cations of integration by parts are needed?

(a) 4 (b) 2 (c) 1 (d) 3

Solution: Choice (b). We need 2 applications of integration by parts to evaluate

e4x cos(3x) dx. Recall that in this type of problem, after doing integration by parts
a second time, we get back to the original integral and can solve for the integral we are
trying to find.

4. (3 points) A trigonometric substitution will be used to evaluate √ dx.
− 6x + 13x2
Which one of the following trigonometric substitutions would be helpful to use?

(a) x = 3 sec θ (c) x = 3 tan θ

(b) x − 3 = 2 sec θ (d) x − 3 = 2 tan θ

Solution: Choice (d). By completing the square we have: x2 − 6x + 13 = (x − 3)2 + 4.

So we want to use the trig substitution x − 3 = 2 tan θ.

(a) 2 (b) 1 (c) 3 (d) 4

Z
Solution: Choice (c). We would do integration by parts on x3 sin(4x) dx starting
with u = x3 , dv = sin(4x) dx. With each application of integration by parts, the power
of x in the new integral term would reduce by 1. So we will need 3 applications of
integration by parts to get to an integral of a trig function alone (and not times a power
of x) that we can integrate.

7. (3 points) On which of the following integrals would it be helpful to use the Pythagorean
identity sin2 x + cos2 x = 1? Select all that apply.
Z Z
2 2
(a) cos x sin x dx (c) cos3 x dx

Z Z
2
(b) cos x dx (d) cos2 x sin5 x dx

Solution: Choices (c) and (d). In these integrals at least one power of sine or cosine
is odd, so it will be helpful to use the Pythagorean identity as shown below. For (a)
and (b), we have even powers of sine and cosine only, so (a) and (b) would need the
half-angle identity.
Z Z

Z
= cos2 x(1 − cos2 x)2 sin x dx, then use u = cos x, du = − sin x dx

8. (1 point) Which integration technique is most appropriate to use to evaluate x sec x tan x dx?

(a) u-substitution (b) integration by parts

Solution: Choice (b). Integration by parts would be helpful with u = x,

dv = sec x tan x dx. Then du = dx, v = sec x. So
Z Z
x sec x tan x dx = x sec x − sec x dx = x sec x − ln | sec x + tan x| + C

10. (3 points) On which of the following rational functions would long division be needed before
finding a partial fraction decomposition? Select ALL that would need long division
as a first step before finding a partial fraction decomposition.

x2 + 5x + 2 x4 + 2x + 1
(a) (c)
x2 (x2 + 8) x3 (x2 + 1)

x2 + 4 x5
(b) (d)
(x + 5)(x + 1) (x2 + 1)(x − 1)

Solution: Choices (b) and (d). If a rational function is improper, with the degree of
the numerator greater than or equal to the degree of the denominator, we need to do
long division first. We can only find a partial fraction decomposition of a proper rational
function. (b) is improper because the numerator and denominator are both degree 2.
(d) is improper because the numerator is degree 5 and the denominator is only degree
3.

11. Z
(1 point) Which integration technique is most appropriate to use to evaluate
x cos(x2 + 1) dx?

(a) u-substitution (b) integration by parts

Solution: Choice (a). u-substitution is useful here. We let u = x2 +1. Then du = 2x dx.
So Z Z

x cos(x + 1) dx = cos u du

integral, what is the appropriate choice for u and dv?

(b) u = ln x, dv = x−5 dx (d) u = ln x, dv = x5 dx
