1 Answer
(1)
(2)
(3)
Explanation:
We use the power rule:
# int \ x^n \ dx = x^(n+1)/(n+1) \ \ \ (+c) \ \ \ AA x in RR, x!= -1#
And the standard result:
# int \ 1/x \ dx = lnx \ \ \ \ (+c)#
So that:
Part (1):
# I_1 = int \ a/x^2+b/x \ dx #
# \ \ \ = int \ ax^(-2)+b/x \ dx #
# \ \ \ = ax^(-1)/(-1) + bln|x| + c #
# \ \ \ = -a/x + bln|x| + c #
Part (2):
# I_2 = int \ 3x^(-7)+x^(-1) \ dx #
# \ \ \ = 3x^(-6)/(-6) + ln|x| + c #
# \ \ \ = -1/(2x^6) + ln|x| + c #
Part (3):
# I_3 = int \ (sqrt(x) +1/sqrt(x))^2 \ dx #
# \ \ \ = int \ (sqrt(x))^2 + 2 sqrt(x)1/sqrt(x) + (1/sqrt(x))^2 \ dx #
# \ \ \ = int \ x + 2 + 1/x \ dx #
# \ \ \ = x^2/2+2x + ln|x| + c #
