1. Multiply numerator and denominator by \( x^{n-1} \) and put \( t=x^n+1 \), \( nx^{n-1}dx=dt \).
2. \( I=\dfrac1n\int\dfrac{dt}{t(t-1)}=\dfrac1n\log\dfrac{t-1}t+C=\dfrac1n\log\dfrac{x^n}{x^n+1}+C \). Answer: (a)
Teacher's Note:
1. Make the numerator the derivative of \( x^n \).
