1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,910 2 00:00:06,910 --> 00:00:08,346 Welcome back to recitation. 3 00:00:08,346 --> 00:00:11,890 In this video, we're going to be working on establishing the 4 00:00:11,890 --> 00:00:15,090 best technique for finding an integral or finding an 5 00:00:15,090 --> 00:00:16,350 antiderivative. 6 00:00:16,350 --> 00:00:18,970 We'll be doing this, as you've seen probably in a lot of 7 00:00:18,970 --> 00:00:21,020 these videos, in a row. 8 00:00:21,020 --> 00:00:23,070 And so in this one in particular, we're going to 9 00:00:23,070 --> 00:00:24,620 work on these two. 10 00:00:24,620 --> 00:00:28,230 So what I'd like us to find, is for the letter A, I'd like 11 00:00:28,230 --> 00:00:31,530 us to find an actual value if we take the integral from 12 00:00:31,530 --> 00:00:33,520 minus 1 to 0 of this fraction. 13 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,060 5x squared minus 2x plus 3 over the quantity x squared 14 00:00:38,060 --> 00:00:40,380 plus 1 times x minus one. 15 00:00:40,380 --> 00:00:42,440 And then, the second problem, we're just going to be finding 16 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:43,630 an antiderivative. 17 00:00:43,630 --> 00:00:46,320 So it's finding an antiderivative of the function 18 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,170 1 over x plus 1 times the square root of negative x 19 00:00:49,170 --> 00:00:50,750 squared minus 2x. 20 00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:54,390 Now, this does have a domain over which this function is 21 00:00:54,390 --> 00:00:59,065 well-defined, as long as what's inside the square root 22 00:00:59,065 --> 00:00:59,720 is positive. 23 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,410 And there are values of x for which that's positive. 24 00:01:02,410 --> 00:01:05,020 I just didn't want us to have to compute this one exactly. 25 00:01:05,020 --> 00:01:07,210 So we're just looking for an antiderivative here. 26 00:01:07,210 --> 00:01:10,910 So the goal is, figure out what strategy you want to use, 27 00:01:10,910 --> 00:01:13,150 work through that strategy, and then I'll be back, and 28 00:01:13,150 --> 00:01:15,610 I'll show you which strategy I picked, and the 29 00:01:15,610 --> 00:01:16,860 solution that I got. 30 00:01:16,860 --> 00:01:24,820 31 00:01:24,820 --> 00:01:25,300 OK. 32 00:01:25,300 --> 00:01:26,400 Welcome back. 33 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:27,730 Well, hopefully you were able to make some 34 00:01:27,730 --> 00:01:29,090 headway in both of these. 35 00:01:29,090 --> 00:01:32,170 And so what we'll do right away, is just we'll start with 36 00:01:32,170 --> 00:01:32,655 the first one. 37 00:01:32,655 --> 00:01:34,650 So on the first one, we should be able to get an actual 38 00:01:34,650 --> 00:01:37,510 numerical value at the conclusion of the problem. 39 00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:40,060 And if you look at the first one, it's probably pretty 40 00:01:40,060 --> 00:01:42,730 obvious you want to use partial fraction 41 00:01:42,730 --> 00:01:45,110 decomposition. 42 00:01:45,110 --> 00:01:48,190 You already have a denominator that's factored, and so this 43 00:01:48,190 --> 00:01:50,110 is going to be fairly easy to do. 44 00:01:50,110 --> 00:01:51,740 Now, what's one thing you want to check with partial 45 00:01:51,740 --> 00:01:53,880 fractions, is you want to make sure that the degree of the 46 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,100 numerator is smaller than the degree of the denominator. 47 00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:00,570 Notice that the numerator degree is 2 and the 48 00:02:00,570 --> 00:02:02,930 denominator degree is 3, because we have an x 49 00:02:02,930 --> 00:02:04,130 squared times x. 50 00:02:04,130 --> 00:02:06,330 So we don't have to do any long division. 51 00:02:06,330 --> 00:02:08,380 We can just start the problem. 52 00:02:08,380 --> 00:02:11,520 So what I'm going to do, is I'm going to actually 53 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,250 decompose it without showing you how I did it. 54 00:02:14,250 --> 00:02:17,510 And you've done that practice enough, so I'm just going to 55 00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:19,880 show you what I got with my decomposition, and we'll go 56 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:20,870 from there. 57 00:02:20,870 --> 00:02:24,180 So when I decompose for letter A, I 58 00:02:24,180 --> 00:02:26,130 actually get two integrals. 