1 00:00:06,910 --> 00:00:08,346 Welcome back to recitation. 2 00:00:08,346 --> 00:00:10,440 In this video, we're going to be working 3 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,930 on establishing the best technique for finding 4 00:00:13,930 --> 00:00:16,350 an integral or finding an antiderivative. 5 00:00:16,350 --> 00:00:18,440 We'll be doing this, as you've seen probably 6 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,020 in a lot of these videos, in a row. 7 00:00:21,020 --> 00:00:22,550 And so in this one in particular, 8 00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:24,620 we're going to work on these two. 9 00:00:24,620 --> 00:00:27,965 So what I'd like us to find, is for the letter A, 10 00:00:27,965 --> 00:00:30,630 I'd like us to find an actual value 11 00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:33,520 if we take the integral from minus 1 to 0 of this fraction. 12 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,660 5 x squared minus 2x plus 3 over the quantity x squared plus 1 13 00:00:38,660 --> 00:00:40,172 times x minus one. 14 00:00:40,172 --> 00:00:41,630 And then, the second problem, we're 15 00:00:41,630 --> 00:00:43,630 just going to be finding an antiderivative. 16 00:00:43,630 --> 00:00:46,320 So it's finding an antiderivative of the function 17 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,490 1 over x plus 1 times the square root of negative x squared 18 00:00:49,490 --> 00:00:50,750 minus 2x. 19 00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:54,390 Now, this does have a domain over which this function is 20 00:00:54,390 --> 00:00:59,065 well-defined, as long as what's inside the square root 21 00:00:59,065 --> 00:00:59,720 is positive. 22 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,410 And there are values of x for which that's positive. 23 00:01:02,410 --> 00:01:05,020 I just didn't want us to have to compute this one exactly. 24 00:01:05,020 --> 00:01:07,210 So we're just looking for an antiderivative here. 25 00:01:07,210 --> 00:01:10,910 So the goal is, figure out what strategy you want to use, 26 00:01:10,910 --> 00:01:13,050 work through that strategy, and then I'll be back, 27 00:01:13,050 --> 00:01:14,800 and I'll show you which strategy I picked, 28 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,510 and the solution that I got. 29 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:25,300 OK. 30 00:01:25,300 --> 00:01:25,957 Welcome back. 31 00:01:25,957 --> 00:01:28,040 Well, hopefully you were able to make some headway 32 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,090 in both of these. 33 00:01:29,090 --> 00:01:31,150 And so what we'll do right away, is just 34 00:01:31,150 --> 00:01:32,655 we'll start with the first one. 35 00:01:32,655 --> 00:01:34,030 So on the first one, we should be 36 00:01:34,030 --> 00:01:36,510 able to get an actual numerical value at the conclusion 37 00:01:36,510 --> 00:01:37,510 of the problem. 38 00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:39,160 And if you look at the first one, 39 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,730 it's probably pretty obvious you want to use partial fraction 40 00:01:42,730 --> 00:01:45,110 decomposition. 41 00:01:45,110 --> 00:01:47,640 You already have a denominator that's factored, 42 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,695 and so this is going to be fairly easy to do. 43 00:01:49,695 --> 00:01:51,320 Now, what's one thing you want to check 44 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,778 with partial fractions, is you want 45 00:01:52,778 --> 00:01:55,010 to make sure that the degree of the numerator 46 00:01:55,010 --> 00:01:58,100 is smaller than the degree of the denominator. 47 00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:00,230 Notice that the numerator degree is 2 48 00:02:00,230 --> 00:02:02,540 and the denominator degree is 3, because we 49 00:02:02,540 --> 00:02:04,130 have an x squared times x. 50 00:02:04,130 --> 00:02:06,330 So we don't have to do any long division. 51 00:02:06,330 --> 00:02:08,380 We can just start the problem. 52 00:02:08,380 --> 00:02:12,450 So what I'm going to do, is I'm going to actually decompose it 53 00:02:12,450 --> 00:02:14,250 without showing you how I did it. 54 00:02:14,250 --> 00:02:16,604 And you've done that practice enough, 55 00:02:16,604 --> 00:02:18,020 so I'm just going to show you what 56 00:02:18,020 --> 00:02:20,870 I got with my decomposition, and we'll go from there. 