7–40. Table look-up integrals Use a table of integrals to evaluate the following indefinite integrals. Some of the integrals require preliminary work, such as completing the square or changing variables, before they can be found in a table.
11. ∫ 3u / (2u + 7) du

Step 1: Begin by analyzing the integral ∫ (3u / (2u + 7)) du. Notice that the denominator is linear (2u + 7). This suggests that a substitution might simplify the integral.
Step 2: Perform a substitution. Let v = 2u + 7, which implies dv/du = 2 or du = dv/2. Rewrite the integral in terms of v.
Step 3: Substitute into the integral. The numerator 3u can be expressed in terms of v using the substitution u = (v - 7)/2. Replace u and du in the integral.
Step 4: Simplify the integral after substitution. You should now have an expression involving v that can be matched to a standard form in a table of integrals.
Step 5: Use the table of integrals to find the antiderivative of the simplified expression. After finding the antiderivative, substitute back v = 2u + 7 to return to the original variable u.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Indefinite Integrals

Indefinite integrals represent a family of functions whose derivative is the integrand. They are expressed without limits and include a constant of integration, typically denoted as 'C'. Understanding how to evaluate indefinite integrals is crucial for solving problems in calculus, as they provide the antiderivative of a function.

Completing the Square

Completing the square is a method used to rewrite quadratic expressions in a specific form, which can simplify integration. This technique involves rearranging a quadratic expression into a perfect square trinomial plus a constant, making it easier to integrate functions that involve quadratics, especially when using tables of integrals.
