Problema 8.6.2

Capitolo 8, Problema 8.6.2

Choosing an integration strategy Identify a technique of integration for evaluating the following integrals. If necessary, explain how to first simplify the integrand before applying the suggested technique of integration. You do not need to evaluate the integrals.
∫ (1 + tan x) sec²x dx

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Step 1: Observe the integrand ∫ (1 + tan x) sec²x dx. Notice that it contains a combination of trigonometric functions: tan(x) and sec²(x). Recall that the derivative of tan(x) is sec²(x), which suggests a potential substitution method.

Step 2: Let u = tan(x). Then, the derivative of u with respect to x is du/dx = sec²(x), or equivalently, du = sec²(x) dx. This substitution simplifies the integral by replacing sec²(x) dx with du.

Step 3: Rewrite the integrand in terms of u using the substitution u = tan(x). The integral becomes ∫ (1 + u) du.

Step 4: Simplify the new integral ∫ (1 + u) du into two separate terms: ∫ 1 du + ∫ u du. This makes the integration process straightforward.

Step 5: Identify the integration technique as basic integration of polynomial terms. The integral ∫ 1 du evaluates to u, and ∫ u du evaluates to u²/2. Combine these results after integration to express the solution in terms of u, and then back-substitute u = tan(x) to return to the original variable.

102–106. Laplace transforms A powerful tool in solving problems in engineering and physics is the Laplace transform. Given a function f(t), the Laplace transform is a new function F(s) defined by F(s) = ∫[0 to ∞] e^(-st) f(t) dt, where we assume s is a positive real number. For example, to find the Laplace transform of f(t) = e^(-t), the following improper integral is evaluated using integration by parts:

F(s) = ∫[0 to ∞] e^(-st) e^(-t) dt = ∫[0 to ∞] e^(-(s+1)t) dt = 1/(s+1).