57 00:02:20,870 --> 00:02:24,030 So when I decompose, for letter A, 58 00:02:24,030 --> 00:02:26,130 I actually get two integrals. 59 00:02:26,130 --> 00:02:28,750 And the first one I get is the integral from minus 1 60 00:02:28,750 --> 00:02:35,800 to 0 of 2x over x squared plus 1 dx. 61 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,490 And the second one I get is the integral, minus 1 to 0, 62 00:02:40,490 --> 00:02:45,276 of 3 over x minus 1 dx. 63 00:02:45,276 --> 00:02:47,150 Let me just double check and make sure-- yes. 64 00:02:47,150 --> 00:02:50,130 That's what I got when I did this problem earlier. 65 00:02:50,130 --> 00:02:51,330 So this is not magic. 66 00:02:51,330 --> 00:02:52,840 I actually did this already. 67 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,420 That's how I got these. 68 00:02:54,420 --> 00:02:57,440 And now from here, we just have to determine-- we just have 69 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:58,940 to integrate both of these. 70 00:02:58,940 --> 00:03:01,290 Now, what would be the strategy at this point? 71 00:03:01,290 --> 00:03:05,010 Well this one-- if this had just been a 2 and no x, 72 00:03:05,010 --> 00:03:08,100 you'd be dealing with an arctan type of problem. 73 00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:11,190 Because you'd be integrating 1 over x squared plus 1. 74 00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:13,180 But actually, because we have this 2x here, 75 00:03:13,180 --> 00:03:15,890 this is really a substitution problem. 76 00:03:15,890 --> 00:03:16,390 Right? 77 00:03:16,390 --> 00:03:20,870 The derivative of x squared plus 1 is 2x. 78 00:03:20,870 --> 00:03:21,370 Right? 79 00:03:21,370 --> 00:03:23,750 So we see that really what we're integrating 80 00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:26,230 is something like du over u. 81 00:03:26,230 --> 00:03:28,620 And so if you did this substitution problem, 82 00:03:28,620 --> 00:03:31,870 you should get something like natural log 83 00:03:31,870 --> 00:03:33,779 of x squared plus 1. 84 00:03:33,779 --> 00:03:35,570 Let me just double check and make sure that 85 00:03:35,570 --> 00:03:36,810 gives me the derivative here. 86 00:03:36,810 --> 00:03:38,851 The derivative of natural log of x squared plus 1 87 00:03:38,851 --> 00:03:41,220 is 1 over x squared plus 1 times 2x. 88 00:03:41,220 --> 00:03:43,230 That gives me exactly what's here. 89 00:03:43,230 --> 00:03:44,710 I don't need absolute values here, 90 00:03:44,710 --> 00:03:46,790 because this is always positive. 91 00:03:46,790 --> 00:03:50,360 And I know I need to evaluate it at minus 1 and 0. 92 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:50,860 OK? 93 00:03:50,860 --> 00:03:52,830 So that takes care of the left one. 94 00:03:52,830 --> 00:03:55,269 Now, the right one is-- again, it's 95 00:03:55,269 --> 00:03:57,310 a pretty straightforward one, because it's just 3 96 00:03:57,310 --> 00:03:58,490 over x minus 1. 97 00:03:58,490 --> 00:04:00,160 That's a natural log again. 98 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,030 So this natural log is even simpler. 99 00:04:02,030 --> 00:04:07,710 It's going to be 3 times the natural log absolute x minus 1 100 00:04:07,710 --> 00:04:09,850 from minus 1 to 0. 101 00:04:09,850 --> 00:04:11,971 And so now we just have to plug in everything. 102 00:04:11,971 --> 00:04:12,470 OK? 103 00:04:12,470 --> 00:04:17,190 So let's just do this one step at a time, starting over here. 104 00:04:17,190 --> 00:04:19,390 So the natural log, when I put in 0, 105 00:04:19,390 --> 00:04:20,970 I get the natural log of 1. 106 00:04:20,970 --> 00:04:23,160 That's 0. 107 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,495 And I subtract what I get when I put in negative 1 for x. 108 00:04:26,495 --> 00:04:28,670 And negative 1 squared gives me 1, 109 00:04:28,670 --> 00:04:32,530 so this is minus the natural log of 2. 110 00:04:32,530 --> 00:04:35,000 And then I have plus 3 times whatever's over here. 111 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,570 So now let's look at this. 112 00:04:36,570 --> 00:04:39,000 When I plug in 0, I get natural log of 0 113 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,281 minus 1, absolute value. 114 00:04:40,281 --> 00:04:41,280 That's natural log of 1. 