   Q.If $\int \frac{3ax}{b^2 + c^2x^2} dx = A \log |b^2 + c^2x^2| + K$, then the value of A is: (A) $3a$ (B) $\frac{3a}{2b^2}$ (C) $\frac{3a}{b^2c^2}$ (D) $\frac{3a}{2c^2}$

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   The integral fits the pattern $\int \frac{du}{u} = \log|u| + C$ after a substitution. The constant $A$ turns out to be $\frac{3a}{2c^2}$, which corresponds to option (D).

   The problem gives you the result of an integral and asks you to identify the constant $A$ that makes the equation true. This is a classic "match the form" question — you don't need to guess; you just need to perform the integration carefully and compare.

   The key insight is that the integrand $\frac{3ax}{b^2 + c^2x^2}$ is a rational function where the numerator is almost the derivative of the denominator. The derivative of $b^2 + c^2x^2$ is $2c^2x$. Our numerator is $3ax$, which is a constant multiple of $x$. So a simple substitution $u = b^2 + c^2x^2$ will turn the integral into $\int \frac{du}{u}$.

   Let's work through it step by step.

   1. Set up the substitution.

      Let $u = b^2 + c^2x^2$. Then $du = 2c^2x \, dx$, so $x \, dx = \frac{du}{2c^2}$.

   2. Rewrite the integral in terms of $u$.

      The integral is $\int \frac{3ax}{b^2 + c^2x^2} \, dx = \int \frac{3a}{u} \cdot (x \, dx)$.

      Substitute $x \, dx = \frac{du}{2c^2}$:

   $\int \frac{3a}{u} \cdot \frac{du}{2c^2} = \frac{3a}{2c^2} \int \frac{du}{u}.$

   3. Integrate. $\int \frac{du}{u} = \log|u| + C$, so

   $\frac{3a}{2c^2} \log|u| + C = \frac{3a}{2c^2} \log|b^2 + c^2x^2| + K,$

   where $K$ is the constant of integration (we renamed $C$ to $K$ to match the problem).

   Q.Find the value of the integral $\int x^{2}\tan(x^{3}+2)\,dx$.

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Substitute $u=x^{3}+2$; the integral becomes $\tfrac13\int\tan u\,du=\tfrac13\ln|\sec(x^{3}+2)|+C$.

   Concept: The factor $x^{2}$ is (up to a constant) the derivative of the inner function $x^{3}+2$, so substitution works.

   Let $u=x^{3}+2\Rightarrow du=3x^{2}\,dx\Rightarrow x^{2}\,dx=\dfrac{du}{3}$.

    Q.Evaluate: $\displaystyle\int_{2}^{\sqrt3} \dfrac{x\,dx}{x^2+1}$

    ›Reveal solutionSolution

    Substitute $u=x^2+1$ so the integrand becomes $\frac12\int\frac{du}{u}$, then apply the given limits (2 to $\sqrt3$) directly.

    $\int_{2}^{\sqrt3}\dfrac{x\,dx}{x^2+1}$

    Let $u = x^2+1$, so $du = 2x\,dx$, i.e. $x\,dx = \dfrac{du}{2}$.

    $\int\dfrac{x\,dx}{x^2+1} = \dfrac12\int\dfrac{du}{u} = \dfrac12\ln|u| = \dfrac12\ln(x^2+1)$

    Applying the limits exactly as given (lower limit $x=2$, upper limit $x=\sqrt3$):

    $\left[\dfrac12\ln(x^2+1)\right]_{2}^{\sqrt3} = \dfrac12\ln(3+1) - \dfrac12\ln(4+1) = \dfrac12\ln4 - \dfrac12\ln5 = \dfrac12\ln\dfrac{4}{5}$
