Exam questions on Integration by substitution

  1. Let I=∫x(x2+3)4 dxI=\int x\left(x^2+3\right)^4\,\mathrm{d}x.
    Hence find the exact value of ∫01x(x2+3)4 dx\int_0^1x\left(x^2+3\right)^4\,\mathrm{d}x.2 marks
  2. Let N=∫0ln⁡2ex1+ex dxN=\int_0^{\ln2}\frac{e^{x}}{1+e^{x}}\,\mathrm{d}x, to be found using the substitution u=1+exu=1+e^x.
    Hence find the exact value of NN.2 marks
  3. In this question, use integration by substitution with the substitution given in each part.
    Use u=1−x2u=1-x^2 to find ∫x1−x2 dx\int\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\,\mathrm{d}x for ∣x∣<1|x|<1.3 marks