115 00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:42,880 That's zero again. 116 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,680 And then I get a minus. 117 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,130 And then I put in negative 1. 118 00:04:46,130 --> 00:04:49,350 Negative 1 minus 1, negative 2, absolute value, 119 00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:50,760 so it's natural log of 2. 120 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,620 And so if I look it at all the way across, 121 00:04:56,620 --> 00:04:58,760 I see I have a negative natural log of 2 122 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,410 and then I have 3 natural logs of 2. 123 00:05:01,410 --> 00:05:06,590 So the final answer is just negative 4 natural log of 2. 124 00:05:06,590 --> 00:05:09,841 And that is where we'll stop with (a). 125 00:05:09,841 --> 00:05:10,340 OK. 126 00:05:10,340 --> 00:05:13,940 So let me just remind you, actually, before we go to (b). 127 00:05:13,940 --> 00:05:17,340 What we did in (a) was we did partial fraction decomposition. 128 00:05:17,340 --> 00:05:20,820 And I gave you the numerators. 129 00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:24,260 And then on the first one, we had to use maybe a substitution 130 00:05:24,260 --> 00:05:24,990 to figure it out. 131 00:05:24,990 --> 00:05:27,480 I didn't write explicitly the substitution, 132 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,810 but a substitution gives us that integral, 133 00:05:29,810 --> 00:05:32,830 and this one is directly a natural log. 134 00:05:32,830 --> 00:05:33,330 OK. 135 00:05:33,330 --> 00:05:36,830 Now let's look at (b). 136 00:05:36,830 --> 00:05:43,140 So (b)-- let me rewrite the problem, because it's 137 00:05:43,140 --> 00:05:44,265 now a little far away. 138 00:05:47,250 --> 00:05:52,900 I think it's x plus 1 square root of negative x squared 139 00:05:52,900 --> 00:05:55,420 minus 2x. 140 00:05:55,420 --> 00:05:56,550 OK. 141 00:05:56,550 --> 00:06:00,210 So (b), the reason-- I wanted to make sure 142 00:06:00,210 --> 00:06:03,430 we did a trig substitution in a particular way, 143 00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:06,000 because I haven't demonstrated those very much. 144 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,400 So the denominator wound up looking a little awkward, 145 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,080 to force you to do it in that way. 146 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,750 But what we want to do, is we want to actually complete 147 00:06:13,750 --> 00:06:14,960 the square on what's in here. 148 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,100 And that might make you a little bit nervous. 149 00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:20,330 But let me just do a little sidebar work down here, 150 00:06:20,330 --> 00:06:22,630 and point out what we get. 151 00:06:22,630 --> 00:06:25,520 If we factor out a negative here, 152 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,340 we get an x squared plus 2x. 153 00:06:29,340 --> 00:06:29,840 OK? 154 00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:31,740 So we're going to complete the square on the inside. 155 00:06:31,740 --> 00:06:33,406 Now this might make some people nervous. 156 00:06:33,406 --> 00:06:35,800 They might say, you've a negative under the square root. 157 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,756 But I want to point out that I have a negative here, 158 00:06:38,756 --> 00:06:40,130 but I could always make x squared 159 00:06:40,130 --> 00:06:43,090 plus 2x a negative number, and then 160 00:06:43,090 --> 00:06:46,910 I would have-- the negative times a negative is a positive. 161 00:06:46,910 --> 00:06:48,950 For instance, I think negative 1, right, 162 00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:52,890 if I put a negative 1 for x, I get negative 2 plus 1 163 00:06:52,890 --> 00:06:54,220 is a negative value. 164 00:06:54,220 --> 00:06:55,907 So if I put a negative 1 for x, I'm 165 00:06:55,907 --> 00:06:57,740 taking the square root of a positive number. 166 00:06:57,740 --> 00:07:01,250 So there are values of x that make this under the square root 167 00:07:01,250 --> 00:07:02,216 positive. 