MAT 296-M003 Fall 2022 - Take-Home Quiz 4

9/30/22 - Due 10/7/22; 1 Week Instructor: Ng Name: Butter Toast

Instructions: This is take-home Quiz 4 on trigonometric integrals. Please work on these problems

in your Quiz 3 groups. Refer to lecture notes from Tuesday 9/28 if you get stuck. I will be coming

around to each group to check on progress. Please complete this by next Friday’s recitation 10/7.

(1) (3 points)

Z

cos2

(2x + 1)dx

Solution. Use double angle identity:

Z

cos2

(2x + 1)dx =

Z

1

2

(1 + cos(2(2x + 1)))dx

=

1

2

Z

(1 + cos(4x + 2))dx

=

1

2

x +

1

4

sin(4x + 2)

+ C,

where in the last equality we integrated term by term and used u-sub with u = 4x + 2.

(2) (3 points)

Z

sin5 x cos3 xdx

Solution. We have odd powers so we try using Pythagorean identity after factoring one of

the odd powers such that a ”squared” cosine or sine appears; a ”good” choice would be

cos3 x = cos2 x cos x and set u = sin x:

Z

sin5 x cos3 xdx =

Z

sin5 x cos2 x cos xdx

=

Z

sin5 x(1 − sin2

) cos xdx

=

Z

u

(1 − u

)du

=

Z

(u

5 − u

7

)du

=

u

=

sin6 x

+ C.

(3) (3 points)

Z

sec4 x tan6 xdx

1

Page 2 of 2

Solution. Let’s try writing ”everything” in terms of tan x; which means that we would need

to set u = tan x so that du = sec2 xdx is a term that appears when we do a substitution:

Z

sec4 x tan6 xdx =

Z

sec2 x tan6 x sec2 xdx

=

Z

(1 + tan2 x) tan6 x sec2 xdx

=

Z

(1 + u

2

)u

6

du

=

Z

(u

6 + u

8

)du

=

u

=

tan7 x

tan9

9

+ C.

(4) (3 points)

Z √

4 − x

2dx

Solution. Note the integrand is of the form √

a

2 − x

2 where a = 2; as discussed in class, we

choose the substitution x = a sin u = 2 sin u. Then dx = 2 cos udu and we have

Z √

4 − x

2dx =

Z p

4 − (2 sin u)

22 cos udu = 2 Z p

4 − 4 sin2 u cos udu

= 2 Z q

4(1 − sin2 u) cos udu

= 4 Z p

1 − sin2 u cos udu

= 4 Z √

cos2 u cos udu

= 4 Z

cos2 udu

= 4 Z

1

2

(1 + cos 2u)du

= 2 Z

(1 + cos 2u)du

= 2

u +

sin 2u

2

+ C

= 2u + sin 2u + C

= 2 arcsin x

+ 2 sin u cos u + C

= 2 arcsin x
