Lecture 5.1 - Integrals Involving Inverse Trig Functions

https://youtu.be/yeaI1XhQWVQ

Review of inverse functions

f(x) and f^-1(x) are inverse functions, so

Using the chain rule, also,

..which would mean:

In the last class, they showed how , therefore .

Inverse trig functions

Results

I feel like his diagram is really useful here as well b/c it shows how you do (cos(tan^-1(x))) by drawing out the triangle:

so b/c of Fundamental theorem of calculus,

Combined with u-substitution

To make these work, you need to remember how to find perfect square trinomials.

Quiz 3/4

1.

Consider the integral w/ , it becomes . What is a/b/c/d?

a=1 b=4 (b/c we need to account for previous squaring C = 4 (constant) D = 3/2 (1 + 1/2 of x^2)

Seems like this wasn’t quite right. Instead, when u=x^2, du = 2x, which means the 4x^3 would be udu. This means the C constant would be 2, not 4. This also means that D would be 1, not 1.5.

2

Find the exact value

I think going to 0.3 is because x went from x/2 to just u, so divide the B value.

3

Find where .

u = cos(x) means du = -sin(x), so the final value should be .

4

… unsure?

Need to do division by polynomials