168 00:07:02,216 --> 00:07:02,715 OK? 169 00:07:02,715 --> 00:07:04,607 So you don't have to worry about that. 170 00:07:04,607 --> 00:07:06,940 Now, if I want to complete the square on what's in here, 171 00:07:06,940 --> 00:07:07,690 what do I do? 172 00:07:07,690 --> 00:07:10,000 I have x squared plus 2x. 173 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,670 I obviously need to add a 1 to complete the square. 174 00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:14,370 Why is that? 175 00:07:14,370 --> 00:07:16,411 Because you take what's here, you divide it by 2, 176 00:07:16,411 --> 00:07:17,270 and you square it. 177 00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:19,860 And so this actually equals square root 178 00:07:19,860 --> 00:07:25,060 of negative x squared plus 2x plus 1. 179 00:07:25,060 --> 00:07:27,900 And I want to subtract 1 so that I haven't changed anything, 180 00:07:27,900 --> 00:07:31,531 but when I pull it out from the negative, it's another plus 1. 181 00:07:31,531 --> 00:07:32,030 OK? 182 00:07:32,030 --> 00:07:33,710 Let's make sure we buy that. 183 00:07:33,710 --> 00:07:37,540 I've added 1 inside here, so if I add 1 on the outside, 184 00:07:37,540 --> 00:07:40,490 this is actually a minus 1, and so this is a plus 1, 185 00:07:40,490 --> 00:07:42,420 so together they add up to 0. 186 00:07:42,420 --> 00:07:45,370 So I haven't changed what's in the square root. 187 00:07:45,370 --> 00:07:48,100 So if I come back and put that in right here, what do I get? 188 00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:55,590 I get the integral dx over x plus 1 square root-- 189 00:07:55,590 --> 00:07:56,824 let me move this over. 190 00:07:56,824 --> 00:07:58,490 I'm going to bring this to the front-- 1 191 00:07:58,490 --> 00:08:03,310 minus x plus 1 squared. 192 00:08:03,310 --> 00:08:03,810 All right. 193 00:08:03,810 --> 00:08:06,670 So from here, we have to do a trig substitution. 194 00:08:06,670 --> 00:08:08,420 Now, what trig substitution we want to do, 195 00:08:08,420 --> 00:08:10,770 we can do sine or cosine. 196 00:08:10,770 --> 00:08:14,130 But I'm going to do cosine, because I like secants 197 00:08:14,130 --> 00:08:18,000 better than cosecants, because I have those memorized better. 198 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,460 So that's why I'm choosing cosine. 199 00:08:20,460 --> 00:08:24,580 You'll see why I chose that way in a little bit. 200 00:08:24,580 --> 00:08:28,370 But it would be, you will get the same answer if you do sine. 201 00:08:28,370 --> 00:08:28,870 OK. 202 00:08:28,870 --> 00:08:31,390 So I'm going to come to the other side. 203 00:08:31,390 --> 00:08:32,120 Let's see. 204 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:37,470 So I'm choosing cosine theta equals x plus 1. 205 00:08:37,470 --> 00:08:39,650 That's the substitution I'm making. 206 00:08:39,650 --> 00:08:41,620 And why am I making that substitution? 207 00:08:41,620 --> 00:08:43,820 I'm making that substitution because when 208 00:08:43,820 --> 00:08:47,140 I do 1 minus x plus 1 squared, that's actually 209 00:08:47,140 --> 00:08:50,540 1 minus cosine squared theta. 210 00:08:50,540 --> 00:08:53,840 So that's, this in here is sine squared theta. 211 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,644 And when I take the square root, I just get a sine theta. 212 00:08:56,644 --> 00:08:58,310 So that should be pretty familiar to you 213 00:08:58,310 --> 00:08:59,800 by now, this strategy. 214 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,010 But the point I'm making is that x plus 1 215 00:09:02,010 --> 00:09:04,920 will be a cosine theta, and this whole square root 216 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,300 is what becomes a sine theta. 217 00:09:06,300 --> 00:09:07,740 So you've seen that a fair amount, 218 00:09:07,740 --> 00:09:09,770 but just to remind you that. 219 00:09:09,770 --> 00:09:13,000 And then the other thing we need is to replace the dx. 220 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,471 So the dx is going to be, derivative of cosine 221 00:09:16,471 --> 00:09:18,720 is negative sine, so you're going to get negative sine 222 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,790 theta d theta. 223 00:09:21,790 --> 00:09:23,040 So now we know all the pieces. 224 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,530 We said this was cosine, we said the square root is sine, 225 00:09:26,530 --> 00:09:29,440 and the dx is negative sine d theta. 