Hey guys, having a bit of trouble with this integral here... IBP, I think, but not entirely sure about how to go about it...

Integrate x^5secx dx

 

[Bored Of Fail 2]

remember there is always "wolframa alpha" online calculator to help you.

type it in wolframa, and look for the section which says "indefinate integral" and it gives a very complex answer involving functions I havent even met in first year uni maths.http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=(x^5)+sec(x)

They will not ask you to find that in an exam

however I do think " x [sec(x)]^n" has a reduction formula

Yeah, I thought Wolfram was trolling me or something. It's on a sheet that I got from school, so =/ Thanks though, I'll keep it in mind.

"Wolfram was trolling me "

is a calculator intelligent enough to troll people

Should've put something like "We cannot tell as we must know too much about their momentum" xD Heisenburg...

 

[Absolutezero]

We know where they are, but it is impossible to tell the speed they are moving at.

Are there any limits to the integral in the original questions?

ohhh yeh, you thinking it could have limits -a to +a
