Answer»

Correct ANSWER is (b) \(\FRAC{1}{2} TAN^{-1}⁡\frac{x}{2}+C\)

The EXPLANATION: \(\int \frac{dx}{x^2+4}=\int \frac{dx}{x^2+2^2}\)

Using the formula \(\int \frac{dx}{a^2+x^2}=\frac{1}{a} tan^{-1}⁡\frac{x}{a}+C\)

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

Answer» CORRECT option is (a) \(E^{-cot^{-1}⁡x}+C\)

The explanation: Let \(-cot^{-1}⁡x\)=t

Differentiating w.r.t x, we GET

–\(\left (-\frac{1}{1+x^2}\right )dx=dt\)

\(\frac{1}{1+x^2} dx=dt\)

\(\INT \frac{e^{-cot^{-1}}x}{1+x^2} dx=\int e^t \,dt\)

=e^t

Replacing t with -cot^-1x, we get

\(\int \frac{e^{-cot^{-1}}x}{1+x^2} dx=e^{-cot^{-1}}x+C\)

Answer» RIGHT choice is (B) e^x^2 (x^2-1)+C

The EXPLANATION: Let x^2=t

Differentiating w.r.t x, we get

2x DX=dt

∴∫ 2x^2 e^x^2 dx=∫ te^t dt

By using the formula, ∫ U.v dx=u∫ v dx-∫ u’ (∫ v dx) ,we get

∫ t e^t dt=t∫ e^t dt-∫ (t)’∫ e^t dt

=te^t-∫ e^t dt

=te^t-e^t=e^t (t-1)

Replacing t with x^2, we get

∫ 2x^3 e^x^2 dx=e^x^2 (x^2-1)+C

Answer»

The correct OPTION is (d) \(\frac{7X^3}{3}-\frac{x^4}{4}+x^2+C\)

EXPLANATION: To find \(\int 7x^2-x^3+2x DX\)

\(\int 7x^2-x^3+2x dx=\int 7x^2 dx-\int x^3 dx+2\int x dx\)

Using \(\int x^n dx=\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}\), we get

\(\int 7x^2-x^3+2x dx=\frac{7x^{2+1}}{2+1}-\frac{x^{3+1}}{3+1}+2(\frac{x^{1+1}}{1+1})\)

∴\(\int 7x^2-x^3+2x dx=\frac{7x^3}{3}-\frac{x^4}{4}+x^2+C\)

Evaluate the integral \(\int_1^{\sqrt{3}} \frac{3}{1+x^2}\).(a) \(\frac{π}{2}\)(b) \(\frac{π}{4}\)(c) \(\frac{π}{3}\)(d) \(\frac{π}{6}\)This question was addressed to me during an internship interview.The origin of the question is Fundamental Theorem of Calculus-2 in portion Integrals of Mathematics – Class 12

Answer»

Correct choice is (b) \(\frac{π}{4}\)

The best I can EXPLAIN: Let \(I=\int_1^{√3} \frac{3}{1+x^2}\)

F(x)=\(\INT \frac{3}{1+x^2}dx\)

=3\(\int \frac{1}{1+x^2} \,dx\)

=3 tan^-1⁡x

Applying the LIMITS, we get

I=F(\(\SQRT{3}\))-F(1)

=3 tan^-1⁡\(\sqrt{3}\)-3 tan^-1⁡1

\(3(\frac{π}{3})-\frac{3π}{4}=\frac{4π-3π}{4}=\frac{π}{4}\).

Find \(\int_3^45x^3 \,dx\).(a) –\(\frac{185}{4}\)(b) –\(\frac{185}{3}\)(c) \(\frac{185}{2}\)(d) \(\frac{185}{4}\)The question was asked by my college professor while I was bunking the class.My question is taken from Fundamental Theorem of Calculus-2 in division Integrals of Mathematics – Class 12

Answer»

Right ANSWER is (d) \(\frac{185}{4}\)

The explanation is: Let \(I=\int_3^45x^3 \,dx\)

F(X)=∫ 5x^3 dx

=\(\frac{5x^4}{4}\)

Applying the limits by using the fundamental THEOREM of calculus, we get

I=F(4)-F(3)

=\(\frac{5(4)^3}{4}-\frac{5(3)^3}{4}=\frac{5}{4}(4^3-3^3)\)

=\(\frac{5}{4} (64-27)=\frac{5}{4} (37)=\frac{185}{4}\)

Find \(\int_0^π(1-sin⁡3x)dx\).(a) \(\frac{3π-2}{4}\)(b) 3π-1(c) \(\frac{3π-2}{3}\)(d) π-\(\frac{1}{3}\)This question was addressed to me in quiz.My query is from Fundamental Theorem of Calculus-2 in division Integrals of Mathematics – Class 12

Answer»

Right option is (c) \(\frac{3π-2}{3}\)

The explanation is: LET \(I=\int_0^π(1-sin⁡3x)DX\)

F(x)=∫ 1-sin⁡3x dx

=x+\(\frac{cos⁡3x}{3}\)

APPLYING the limits by USING the fundamental THEOREM of calculus, we get

I=F(π)-F(0)

=\(π+\frac{cos⁡3π}{3}-0-\frac{cos⁡0}{3}\)

=\(π-\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{3}=π-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{3π-2}{3}\).

