   Q.$\int\cos\sqrt{x}\,dx =$

   (a) $\sin\sqrt{x} + \cos\sqrt{x} + k$

   (b) $\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{x}\sin\sqrt{x} - \cos\sqrt{x}) + k$

   (c) $2(\sqrt{x}\sin\sqrt{x} + \cos\sqrt{x}) + k$

   (d) $\sin\sqrt{x} + k$

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Put $t=\sqrt{x}$; the integral becomes $2\int t\cos t\,dt=2(t\sin t+\cos t)+k$.

   Let $t=\sqrt{x}$, so $x=t^2$ and $dx=2t\,dt$. Then

   $\int\cos\sqrt{x}\,dx=\int\cos t\,(2t\,dt)=2\int t\cos t\,dt$.

   Integrate $\int t\cos t\,dt$ by parts ($u=t,\ dv=\cos t\,dt$): $=t\sin t-\int\sin t\,dt=t\sin t+\cos t$.

   Q.$\int e^x\left(\tan^{-1}x + \frac{1}{1+x^2}\right)dx =$

   (a) $e^x\tan^{-1}x + k$

   (b) $e^x \cdot \frac{1}{1+x^2} + k$

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Recognise $\int e^x[f(x)+f'(x)]\,dx=e^x f(x)+k$; here $f(x)=\tan^{-1}x$.

   Note $\dfrac{d}{dx}\tan^{-1}x=\dfrac{1}{1+x^2}$. So the integrand is $e^x\big[\tan^{-1}x+(\tan^{-1}x)'\big]$, which matches the standard pattern

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   By parts: $\int_0^1 xe^x\,dx=[(x-1)e^x]_0^1=1$.

   Take $u=x,\ dv=e^x\,dx$, so $du=dx,\ v=e^x$:

   $\int x e^x\,dx=xe^x-\int e^x\,dx=xe^x-e^x=(x-1)e^x$.

   Q.Write the value of $\int e^x(\sin x-\cos x)\,dx$.

   (a) $-e^x\cos x+c$

   (b) $e^x\sin x+c$

   (c) $-e^x\sec x+c$

   (d) $e^x\operatorname{cosec} x+c$

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Recognising the standard form $\int e^x[f(x)+f'(x)]\,dx=e^xf(x)+c$ gives $-e^x\cos x+c$.

   There is a standard integration result:

   $\int e^x\big[f(x)+f'(x)\big]\,dx=e^x f(x)+c$

   Compare the integrand $\sin x-\cos x$ with $f(x)+f'(x)$. Try $f(x)=-\cos x$; then $f'(x)=\sin x$, so

   $f(x)+f'(x)=-\cos x+\sin x=\sin x-\cos x$ …

   (d) None of these

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   This is of the standard form $\int e^x[f(x)+f'(x)]\,dx = e^x f(x)+C$.

   Let $f(x) = \log\sec x$. Then $f'(x) = \dfrac{\sec x\tan x}{\sec x} = \tan x$.

    Q.Evaluate : $\displaystyle\int x\log 2x\, dx$

    ›Reveal solutionSolution

    Use integration by parts, taking the logarithm as the first function.

    Let $I=\displaystyle\int x\log 2x\,dx$. Apply $\int u\,dv=uv-\int v\,du$ with

    $u=\log 2x,\qquad dv=x\,dx.$

    Then

    $du=\frac{1}{2x}\cdot 2\,dx=\frac1x\,dx,\qquad v=\frac{x^2}{2}.$

    Therefore

    $I=\log 2x\cdot\frac{x^2}{2}-\int\frac{x^2}{2}\cdot\frac1x\,dx=\frac{x^2}{2}\log 2x-\frac12\int x\,dx.$ …

    Q.$\displaystyle\int e^x\sec x(1+\tan x)\, dx$ is equal to

    (a) $e^x\cos x + c$

    (b) $e^x\sec x + c$

    (c) $e^x\sin x + c$

    (d) $e^x\tan x + c$

    ›Reveal solutionSolution

    Recognise the form $\int e^x\{f(x)+f'(x)\}\,dx=e^xf(x)+c$.

    Expand the integrand:

    $e^x\sec x(1+\tan x)=e^x\big(\sec x+\sec x\tan x\big).$

    Let $f(x)=\sec x$. Then

    $f'(x)=\sec x\tan x.$

    So the integrand is exactly $e^x\{f(x)+f'(x)\}$, and by the standard result

    $\int e^x\{f(x)+f'(x)\}\,dx=e^xf(x)+c=e^x\sec x+c.$