226 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,285 So let's rewrite that over here. 227 00:09:34,180 --> 00:09:36,740 So we have-- I'm going to put the negative in front, 228 00:09:36,740 --> 00:09:38,640 so I don't have to deal with it anymore. 229 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:47,030 Negative sine theta over cosine theta sine theta d theta. 230 00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:49,240 These divide out, and I get negative 1 231 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,330 over cosine theta, which is just equal to negative secant theta. 232 00:09:53,330 --> 00:09:54,320 OK? 233 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,727 So I have negative secant theta. 234 00:09:55,727 --> 00:09:57,060 Let me actually write that here. 235 00:09:57,060 --> 00:10:00,940 Negative integral of secant theta d theta. 236 00:10:00,940 --> 00:10:02,200 And now what is that? 237 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,820 Well, we know how to integrate secant. 238 00:10:05,820 --> 00:10:09,180 So let me write that in terms of theta. 239 00:10:09,180 --> 00:10:13,990 It's going to be negative natural log absolute value 240 00:10:13,990 --> 00:10:17,670 secant theta plus tangent theta. 241 00:10:17,670 --> 00:10:19,800 And then we have the plus c out here. 242 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,990 What's the point of this? 243 00:10:21,990 --> 00:10:23,740 Well, we should maybe have this memorized. 244 00:10:23,740 --> 00:10:25,823 If you have to look it up, you have to look it up, 245 00:10:25,823 --> 00:10:27,080 but you saw this one in class. 246 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,150 And the negative is just dropping down here, 247 00:10:29,150 --> 00:10:31,040 so don't think I added that negative in when 248 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,360 I was taking antiderivative. 249 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,571 It was already there. 250 00:10:33,571 --> 00:10:34,070 All right. 251 00:10:34,070 --> 00:10:34,930 So we're done. 252 00:10:34,930 --> 00:10:36,130 Oh, but we're not done. 253 00:10:36,130 --> 00:10:37,940 Why are we not done? 254 00:10:37,940 --> 00:10:40,392 We're not done, because we started off with something 255 00:10:40,392 --> 00:10:42,850 in terms of x, and now we have something in terms of theta, 256 00:10:42,850 --> 00:10:44,330 so we have to finish up. 257 00:10:44,330 --> 00:10:45,770 And how we do that, is we go back, 258 00:10:45,770 --> 00:10:47,520 we look at the substitution we made. 259 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,280 If we make a triangle based on that substitution, 260 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,320 we figure out the values of secant theta and tangent theta, 261 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,834 and then we can plug those in terms of x. 262 00:10:55,834 --> 00:10:57,375 So let's remind ourselves-- I'm going 263 00:10:57,375 --> 00:10:59,060 to draw the triangle in the middle here. 264 00:10:59,060 --> 00:11:01,630 Let's remind ourselves of the relationship 265 00:11:01,630 --> 00:11:05,100 we had between theta and x. 266 00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:10,270 If this is theta, we said cosine theta, right here, 267 00:11:10,270 --> 00:11:12,870 cosine theta was equal to x plus 1. 268 00:11:12,870 --> 00:11:16,300 Cosine theta is adjacent over hypotenuse. 269 00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:20,500 So we want to say, this is x plus 1, and this is 1. 270 00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:22,880 And that implies by the Pythagorean theorem, 271 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,180 that this is square root of 1 minus quantity x plus 1 272 00:11:26,180 --> 00:11:27,856 squared. 273 00:11:27,856 --> 00:11:29,790 Let me move that over. 274 00:11:29,790 --> 00:11:31,790 Notice, then, this also makes sense, 275 00:11:31,790 --> 00:11:33,300 why sine theta is what it is. 276 00:11:33,300 --> 00:11:36,000 Sine theta is this value divided by 1. 277 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,601 So that also helps you understand that. 278 00:11:38,601 --> 00:11:39,100 All right. 279 00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:40,558 So now what do we need to read off? 280 00:11:40,558 --> 00:11:43,390 We need to read off secant, and we need to read off tangent. 