   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   The integral is $\dfrac{3}{\sqrt2}\tan^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{\tan x}{\sqrt2}\right)+\log|\tan^2x+2|+C$.

   Concept and Intuition

   Divide numerator and denominator by $\cos^2x$ to convert everything into $\tan x$, then substitute $t=\tan x$.

   Step-by-Step Solution

   1. Dividing by $\cos^2x$: integrand $=\dfrac{(2\tan x+3)\sec^2x}{\tan^2x+2}$.
   2. Let $t=\tan x,\;dt=\sec^2x\,dx$: $\int\dfrac{2t+3}{t^2+2}\,dt$.
   3. Split: $\int\dfrac{2t}{t^2+2}dt=\log(t^2+2)$ and $\int\dfrac{3}{t^2+2}dt=\dfrac{3}{\sqrt2}\tan^{-1}\dfrac{t}{\sqrt2}$.

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Writing $2\sin2x=4\sin x\cos x$ reduces the integrand to $\frac12\sec^2x\,(\tan x)^{-1/2}$; with $u=\tan x$ this integrates to $\sqrt{\tan x}+C$.

   Use $\sin 2x=2\sin x\cos x$, so $2\sin 2x=4\sin x\cos x$ and $\sqrt{2\sin 2x}=2\sqrt{\sin x\cos x}$. Then …

   With $u=\sqrt{4x^2+7}$ the integrand is exactly $\cos u\,du$, giving $\sin\sqrt{4x^2+7}+C$.

   Let $u=\sqrt{4x^2+7}$. Then $\frac{du}{dx}=\frac{8x}{2\sqrt{4x^2+7}}=\frac{4x}{\sqrt{4x^2+7}}$, so $du=\frac{4x}{\sqrt{4x^2+7}}\,dx$. …

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Substitution $u=\sin\theta$ gives $\int\dfrac{du}{2-u^2}=\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt2}\log\left|\dfrac{\sqrt2+\sin\theta}{\sqrt2-\sin\theta}\right|+C$.

   Let $u=\sin\theta$, so $du=\cos\theta\,d\theta$. The integral becomes

   $\int\frac{du}{2-u^2}=\int\frac{du}{(\sqrt2)^2-u^2}.$

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

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

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

   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 …

   ›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

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

    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. …

    ›Reveal solutionSolution

    Since d/dx[e^x(x^2-2x)] = e^x(x^2-2), the integral is sin(e^x(x^2-2x)) + C.

    Concept and Intuition

    Look for the outer function's argument, g(x) = e^x(x^2-2x), and check whether the rest of the integrand is exactly g'(x); if so the integral is a direct substitution.

    Step-by-Step Solution

    1. Let g(x) = e^x(x^2 - 2x).
    2. g'(x) = e^x(x^2-2x) + e^x(2x-2) = e^x(x^2 - 2), which is exactly the prefactor. …