59 00:02:26,130 --> 00:02:30,100 And the first one I get is the integral from minus 1 to 0 of 60 00:02:30,100 --> 00:02:35,800 2x over x squared plus 1 dx. 61 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:42,470 And the second one I get is the integral minus 1 to 0 of 3 62 00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:45,340 over x minus 1 dx. 63 00:02:45,340 --> 00:02:47,150 Let me just double check and make sure-- yes. 64 00:02:47,150 --> 00:02:50,130 That's what I got when I did this problem earlier. 65 00:02:50,130 --> 00:02:51,330 So this is not magic. 66 00:02:51,330 --> 00:02:52,840 I actually did this already. 67 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,420 That's how I got these. 68 00:02:54,420 --> 00:02:57,010 And now from here, we just have to determine-- 69 00:02:57,010 --> 00:02:58,940 we just have to integrate both of these. 70 00:02:58,940 --> 00:03:01,290 Now, what would be the strategy at this point? 71 00:03:01,290 --> 00:03:02,960 Well this one-- 72 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,970 if this had just been a 2 and no x, you'd be dealing with an 73 00:03:05,970 --> 00:03:08,100 arc tan type of problem. 74 00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:11,190 Because you'd be integrating 1 over x squared plus 1. 75 00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:14,550 But actually, because we have this 2x here, this is really a 76 00:03:14,550 --> 00:03:16,130 substitution problem. 77 00:03:16,130 --> 00:03:16,390 Right? 78 00:03:16,390 --> 00:03:20,950 The derivative of x squared plus 1 is 2x. 79 00:03:20,950 --> 00:03:21,370 Right? 80 00:03:21,370 --> 00:03:24,170 So we see that really what we're integrating is something 81 00:03:24,170 --> 00:03:26,230 like du over u. 82 00:03:26,230 --> 00:03:28,780 And so if you did this substitution problem, you 83 00:03:28,780 --> 00:03:32,250 should get something like natural log of x 84 00:03:32,250 --> 00:03:34,050 squared plus 1. 85 00:03:34,050 --> 00:03:36,110 Let me just double check and make sure that gives me the 86 00:03:36,110 --> 00:03:36,810 derivative here. 87 00:03:36,810 --> 00:03:39,580 The derivative of natural log of x squared plus 1 is 1 over 88 00:03:39,580 --> 00:03:41,220 x squared plus 1 times 2x. 89 00:03:41,220 --> 00:03:43,230 That gives me exactly what's here. 90 00:03:43,230 --> 00:03:45,030 I don't need absolute values here, because 91 00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:46,790 this is always positive. 92 00:03:46,790 --> 00:03:50,500 And I know I need to evaluate it at minus 1 and 0. 93 00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:50,860 OK? 94 00:03:50,860 --> 00:03:52,830 So that takes care of the left one. 95 00:03:52,830 --> 00:03:56,250 Now, the right one is again, it's a pretty straightforward 96 00:03:56,250 --> 00:03:58,490 one, because it's just 3 over x minus 1. 97 00:03:58,490 --> 00:04:00,160 That's a natural log again. 98 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,030 So this natural log is even simpler. 99 00:04:02,030 --> 00:04:07,710 It's going to be 3 times the natural log absolute x minus 1 100 00:04:07,710 --> 00:04:09,850 from minus 1 to 0. 101 00:04:09,850 --> 00:04:12,130 And so now we just have to plug in everything. 102 00:04:12,130 --> 00:04:12,470 OK? 103 00:04:12,470 --> 00:04:17,190 So let's just do this one step at a time, starting over here. 104 00:04:17,190 --> 00:04:19,760 So the natural log, when I put in 0, I get the 105 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:20,970 natural log of 1. 106 00:04:20,970 --> 00:04:23,160 That's 0. 107 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,495 And I subtract what I get when I put in negative 1 for x. 108 00:04:26,495 --> 00:04:29,670 And negative 1 squared gives me 1, so this is minus the 109 00:04:29,670 --> 00:04:32,530 natural log of 2. 110 00:04:32,530 --> 00:04:35,000 And then I have plus 3 times whatever's over here. 111 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,570 So now let's look at this. 112 00:04:36,570 --> 00:04:39,640 When I plug in 0, I get natural log of 0 minus 1 113 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:40,350 absolute value. 114 00:04:40,350 --> 00:04:41,280 That's natural log of 1. 115 00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:42,880 That's zero again. 116 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,680 And then I get a minus. 117 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,130 And then I put in negative 1. 