   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Substituting u=sin^{-1}x turns the integral into u du = (1/2)(sin^{-1}x)^2 + C.

   Concept and Intuition

   The factor 1/sqrt(1-x^2) is exactly the derivative of sin^{-1}x, so the substitution u = sin^{-1}x collapses the integral.

   Step-by-Step Solution

   1. Let u = sin^{-1}x, then du = dx/sqrt(1-x^2).
   2. The integral becomes integral of u du. …

   Q.$\int \dfrac{dx}{x^2 (x^4 + 1)^{3/4}} =$ (A) $-(x^4 + 1)^{1/4} + C$ (B) $(x^4 + 1)^{1/4} + C$ (C) $-\left(\dfrac{x^4 + 1}{x^4}\right)^{1/4} + C$ (D) $\left(\dfrac{x^4 + 1}{x^4}\right) + C$ (E) $\left(\dfrac{x^4 + 1}{x^4}\right)^{3/4} + C$

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Factor $x^4$ out of the radical; with $u=1+x^{-4}$, $du=-4x^{-5}dx$, the integral becomes $-u^{1/4}=-\left(\frac{x^4+1}{x^4}\right)^{1/4}+C$.

   Write $(x^4+1)^{3/4}=x^3(1+x^{-4})^{3/4}$, so

   $\int\frac{dx}{x^2(x^4+1)^{3/4}}=\int\frac{dx}{x^5(1+x^{-4})^{3/4}}.$ …

   The substitution $u=\sec x+\tan x$ turns it into $\int u^{-3}\,du$.

   Let $u=\sec x+\tan x$. Then $du=(\sec x\tan x+\sec^2 x)\,dx=\sec x(\tan x+\sec x)\,dx=\sec x\,u\,dx$, so $\sec x\,dx=\dfrac{du}{u}$. Hence …

   Substitute $u=\sqrt{2x+5}$; the differential cancels the $\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2x+5}}$ factor.

   Let $u=\sqrt{2x+5}$. Then

   $du=\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{2x+5}}\cdot 2\,dx=\dfrac{dx}{\sqrt{2x+5}}.$

    Substitute $u=\tan^6 x$; the integral reduces to $\tfrac16\int \frac{du}{u^2+1} = \tfrac16\tan^{-1}(\tan^6 x)+C$.

    Let $u = \tan^6 x$. Then $du = 6\tan^5 x \sec^2 x\,dx$, so $\tan^5 x\sec^2 x\,dx = \tfrac{du}{6}$.

    ›Reveal solutionSolution

    Factor $\sqrt{\sin x}+\sqrt{\cos x}=\sqrt{\cos x}(\sqrt{\tan x}+1)$ to reduce the integrand to $\dfrac{\sec^2 x}{\sqrt{\tan x}+1}$; substituting $u=\sqrt{\tan x}$ gives option (A).

    Write the denominator as $\sqrt{\sin x}+\sqrt{\cos x}=\sqrt{\cos x}\bigl(\sqrt{\tan x}+1\bigr)$. The numerator is $\sec x\sqrt{\sec x}=\cos^{-3/2}x$, so

    $\dfrac{\cos^{-3/2}x}{\sqrt{\cos x}\,(\sqrt{\tan x}+1)}=\dfrac{\cos^{-2}x}{\sqrt{\tan x}+1}=\dfrac{\sec^2 x}{\sqrt{\tan x}+1}.$
