Integration Techniques and Formulas

This video tutorial explains how to use special integration formulas to solve indefinite integrals involving trigonometric substitution. It provides step-by-step solutions to three example problems, demonstrating the process of identifying the correct formula, substituting variables, and simplifying the integral. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of correctly converting variables and constants to avoid errors in the final solution.

What is the first step in solving an integral using special integration formulas?

• Integrate by parts

• Solve for dx

• Determine the values of a and u

• Directly apply the formula

In the first example, what is the value of 'a' when 25 corresponds to a squared?

• 6

• 5

• 4

• 3

Why is it important to replace dx with du/2 in the integration process?

• To simplify the expression

• To eliminate the variable x

• To make the integral zero

• To ensure the correct application of the formula

In the second example, what is the value of 'a' when 16 corresponds to a squared?

• 5

• 4

• 2

• 3

What is the final answer for the integral of 16 minus 4x squared dx?

• 4 arc sine of x/2 + x sqrt(4 - x^2) + C

• 2 arc sine of x/3 + x sqrt(4 - x^2) + C

• 2 arc sine of x/2 + x sqrt(4 - x^2) + C

• 4 arc sine of x/3 + x sqrt(4 - x^2) + C

In the third example, what formula is used for the integral of the square root of u squared plus a squared?

• One half times u square root u squared plus a squared

• One half times a square root u squared plus a squared

• One half times u square root a squared minus u squared

• One half times a square root a squared minus u squared

What is the value of 'a' when a squared is equal to nine in the third example?

• 4

• 2

• 3

• 5

What is the final answer for the integral of the square root of 16x squared plus nine?