118 00:04:46,130 --> 00:04:49,710 Negative 1 minus 1, negative 2, absolute value, so it's 119 00:04:49,710 --> 00:04:50,960 natural log of 2. 120 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,040 121 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,460 And so if I look it at all the way across, I see I have a 122 00:04:57,460 --> 00:04:59,980 negative natural log of 2 and then I have 3 123 00:04:59,980 --> 00:05:01,410 natural logs of 2. 124 00:05:01,410 --> 00:05:06,590 So the final answer is just negative 4 natural log of 2. 125 00:05:06,590 --> 00:05:07,760 And that is where we'll 126 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,340 stop with A. OK. 127 00:05:10,340 --> 00:05:13,940 So let me just remind you, actually, before we go to B. 128 00:05:13,940 --> 00:05:15,900 What we did in A was we did partial fraction 129 00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:17,340 decomposition. 130 00:05:17,340 --> 00:05:20,820 And I gave you the numerators. 131 00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:23,480 And then on the first one, we had to use maybe a 132 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,990 substitution to figure it out. 133 00:05:24,990 --> 00:05:27,740 I didn't write explicitly the substitution, but a 134 00:05:27,740 --> 00:05:30,380 substitution gives us that integral, and this one is 135 00:05:30,380 --> 00:05:32,950 directly a natural log. 136 00:05:32,950 --> 00:05:33,330 OK. 137 00:05:33,330 --> 00:05:39,070 Now let's look at B. So B-- 138 00:05:39,070 --> 00:05:43,410 let me rewrite the problem, because it's now 139 00:05:43,410 --> 00:05:44,660 a little far away. 140 00:05:44,660 --> 00:05:47,250 141 00:05:47,250 --> 00:05:52,270 I think it's x plus 1 square root of negative x 142 00:05:52,270 --> 00:05:55,420 squared minus 2x. 143 00:05:55,420 --> 00:05:56,550 OK. 144 00:05:56,550 --> 00:05:58,470 So B, the reason-- 145 00:05:58,470 --> 00:06:02,610 I wanted to make sure we did a trig substitution in a 146 00:06:02,610 --> 00:06:04,180 particular way, because I haven't 147 00:06:04,180 --> 00:06:06,000 demonstrated those very much. 148 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,510 So the denominator wound up looking a little awkward, to 149 00:06:08,510 --> 00:06:11,080 force you to do it in that way. 150 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,850 But what we want to do, is we want to actually complete the 151 00:06:13,850 --> 00:06:14,960 square on what's in here. 152 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,100 And that might make you a little bit nervous. 153 00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:20,520 But let me just do a little sidebar work down here, and 154 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,630 point out what we get. 155 00:06:22,630 --> 00:06:26,130 If we factor out a negative here, we get an x 156 00:06:26,130 --> 00:06:29,540 squared plus 2x. 157 00:06:29,540 --> 00:06:29,840 OK? 158 00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:31,740 So we're going to complete the square on the inside. 159 00:06:31,740 --> 00:06:33,350 Now this might make some people nervous. 160 00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:34,700 They might say, you've a negative 161 00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:35,800 under the square root. 162 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,070 But I want to point out that I have a negative here, but I 163 00:06:39,070 --> 00:06:42,550 could always make x squared plus 2x a negative number, and 164 00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:43,930 then I would have-- 165 00:06:43,930 --> 00:06:46,910 the negative times a negative is a positive. 166 00:06:46,910 --> 00:06:49,740 For instance, I think negative 1, right, if I put a negative 167 00:06:49,740 --> 00:06:54,220 1 for x, I get negative 2 plus 1 is a negative value. 168 00:06:54,220 --> 00:06:56,810 So if I put a negative 1 for x, I'm taking the square root 169 00:06:56,810 --> 00:06:57,740 of a positive number. 170 00:06:57,740 --> 00:07:01,070 So there are values of x that make this under the square 171 00:07:01,070 --> 00:07:02,310 root positive. 172 00:07:02,310 --> 00:07:02,715 OK? 173 00:07:02,715 --> 00:07:04,800 So you don't have to worry about that. 174 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,470 Now, if I want to complete the square on what's in 175 00:07:06,470 --> 00:07:07,690 here, what do I do? 176 00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:10,000 I have x squared plus 2x. 177 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,670 I obviously need to add a 1 to complete the square. 