Exam questions on Integration by recognition and trigonometric identities

  1. The function hh is defined by h(x)=xx2+5h(x)=\frac{x}{x^2+5} for x≥0x\geq0.
    Find ∫x(x2+5)2 dx\int\frac{x}{(x^2+5)^2}\,dx.2 marks
  2. The function ff is defined by f(x)=tan⁡xf(x)=\tan x for 0≤x<π20\leq x<\frac{\pi}{2}.
    Find ∫[f(x)]2 dx\int[f(x)]^2\,dx.2 marks
  3. The curves C1C_1 and C2C_2 have equations y=cos⁡23xy=\cos^23x and y=sin⁡23xy=\sin^23x respectively, for 0≤x≤π120\leq x\leq\frac{\pi}{12}.
    Show that cos⁡23x=12(1+cos⁡6x)\cos^23x=\frac12(1+\cos6x), and hence find ∫cos⁡23x dx\int\cos^23x\,dx.3 marks
