πŸ“˜ Integrating Using U-Substitution - Problem 56

In this video, we work through unit six homework problems 56 through 64, focusing on integration using u-substitution. For problem 56, we integrate X cubed times (X to the fourth plus 3) cubed. By letting u equal X to the power 4 plus 3, we find that du/dx equals 4x cubed. Multiplying both sides by dx, we get du equals 4x cubed dx. Dividing both sides by 4, we have 1/4 du equals x cubed dx. Replacing x cubed dx with 1/4 du, the integral becomes 1/4 u cubed du. Using the power rule, we integrate to get 1/16 u to the power 4 plus C. Replacing u with X to the fourth plus 3, the final answer is 1/16 (X to the fourth plus 3) to the power 4 plus C.

πŸ“— Integrating Using U-Substitution - Problem 57

For problem 57, we integrate x times the cube root of 1 plus 2x squared. We let u equal 1 plus 2x squared, so du/dx equals 4x. Multiplying both sides by dx, we get du equals 4x dx. Since the problem has x dx, we divide both sides by 4 to get 1/4 du equals x dx. Replacing x dx with 1/4 du, we rewrite the integral as 1/4 integral of u to the power 1/3 du. Integrating using the power rule, we get 1/4 (3/4 u to the power 4/3) plus C. Replacing u with 1 plus 2x squared, the final answer is 3/16 (1 plus 2x squared) to the power 4/3 plus C.

πŸ“™ Integrating Using U-Substitution - Problem 58

For problem 58, we integrate x cubed times sine of X to the fourth. Letting u equal X to the fourth, we find that du/dx equals 4x cubed. Multiplying by dx, we get du equals 4x cubed dx. Dividing by 4, we have 1/4 du equals x cubed dx. Substituting, the integral becomes 1/4 integral of sine u du. The integral of sine is negative cosine, so we get negative 1/4 cosine u plus C. Replacing u with X to the fourth, the final answer is negative 1/4 cosine (X to the fourth) plus C.

15:13
πŸ“• Integrating Using U-Substitution - Problem 59

For problem 59, we integrate X cubed over (1 plus X to the fourth) squared. We let u equal 1 plus X to the fourth, so du/dx equals 4x cubed. Multiplying by dx, we get du equals 4x cubed dx. Dividing by 4, we have 1/4 du equals x cubed dx. Replacing, the integral becomes 1/4 integral of 1/u squared du. Recognizing 1/u squared as u to the power -2, we integrate to get negative 1/4 (1/u) plus C. Replacing u with 1 plus X to the fourth, the final answer is negative 1/4 (1/(1 plus X to the fourth)) plus C.

πŸ“’ Integrating Using U-Substitution - Problem 60

For problem 60, we integrate 5x times the square root of 1 minus x squared. Letting u equal 1 minus x squared, we find that du/dx equals -2x. Multiplying by dx, we get du equals -2x dx. Dividing by -2, we have -1/2 du equals x dx. Multiplying by 5, we get -5/2 du equals 5x dx. Replacing, the integral becomes -5/2 integral of u to the power 1/2 du. Using the power rule, we get -5/2 (2/3 u to the power 3/2) plus C. Simplifying, we get -5/3 u to the power 3/2 plus C. Replacing u with 1 minus x squared, the final answer is -5/3 (1 minus x squared) to the power 3/2 plus C.

πŸ““ Integrating Using U-Substitution - Problem 61

For problem 61, we integrate u squared times the square root of u cubed plus 2. Since the integral starts with u as the variable, we use a different letter for substitution. Letting x equal u cubed plus 2, we find that dx/du equals 3u squared. Multiplying by du, we get dx equals 3u squared du. Dividing by 3, we have 1/3 dx equals u squared du. Replacing, the integral becomes 1/3 integral of x to the power 1/2 dx. Integrating using the power rule, we get 1/3 (2/3 x to the power 3/2) plus C. Simplifying, we get 2/9 x to the power 3/2 plus C. Replacing x with u cubed plus 2, the final answer is 2/9 (u cubed plus 2) to the power 3/2 plus C.

πŸ“” Integrating Using U-Substitution - Problem 62

For problem 62, we integrate x times the square root of 2x minus 1. Letting u equal 2x minus 1, we find that du/dx equals 2. Multiplying by dx, we get du equals 2 dx. Dividing by 2, we have 1/2 du equals dx. Substituting for dx, we get x times the square root of u times 1/2 du. To eliminate x, we solve u equals 2x minus 1 for x, yielding x equals (u plus 1)/2. Rewriting the integral, we get 1/2 integral of (u plus 1)/2 times the square root of u du. Simplifying and integrating using the power rule, we get 1/4 integral of u to the power 3/2 plus u to the power 1/2 du. Integrating, we get 1/4 (2/5 u to the power 5/2 plus 2/3 u to the power 3/2) plus C. Simplifying, the final answer is 1/10 (2x minus 1) to the power 5/2 plus 1/6 (2x minus 1) to the power 3/2 plus C.

πŸ“œ Integrating Using U-Substitution - Problem 63

For problem 63, we integrate x plus 1 times the square root of 2 minus x. Letting u equal 2 minus x, we find that du/dx equals -1. Multiplying by dx, we get du equals -dx. Rewriting, we have the integral of (2 - u + 1) times the square root of u du. Simplifying and integrating using the power rule, we get the integral of (3 - u) times the square root of u du. Distributing and integrating, we get 3u to the power 3/2 times 2/3 minus u to the power 5/2 times 2/5 plus C. Simplifying, the final answer is 2 (2 - x) to the power 3/2 minus 2/5 (2 - x) to the power 5/2 plus C.

πŸ“– Integrating Using U-Substitution - Problem 64

For problem 64, we integrate x over the square root of 2x minus 1 from 1 to 5. Using u equals 2x minus 1, we convert the limits of integration. With u equal to 1 when x is 1 and u equal to 9 when x is 5, we transform the integral to 1/4 integral of u to the power 1/2 plus 1/u to the power 1/2 du. Integrating, we get 1/4 (2/3 u to the power 3/2 plus 2u to the power 1/2) evaluated from 1 to 9. Substituting and simplifying, we find the final answer is 16/3.