178 00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:14,370 Why is that? 179 00:07:14,370 --> 00:07:15,990 Because you take what's here, you divide it by 2, 180 00:07:15,990 --> 00:07:17,270 and you square it. 181 00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:22,430 And so this actually equals square root of negative x 182 00:07:22,430 --> 00:07:25,060 squared plus 2x plus 1. 183 00:07:25,060 --> 00:07:27,530 And I want to subtract 1 so that I haven't changed 184 00:07:27,530 --> 00:07:30,000 anything, but when I pull it out from the negative, it's 185 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,760 another plus 1. 186 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:32,030 OK? 187 00:07:32,030 --> 00:07:33,710 Let's make sure we buy that. 188 00:07:33,710 --> 00:07:37,540 I've added 1 inside here, so if I add 1 on the outside, 189 00:07:37,540 --> 00:07:40,590 this is actually a minus 1, and so this is a plus 1, so 190 00:07:40,590 --> 00:07:42,420 together they add up to 0. 191 00:07:42,420 --> 00:07:45,370 So I haven't changed what's in the square root. 192 00:07:45,370 --> 00:07:48,100 So if I come back and put that in right here, what do I get? 193 00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:56,020 I get the integral dx over x plus 1 square root-- let me 194 00:07:56,020 --> 00:07:56,900 move this over. 195 00:07:56,900 --> 00:07:58,260 I'm going to bring this to the front-- 196 00:07:58,260 --> 00:08:03,340 1 minus x plus 1 squared. 197 00:08:03,340 --> 00:08:03,810 All right. 198 00:08:03,810 --> 00:08:06,750 So from here, we have to do a trig substitution. 199 00:08:06,750 --> 00:08:08,540 Now, what trig substitution we want to do, we 200 00:08:08,540 --> 00:08:10,770 can do sine or cosine. 201 00:08:10,770 --> 00:08:14,350 But I'm going to do cosine, because I like secants better 202 00:08:14,350 --> 00:08:18,000 than cosecants, because I have those memorized better. 203 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,460 So that's why I'm choosing cosine. 204 00:08:20,460 --> 00:08:24,580 You'll see why I chose that way in a little bit. 205 00:08:24,580 --> 00:08:26,040 But it would be, you will get the same 206 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,620 answer if you do sine. 207 00:08:28,620 --> 00:08:28,870 OK. 208 00:08:28,870 --> 00:08:31,390 So I'm going to come to the other side. 209 00:08:31,390 --> 00:08:32,120 Let's see. 210 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:37,470 So I'm choosing cosine theta equals x plus 1. 211 00:08:37,470 --> 00:08:39,650 That's the substitution I'm making. 212 00:08:39,650 --> 00:08:41,620 And why am I making that substitution? 213 00:08:41,620 --> 00:08:45,370 I'm making that substitution because when I do 1 minus x 214 00:08:45,370 --> 00:08:48,520 plus 1 squared, that's actually 1 minus cosine 215 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,540 squared theta. 216 00:08:50,540 --> 00:08:53,840 So that's, this in here is sine squared theta. 217 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,770 And when I take the square root, I just get a sine theta. 218 00:08:56,770 --> 00:08:58,310 So that should be pretty familiar to you 219 00:08:58,310 --> 00:08:59,800 by now, this strategy. 220 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,800 But the point I'm making is that x plus 1 will be a cosine 221 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,180 theta, and this whole square root is what 222 00:09:05,180 --> 00:09:06,300 becomes a sine theta. 223 00:09:06,300 --> 00:09:08,050 So you've seen that a fair amount, but just 224 00:09:08,050 --> 00:09:09,770 to remind you that. 225 00:09:09,770 --> 00:09:13,000 And then the other thing we need is to replace the dx. 226 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,760 So the dx is going to be, derivative of cosine is 227 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,370 negative sine, so you're going to get negative 228 00:09:18,370 --> 00:09:21,860 sine theta d theta. 229 00:09:21,860 --> 00:09:23,040 So now we know all the pieces. 230 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,530 We said this was cosine, we said the square root is sine, 231 00:09:26,530 --> 00:09:29,440 and the dx is negative sine d theta. 