Prelude
The easy integral was really hard for me since I didn’t know the standard form (not taught in school), and couldn’t integrate secθ either
Beginner Integral
I=∫23x(x−2)4 dxLet u=x−2, dx=duI=∫01u4(u+2) du=∫01u5+2u4 du=[61u6+52u5]01=61+52=3017
Easy Integral
∫12x4−1x2+1−x2−1 dx=∫12x4−1x2+1−x4−1x2−1 dx=∫12x2−11−x2+11 dxLet I1=∫12x2−11 dxLet x=secθ, dx=secθ tanθ dθI1=∫03πsec2θ−1secθ tanθ dθ=∫03πtanθsecθ tanθ dθ=∫03πsecθ dθ=[ln∣secθ+tanθ∣]03π=ln(2+3) Let I2=∫12x2+11 dxLet x=tanθ, dx=sec2θ dθI2=∫4πarctan2tan2θ+1sec2θ dθ=∫4πarctan2secθsec2θ dθ=∫4πarctan2secθ dθ=[ln∣secθ+tanθ∣]4πarctan2=ln(5+2)−ln(2+1) I1−I2=ln(2+3)−ln(5+2)+ln(2+1)
