Yes that gives me:
However, what good is that, since there's still a 1 in there? I can't squareroot it to simplify...
You do get 1/2, but I added a 1, therefore 3/2.
How in gods name do I do that? I attempted that integral and... it just can't be integrated!
What I tried:
That doesn't help one bit... How do I do this? NOTE: No graphing calculator is to be used.
LOL haha... See I did that, but stupidly thought the integral of 1 = 1, and when checked against the calculator, it was obviously not correct. haha... Thanks! =P
Got a:
\frac{x^2*(2*ln(2)-1)}{4}+\frac{x^2*ln(x)}{2} + C
Checked on calculator, and was correct. Thank you!
Now for b, that doesn't help me at all... >.>
a.
\int x*ln(2x) dx
b.
\int \frac{x^2}{x^2-4} dx
My Attempt:
a. I have abs. no clue how to start it off. Do you start it off using integration by parts?
b. Same with this. I don't know how to start it off.