281 00:11:43,390 --> 00:11:45,790 So secant is 1 over cosine, so actually, we 282 00:11:45,790 --> 00:11:48,640 could have gotten that one for free, from the cosine. 283 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,730 So this 1 over cosine is 1 over x plus 1. 284 00:11:52,730 --> 00:11:56,240 So this thing is equal to negative natural log 285 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:01,474 absolute value 1 over x plus 1 plus-- now, what's tangent? 286 00:12:01,474 --> 00:12:03,140 If I come back and look at the triangle, 287 00:12:03,140 --> 00:12:06,910 tangent theta is opposite over adjacent. 288 00:12:06,910 --> 00:12:07,460 Right? 289 00:12:07,460 --> 00:12:11,380 So I can actually just put it all over x plus 1 if I wanted. 290 00:12:11,380 --> 00:12:13,310 But I already started writing it separately, 291 00:12:13,310 --> 00:12:15,090 so I'll leave it like this. 292 00:12:15,090 --> 00:12:20,380 Square root of 1 minus x plus 1 quantity squared. 293 00:12:20,380 --> 00:12:23,910 And then close that, and then my plus c. 294 00:12:23,910 --> 00:12:26,520 So now I'm actually finished with the problem. 295 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:31,220 Because now I have an antiderivative in terms of x. 296 00:12:31,220 --> 00:12:33,910 So let me just remind you where this problem, where we started 297 00:12:33,910 --> 00:12:36,100 the problem, kind of take us through quickly, 298 00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:37,340 and then we'll be done. 299 00:12:37,340 --> 00:12:39,750 So back to the beginning, what we had, 300 00:12:39,750 --> 00:12:45,109 was we had an integral that was a fractional problem, 301 00:12:45,109 --> 00:12:46,650 but we had an x plus 1 here, and then 302 00:12:46,650 --> 00:12:49,850 we had this really messy-looking quadratic in here. 303 00:12:49,850 --> 00:12:52,480 To make it easy to deal with, I factored out a negative sign, 304 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,880 and then I saw I could complete the square. 305 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,270 Once you complete the square, you actually 306 00:12:57,270 --> 00:12:59,450 get another x plus 1 in there, which 307 00:12:59,450 --> 00:13:03,080 helps us to see immediately, it should be a trig substitution. 308 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,030 So the substitution that's natural to make, 309 00:13:05,030 --> 00:13:07,740 because you have a 1 minus something involving an x, 310 00:13:07,740 --> 00:13:09,980 is going to be either cosine or sine. 311 00:13:09,980 --> 00:13:11,724 I chose cosine. 312 00:13:11,724 --> 00:13:13,140 If you'd chosen sine, you probably 313 00:13:13,140 --> 00:13:15,270 would have gotten a cosecant up there, 314 00:13:15,270 --> 00:13:18,804 instead of a secant, when you were taking an antiderivative 315 00:13:18,804 --> 00:13:19,470 at the very end. 316 00:13:19,470 --> 00:13:22,280 So you would have gotten the same answer because 317 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,440 of the substitutions in the end. 318 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,370 But so I chose cosine theta is equal to x plus 1. 319 00:13:28,370 --> 00:13:29,820 You do that, you can replace this 320 00:13:29,820 --> 00:13:33,630 with cosine, this with a sine, this becomes a negative sine, 321 00:13:33,630 --> 00:13:35,450 and then you start simplifying. 322 00:13:35,450 --> 00:13:37,790 So once we came over here and simplified, 323 00:13:37,790 --> 00:13:39,720 we got it into something we recognize. 324 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,140 We got it into secant. 325 00:13:41,140 --> 00:13:44,780 We know the antiderivative for secant, 326 00:13:44,780 --> 00:13:46,110 in terms of secant and tangent. 327 00:13:46,110 --> 00:13:47,730 We know it's exactly this. 328 00:13:47,730 --> 00:13:50,730 And then we went back to the relationship we had. 329 00:13:50,730 --> 00:13:53,470 We made ourselves a triangle in terms 330 00:13:53,470 --> 00:13:55,130 of the theta and the x-values. 331 00:13:55,130 --> 00:13:57,130 And then we were able to substitute in 332 00:13:57,130 --> 00:13:59,300 for secant and tangent. 333 00:13:59,300 --> 00:14:00,040 All right. 334 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,140 So hopefully that was successful for you. 335 00:14:02,140 --> 00:14:04,145 And that's where I'll stop.