232 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,285 So let's rewrite that over here. 233 00:09:31,285 --> 00:09:34,180 234 00:09:34,180 --> 00:09:34,990 So we have-- 235 00:09:34,990 --> 00:09:37,290 I'm going to put the negative in front, so I don't have to 236 00:09:37,290 --> 00:09:38,640 deal with it anymore. 237 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:43,420 Negative sine theta over cosine theta 238 00:09:43,420 --> 00:09:47,030 sine theta d theta. 239 00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:50,180 These divide out, and I get negative 1 over cosine theta, 240 00:09:50,180 --> 00:09:53,330 which is just equal to negative secant theta. 241 00:09:53,330 --> 00:09:54,320 OK? 242 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,900 So I have negative secant theta. 243 00:09:55,900 --> 00:09:57,060 Let me actually write that here. 244 00:09:57,060 --> 00:10:00,940 Negative integral of secant theta d theta. 245 00:10:00,940 --> 00:10:02,200 And now what is that? 246 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,820 Well, we know how to integrate secant. 247 00:10:05,820 --> 00:10:09,180 So let me write that in terms of theta. 248 00:10:09,180 --> 00:10:13,990 It's going to be negative natural log absolute value 249 00:10:13,990 --> 00:10:17,670 secant theta plus tangent theta. 250 00:10:17,670 --> 00:10:19,800 And then we have the plus c out here. 251 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,990 What's the point of this? 252 00:10:21,990 --> 00:10:23,800 Well, we should maybe have this memorized. 253 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,690 If you have to look it up, you have to look it up, but you 254 00:10:25,690 --> 00:10:27,080 saw this one in class. 255 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,560 And the negative is just dropping down here, so don't 256 00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:31,610 think I added that negative in when I was taking 257 00:10:31,610 --> 00:10:32,360 antiderivative. 258 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,740 It was already there. 259 00:10:33,740 --> 00:10:34,070 All right. 260 00:10:34,070 --> 00:10:34,930 So we're done. 261 00:10:34,930 --> 00:10:36,130 Oh, but we're not done. 262 00:10:36,130 --> 00:10:37,940 Why are we not done? 263 00:10:37,940 --> 00:10:40,580 We're not done, because we started off with something in 264 00:10:40,580 --> 00:10:42,850 terms of x, and now we have something in terms of theta, 265 00:10:42,850 --> 00:10:44,330 so we have to finish up. 266 00:10:44,330 --> 00:10:46,450 And how we do that, is we go back, we look at the 267 00:10:46,450 --> 00:10:47,520 substitution we made. 268 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,870 If we make a triangle based on that substitution, we figure 269 00:10:50,870 --> 00:10:53,760 out the values of secant theta and tangent theta, and then we 270 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,340 can plug those in terms of x. 271 00:10:56,340 --> 00:10:57,220 So let's remind ourselves-- 272 00:10:57,220 --> 00:10:59,060 I'm going to draw the triangle in the middle here. 273 00:10:59,060 --> 00:11:02,290 Let's remind ourselves of the relationship we had between 274 00:11:02,290 --> 00:11:05,100 theta and x. 275 00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:10,270 If this is theta, we said cosine theta, right here, 276 00:11:10,270 --> 00:11:12,870 cosine theta was equal to x plus 1. 277 00:11:12,870 --> 00:11:16,300 Cosine theta is adjacent over hypotenuse. 278 00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:20,500 So we want to say, this is x plus 1, and this is 1. 279 00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:23,240 And that implies by the Pythagorean theorem, that this 280 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,856 is square root of 1 minus quantity x plus 1 squared. 281 00:11:27,856 --> 00:11:29,790 Let me move that over. 282 00:11:29,790 --> 00:11:32,290 Notice, then, this also makes sense, why sine 283 00:11:32,290 --> 00:11:33,300 theta is what it is. 284 00:11:33,300 --> 00:11:36,000 Sine theta is this value divided by 1. 285 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,650 So that also helps you understand that. 286 00:11:38,650 --> 00:11:39,100 All right. 287 00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:40,480 So now what do we need to read off? 288 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,850 We need to read off secant, and we 289 00:11:41,850 --> 00:11:43,390 need to read off tangent. 