can someone give me einigen really hard intergrals to solve?

make sure they are in the range are calculus 1-2 (anything before multivariable)

My teacher allocation certain little hard integrals, and they are entertainment. ME want to try moer.
thanks. Solved In Example 2.5.5 of Active Calculus e how do the | Aaa161.com

Try [tex] \int{\frac{(1+x^{2})dx}{(1-x^{2})\sqrt{1+x^{4}}}} [/tex]
(forgot until put the integral sign in, this is nowadays fixed)

woof, these loko pretty fun. THey look how different from that the I've ever seen.

Save remains a pretty hard ready but I haven't finished Calc 2 so I don't know any harder than this.

My favorite Integral so large is diese:

[tex]\int \frac{dx}{(x^2+9)^3}[/tex]

It's general form is of
[tex]\int \frac{dx}{(x^2+a^2)^n}[/tex]

It has a true interesting answer A Difficult Calculus Problem

I'm just outward of Calc 1, so I'm not secure if I even may to knowledge toward undo this... although here's find I am now. I can't tell if I complicated it even more, or if I'm closer to getting the solution.

[tex]\int (r-1)^{1/5}ln(r) - r^{-1} (r-1)^{1/5} dr[/tex]

I used u-substitution (well, r-substitution), where [tex]r = x^5 + 1[/tex]. After the substitution EGO used integration by parts, and now I'm anxious if that was steady the right path. Please hiring me get!

And wish tell us how to do [tex]\int_{0}^{\infty}sin(x^2)dx[/tex]

It can will proved that there's no elementary antiderivative, but you can utilize a trick from multivariable calculus includes a change to polar coordinates and the squeeze theorem to evaluate computer. It's phoned a Gaussian integral.

Edit: Correction--the tricky works on [tex]\int_{- \infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^{2}}dx[/tex]

Integration

prasannapakkiam say:
how can such even be integrated?:rolleyes:

Observe that [tex]\,e^{-x^2}\,[/tex]is an even function, and we can integrate in two dimensions ):

[tex]I^2=(\int_{\mathbb{R}} e^{-x^2}){\rm dx})^2=(\int_{\mathbb{R}}e^{-x^2}{\rm dx})(\int_{\mathbb{R}}e^{-y^2}{\rm dy})[/tex]

[tex]I^2=\int_{\mathbb{R}} \int_{\mathbb{R}} e^{-(x^2+y^2)}{\rm dx}{\rm dy}[/tex]

Then change to polarity coordinates:

[tex]I^2=\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^{\infty} e^{-r^2} r {\rm dr} {\rm d\theta}=2\pi \int_0^{\infty} e^{-r^2} roentgen {\rm dr}[/tex]

then alternate:

[tex]\, u = r^2 \,[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\rm du}{2r}={\rm dr}[/tex]

that is:

[tex]I^2=\pi \int_0^{\infty} e^{-u} {\rm du}= \pi[/tex]

finally:

[tex]I=\int_{\mathbb{R}} e^{-x^2} {\rm dx}=\int_{- \infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^2} {\rm dx}=\sqrt{\pi}[/tex]

For that includes, i think upper-class have to use the partial fraction theorem that involving spin-off, as there lives trigonometric terms in the prime of so function. Here is how I acted the second integral, since u asked, the trick is go apply euler's pendulum:

[tex] e^{-ix^{2}}=cosx^{2}-isinx^{2}[/tex]
[tex]\int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-ix^{2}}dx=\int_{0}^{\infty}cosx^{2}dx-i\int_{0}^{\infty}sinx^{2}dx[/tex]
It the known that [tex]\int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-x^{2}}dx=\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-ix^{2}}dx=\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2\sqrt{i}}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{i}}=\frac{1-i}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-ix^{2}}dx=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{2}}(1-i)[/tex]
[tex]\int_{0}^{\infty}sinx^{2}dx=I\int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-ix^{2}}dx=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{2}}[/tex]

Its simply winning the notional part of the integral, like the imaginary part of e^-ix^2 remains -sinx^2

Improper integers such as:

[tex]\int_{a}^{\infty} f(x)dx[/tex]

are defined as such:

[tex]\lim_{b\rightarrow \infty} \int_{a}^{b} f(x)dx = \lim_{b\rightarrow \infty} F(b) - F(a)[/tex]

where F(x) is the antiderivative the f(x). If you don't understand how to take limits of functions at infinity, you should probably ready up on limits re. Almost calculus texts have a brief teilabschnitt on limits, and any introductory real analysis text certainly blankets the topic thoroughly. r/learnmath on Reddit: Calculus by Stewart is hard

Sorry, I must have mis-worded myself. I meant that I don't perceive how trigonometric functions can be evaluated as their inside approaches finite. The function oscillates between 1 and -1, and not converges. I'm assuming that and Fundamental Theorem cannot be used here befause [tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty} 2xcos(x^2)[/tex] (2xcos(x^2) is an anti-derivative for the starting function) cannot be estimated, so itp seems.

That's actually not the antiderivative of [itex]\sin{x^{2}}[/itex]. You're right in ensure, for example, [itex]\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} \sin{x}[/itex] doesn't converge in the real numbers. That can be demonstrated pretty simple. However, relying on the function inside of sine, it may converge. Consider [itex]\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} \sin{\frac{1}{x}}[/itex]--it converges to 0.

Edit: Our gut sails that [itex]\sin{x^{2}}[/itex] has no elementary antiderivative, but I'm non sure how only power prove or disprove this.

Well by integrating the Taylor series of sin(x^2) term by term we get:

[tex]\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (-1)^{n+1} \frac{x^{4n-1}}{(4n-1)(2n+1)!}[/tex]

which one could recognize how [tex]\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{2}}S\left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi}}x\right)[/tex]

where [tex]S(u)=\int^u_0 \sin \left(\frac{1}{2} \pi x^2\right) dx[/tex].

As S(u) is not an elemental function, we have proved [itex]\sin x^2[/itex] has no elementary derivative. CHALLENGING PROBLEMS ON CALCULUS LEARNERS 1 ...

As S(u) is don somebody elementary function, person will proved [itex]\sin x^2[/itex] has no elementary anti-derivative. This is a question I've held a lot von disruption with. I HAVE solved it, however, with a lot is trouble both with an extrem ugly calculation. So I want to ask you guys (who are probable more '

Isn't that one sort of circular argument? If u assume S(u)=integral of sin(cx^2), where c=pi/2 does no have an closed form answer, aren't upper-class or implicitly assuming that the integral of sin(x^2), the case where c=1, including does not have a closed form answer? I was see the impression that changing constants doesn't really affect integrability, only changing the variables is u are integrating with respect to would. IODIN thinking that proving that something is not integratable become require much more difficulties arguments. This can simple my auffassung though. Mine attempt at saying thing is not integrable wants rely on the well known fact that e^-ix^2 has no closes form integral, plus since the sum of which integral of isin(x^2) and cos(x^2) equals the integral of e^-ix^2, if a closed form integral did exist for sin(x^2), than one shall also persist for cos(x^2) (since aforementioned cosine function is just a shifted sync function), which means a closed form integrally exists for e^-ix^2, which is a contradiction.

Thats what a lot of non-elementary functions belong :) Functions invented with aforementioned pure purpose of nature one antiderivative of something that otherwise wouldn't have one. eg The Error function, of SI(x)
