If I use u = 1 + root(x)...

x = (u-1)^2
dx = 2u-2

Then putting into the original thing, integrate (2u-2)/u...

can someone take it from here and finish it off? I get very close to the answer but don't get it, I think because I'm doing incorrect algebra after that last step ^.

$\noindent So the integral becomes $I = \int \frac{1}{u}\times 2\left(u-1\right)\text{ d}u$. Write $\frac{u-1}{u}$ as $1-\frac{1}{u}$, so then $I = 2\int \left(1-\frac{1}{u}\right)\text{ d}u=2u - 2\ln |u| +C$. Since $u=1+\sqrt{x}$, this becomes $2+2\sqrt{x}-2\ln \left(1+\sqrt{x}\right)+C$. Since $2+C$ is just an arbitrary constant again, we can write the final answer as $I=2\sqrt{x}-2\ln \left(1+\sqrt{x}\right)+C$.$

Re: MATH1131 help thread

Okay soz I'm still very confused,

For this one...

integrate (1-x)/(1+x)^3 dx

So I make u = 1+x, du = dx, x = u-1

so it becomes

(2-u) / u^3 du

and now what do I do? If I'm on the right track that is.

$\noindent Split up the fraction, so it becomes $\frac{2}{u^3}-\frac{1}{u^2}$, which is easy to integrate now.$

http://www.integral-calculator.com/ is pretty useful if you don't know how to solve a particular integral. You can check answers and get a walkthrough of the working out.

Does anyone know the mark format of the final exam, 1131?

There's 3 questions it seems from past papers, are they all of equal value? (why don't they show what each question is worth?)

Re: MATH1131 help thread

1024*e^(-5pi/3) + 1024*e^(5pi/3)

How do you turn that into cos, I get you can go, = 1024 (e^(5pi/3) + e^(-5pi/3)). Now what.

I recall there's a definition for it somewhere but cannot find it, and if it exists do we have to memorise it (well I guess obviously if it's in this q).

$\noindent Recall that $e^{i\theta}+e^{-i\theta}=2\cos \theta$ (which follows from Euler's formula as posted above).$

(And I think you forgot to type the i's in the exponents.)

Just go like point+t(vector of line)

So remember <2,5> + t<1,2> so what this means is that the line L contains the point <2,5> and is parallel to <1,2>

Are you sure it's three and not four

$x^2-5x\sin{y}+y^2=4\\ \Rightarrow 2x- \underbrace{ \left(5\sin{y}+5x\cos{y}\frac{dy}{dx}\right) }_{\text{product rule}} +2y \frac{dy}{dx} =0\\ \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2x-5\sin{y}}{5x\cos{y}-2y}$

Knowing the definition of a line in that format, wouldn't it be <2,5> + <1,2>*t ?

Haha damn, can you tell I was only up to 2011 past papers when I asked that (they had only 3 questions).

But yeah I do mean that, q still stands.

And thanks for the working out.

Vector form of a line:

r = <any point on the line> + t<direction>

I have no idea why the question got deleted but to expand on this.

$If a line is given in parametric vector form $\textbf{x}=\textbf{a} + \lambda \textbf{u} \quad \lambda \in \mathbb R \\ $then $\textbf{a}$ is called a position vector, and $\textbf{u}$ is called a direction vector.$

$A position vector is just a point which a line passes through. The DIRECTION vector is more significant here, as it shows what way the line points.$

$$So in general, any line parallel to the above line will have equation $\textbf{x} = \textbf{c} + \lambda \textbf{u}$ for a new position vector $\textbf{c}$

Here, we have a=[1;1], t=[1;2], c=[2;5]

Lol idk we don't do the same course. But I thought you guys also had 4 questions. (2 alg 2 calc)
