Solution Problem 3:
This problem comes from Tutorial #1 from the Spring 2012 semester. Before continuing, we must re-express
the above expression into the following:
_

x dx =
_
(sec

x dx =

Now, we calculate each term in the integral using integration by parts. We start with sec

x:
_
sec

x dx =

By letting u = sec x and dv = sec

x, we thus have du = sec xtanx dx, v = tanx, and thus:

x dx = uv

Solution Problem 5: We need to factorize the denominator of this rational function. It will then become
obvious that this requires partial fraction decomposition to evaluate the integral easily:
4x
x

+x + 1

(x + 1) +x + 1
=
4x
(x + 1)(x
2
+ 1)
=
A
x + 1
+
Bx +C
x
2
+ 1
As such:
4x
(x + 1)(x
2
+ 1)
=
A
x + 1
+
Bx +C
x
2
+ 1
=
A(x
2
+ 1) + (Bx +C)(x + 1)
(x + 1)(x
2
+ 1)
0x
2
+ 4x + 0
(x + 1)(x
2
+ 1)
=
(A+B)x
2
+ (B +C)x +A+C
(x + 1)(x
2
+ 1)
Matching coecients, we thus have the following system of equations:
A+B = 0 (1)
B +C = 4 (2)
A+C = 0 (3)
Using (1), B = A, and with (2) and (3), we get:
A+C = 4
A+C = 0
So, 2C = 4, and so C = 2, A = 2, B = 2. Finally:

Solution Problem 6: The above function within the integral has a discontinuity at x = 1 [0, 9]. As such,
we will need to split up the integral into a sum of two components:

We will solve for each term individually, and sum up the results in the end. By letting u = x 1, du = dx.
Also, when x = 0, u = 1, when x = 1, u = 0, and when x = 9, u = 8.
