For (c) use substitution, let $u=\ln(x)$ , so $du=\frac{1}{x} dx$

so the integral becomes $\int ^1 _0 u^{\frac{1}{n}} du$

$\int ^1_0 u^{\frac{1}{n}} du= \frac{u^{\frac{1}{n}+1}}{\frac{1}{n}+1} |^1 _0 =\frac{1}{\frac{1}{n}+1}$

great thx, i got that one but i just made it n/n+1 in the end :)

For 3(a) expand $(t^2+3t)^2$

$(t^2+3t)^2=t^4+6t^3+9t^2$

So,

$\frac{(t^2+3t)^2}{t^3}=\frac{t^4+6t^3+9t^2}{t^3}
= t + 6 + \frac{9}{t}$

that way the integral is easier

$\int \left( \frac{(t^2+3t)^2}{t^3} \right) dt= \int \left( t + 6 + \frac{9}{t} \right) dt$

Got this one as well; thx :)

I just need to know whether im right on the next 3.

For 10 i got c
For 5 i got c
For 3 i got b

are those correct?