In \(\int_a^b\)f(y) dy, what is ‘a’ called as?(a) Integration(b) Upper limit(c) Lower limit(d) Limit of an integralThis question was posed to me during an internship interview.I want to ask this question from Definite Integral in chapter Integrals of Mathematics – Class 12

Answer»

The correct option is (b) Upper limit

For explanation I would say: In \(\int_a^b\)F(y) dy ‘a’ is the CALLED as lower limit and ‘b’ is called the upper limit of the integral. The FUCTION f in \(\int_a^b\)f(y) dy is called the integrand. The letter ‘y’ is a dummy symbol and can be REPLACED by any other symbol.

Find the integral of \(\frac{e^{-x} (1-x)}{sin^2⁡(xe^{-x})}\).(a) cot⁡xe^-x+C(b) -cot⁡xe^-x+C(c) -cot⁡xe^x+C(d) -cos^2⁡xe^-x+CI have been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.My query is from Methods of Integration-2 topic in section Integrals of Mathematics – Class 12

Answer»

Right choice is (b) -cot⁡xe^-x+C

To explain: \(\INT \frac{E^{-x} (1-x)}{sin^2⁡(xe^{-x})} dx\)

LET xe^-x=t

Differentiating w.r.t x, we get

\(-xe^{-x}+e^{-x} dx=DT\)

e^-x (1-x)dx=dt

\(\int \frac{e^{-x} (1-x)}{sin^2⁡(xe^{-x})} dx=\int \frac{dt}{sin^2⁡t}\)

=\(\int cosec^2 \,t \,dt\)

=-cot⁡t+C

Replacing t with xe^-x, we get

\(\int \frac{e^{-x} (1-x)}{sin^2⁡(xe^{-x})} dx=-cot⁡xe^{-x}+C\).

\(\int \,3 \,cos⁡x+\frac{1}{x^2} dx=3 \int cos⁡x \,dx+\int \frac{1}{x^2} \,dx\)

\(\int \,3 \,cos⁡x+\frac{1}{x^2} dx=3 \,sin⁡x+\int x^{-2} \,dx\)

\(\int \,3 \,cos⁡x+\frac{1}{x^2} dx=3 \,sin⁡x+\frac{x^{-2+1}}{-2+1}\)

\(\int \,3 \,cos⁡x+\frac{1}{x^2} dx=3 \,sin⁡x-\frac{1}{x}+C\)

Right choice is (a) \(\FRAC{a^2 \,x^5}{5}+B^2 \,x+\frac{2abx^3}{3}+C\)

EXPLANATION: To find (ax^2+b)^2

\(\int (ax^2+b)^2 dx=\int (a^2 \,x^4+b^2+2ax^2 \,b) dx\)

\(\int (ax^2+b)^2 dx=\int \,a^2 \,x^4 \,dx+\int \,b^2 \,dx+2\int \,ax^2 \,b \,dx\)

\(\int (ax^2+b)^2 dx=a^2 \,\int \,x^4 \,dx+b^2 \int \,dx+2ab\int \,x^2 \,dx\)

\(\int (ax^2+b)^2 dx=a^2 (\frac{x^5}{5})+b^2 x+2ab(\frac{x^3}{3})\)

\(\int (ax^2+b)^2 dx=\frac{a^2 \,x^5}{5}+b^2 x+\frac{2abx^3}{3}+C\)

Answer»

Right ANSWER is (d) 5-\(\frac{5}{\sqrt{2}}\)

Easy explanation: I=\(\int_0^1 \frac{5 \,sin⁡(TAN^{-1)}x}{1+x^2} \,dx\)

LET tan^-1⁡x=t

Differentiating w.r.t x, we get

\(\frac{1}{1+x^2} \,dx=dt\)

The new limits

When x=0, t=tan^-1⁡0=0

When x=1, t=tan^-1)1=π/4

∴\(\int_0^1 \frac{5 \,sin⁡(tan^{-1}⁡x)}{1+x^2} \,dx=\int_0^{π/4} \,5 \,sin⁡t \,dt\)

=\(5[-cos⁡t]_0^{π/4}=-5[cos⁡t]_0^{π/4}\)

\(=-5(cos⁡ \frac{π}{4}-cos⁡0)=-5(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}-1})=5-\frac{5}{\sqrt{2}}\)