290 00:11:43,390 --> 00:11:46,240 So secant is 1 over cosine, so actually, we could have gotten 291 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,640 that one for free, from the cosine. 292 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,730 So this 1 over cosine is 1 over x plus 1. 293 00:11:52,730 --> 00:11:56,650 So this thing is equal to negative natural log absolute 294 00:11:56,650 --> 00:12:00,110 value 1 over x plus 1 plus-- 295 00:12:00,110 --> 00:12:01,590 now, what's tangent? 296 00:12:01,590 --> 00:12:04,480 If I come back and look at the triangle, tangent theta is 297 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,910 opposite over adjacent. 298 00:12:06,910 --> 00:12:07,460 Right? 299 00:12:07,460 --> 00:12:11,380 So I can actually just put it all over x plus 1 if I wanted. 300 00:12:11,380 --> 00:12:13,760 But I already started writing it separately, so I'll leave 301 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,090 it like this. 302 00:12:15,090 --> 00:12:20,380 Square root of 1 minus x plus 1 quantity squared. 303 00:12:20,380 --> 00:12:23,910 And then close that, and then my plus c. 304 00:12:23,910 --> 00:12:26,520 So now I'm actually finished with the problem. 305 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:31,220 Because now I have an antiderivative in terms of x. 306 00:12:31,220 --> 00:12:33,540 So let me just remind you where this problem, where we 307 00:12:33,540 --> 00:12:36,330 started the problem, kind of take us through quickly, and 308 00:12:36,330 --> 00:12:37,340 then we'll be done. 309 00:12:37,340 --> 00:12:42,400 So back to the beginning, what we had, was we had an integral 310 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,460 that was a fractional problem, but we had an x plus 1 here, 311 00:12:46,460 --> 00:12:48,240 and then we had this really messy-looking 312 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,850 quadratic in here. 313 00:12:49,850 --> 00:12:52,160 To make it easy to deal with, I factored out a negative 314 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,880 sign, and then I saw I could complete the square. 315 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,270 Once you complete the square, you actually get another x 316 00:12:58,270 --> 00:13:00,930 plus 1 in there, which helps us to see immediately, it 317 00:13:00,930 --> 00:13:03,080 should be a trig substitution. 318 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,410 So the substitution that's natural to make, because you 319 00:13:05,410 --> 00:13:08,430 have a 1 minus something involving an x, is going to be 320 00:13:08,430 --> 00:13:09,980 either cosine or sine. 321 00:13:09,980 --> 00:13:11,810 I chose cosine. 322 00:13:11,810 --> 00:13:13,700 If you'd chosen sine, you probably would have gotten a 323 00:13:13,700 --> 00:13:17,715 cosecant up there, instead of a secant, when you were taking 324 00:13:17,715 --> 00:13:19,470 an antiderivative at the very end. 325 00:13:19,470 --> 00:13:22,450 So you would have gotten the same answer because of the 326 00:13:22,450 --> 00:13:25,440 substitutions in the end. 327 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,370 But so I chose cosine theta is equal to x plus 1. 328 00:13:28,370 --> 00:13:31,000 You do that, you can replace this with cosine, this with a 329 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,700 sine, this becomes a negative sine, and then you start 330 00:13:34,700 --> 00:13:35,450 simplifying. 331 00:13:35,450 --> 00:13:38,640 So once we came over here and simplified, we got it into 332 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:39,720 something we recognize. 333 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,140 We got it into secant. 334 00:13:41,140 --> 00:13:45,085 We know the antiderivative for secant, in terms 335 00:13:45,085 --> 00:13:46,110 of secant and tangent. 336 00:13:46,110 --> 00:13:47,730 We know it's exactly this. 337 00:13:47,730 --> 00:13:50,730 And then we went back to the relationship we had. 338 00:13:50,730 --> 00:13:53,680 We made ourselves a triangle in terms of the 339 00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:55,130 theta and the x-values. 340 00:13:55,130 --> 00:13:57,130 And then we were able to substitute in 341 00:13:57,130 --> 00:13:59,300 for secant and tangent. 342 00:13:59,300 --> 00:14:00,040 All right. 343 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,140 So hopefully that was successful for you. 344 00:14:02,140 --> 00:14:04,460 And that's where I'll stop. 345 00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:04,645
