009B Sample Final 1, Problem 4

Compute the following integrals.

a) $\int e^{x}(x+\sin(e^{x}))~dx$

b) $\int {\frac {2x^{2}+1}{2x^{2}+x}}~dx$

c) $\int \sin ^{3}x~dx$

Foundations:
Recall:
1. Integration by parts tells us that $\int u~dv=uv-\int v~du.$
2. Through partial fraction decomposition, we can write the fraction  ${\frac {1}{(x+1)(x+2)}}={\frac {A}{x+1}}+{\frac {B}{x+2}}$
for some constants $A,B.$
3. We have the Pythagorean identity $\sin ^{2}(x)=1-\cos ^{2}(x).$

Solution:

(a)

Step 1:
We first distribute to get
$\int e^{x}(x+\sin(e^{x}))~dx\,=\,\int e^{x}x~dx+\int e^{x}\sin(e^{x})~dx.$
Now, for the first integral on the right hand side of the last equation, we use integration by parts.
Let $u=x$ and $dv=e^{x}dx.$ Then, $du=dx$ and $v=e^{x}.$
So, we have
${\begin{array}{rcl}\displaystyle {\int e^{x}(x+\sin(e^{x}))~dx}&=&\displaystyle {{\bigg (}xe^{x}-\int e^{x}~dx{\bigg )}+\int e^{x}\sin(e^{x})~dx}\\&&\\&=&\displaystyle {xe^{x}-e^{x}+\int e^{x}\sin(e^{x})~dx}.\\\end{array}}$

Step 2:
Now, for the one remaining integral, we use $u$-substitution.
Let Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle u=e^{x}.} Then, Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle du=e^{x}dx.}
So, we have
${\begin{array}{rcl}\displaystyle {\int e^{x}(x+\sin(e^{x}))~dx}&=&\displaystyle {xe^{x}-e^{x}+\int \sin(u)~du}\\&&\\&=&\displaystyle {xe^{x}-e^{x}-\cos(u)+C}\\&&\\&=&\displaystyle {xe^{x}-e^{x}-\cos(e^{x})+C}.\\\end{array}}$

(b)

Step 1:
First, we add and subtract $x$ from the numerator.
So, we have
${\begin{array}{rcl}\displaystyle {\int {\frac {2x^{2}+1}{2x^{2}+x}}~dx}&=&\displaystyle {\int {\frac {2x^{2}+x-x+1}{2x^{2}+x}}~dx}\\&&\\&=&\displaystyle {\int {\frac {2x^{2}+x}{2x^{2}+x}}~dx+\int {\frac {1-x}{2x^{2}+x}}~dx}\\&&\\&=&\displaystyle {\int ~dx+\int {\frac {1-x}{2x^{2}+x}}~dx}.\\\end{array}}$

Step 2:
Now, we need to use partial fraction decomposition for the second integral.
Since $2x^{2}+x=x(2x+1),$ we let
${\frac {1-x}{2x^{2}+x}}={\frac {A}{x}}+{\frac {B}{2x+1}}.$
Multiplying both sides of the last equation by $x(2x+1),$ we get
$1-x=A(2x+1)+Bx.$
If we let $x=0$, the last equation becomes
$1=A.$
If we let $x=-{\frac {1}{2}},$ then we get  ${\frac {3}{2}}=-{\frac {1}{2}}\,B.$ Thus,
$B=-3.$
So, in summation, we have
${\frac {1-x}{2x^{2}+x}}={\frac {1}{x}}+{\frac {-3}{2x+1}}.$

Step 3:
If we plug in the last equation from Step 2 into our final integral in Step 1, we have
