Thread: Integration help please these are three small even basic integration problems

Integrate x(f(x))6 dx, using the substitution u = f(x).( where f(x) is 9x^2 -4

Integrate x+2/f(x) dx where f(x) is 9x^2 -4

Integrate 1/(4-9x^2)^1/2 dx


Please a step by step process is appreciated as I am horrible in integration and need help, Thank you for your help =)

I don't know what that "6" means

, using the substitution

u = f(x).( where f(x) is 9x^2 -4

You are told= what to do- DO IT! Let u= 9x^2- 4. What is du?

Integrate x+2/f(x) dx where f(x) is 9x^2 -4

Is this or ?

Integrate 1/(4-9x^2)^1/2 dx

Think of " ". Try 3x= 2sin(u).

x(f(x))^6 dx thats what I meant sorry
the second question is actually Integrate (x+2)/f(x) sx where f(x)= 9x^2-4

sorry about the misunderstanding

I actually now understand the 1st and 2nd one but I still dont get the third one

For the third one, use trigonometric substitution.



As HallsofIvy stated, let
Therefore

Make that substitution then use trigonometric identities to simplify the square root.
