Problems & worked solutions

Problem #0122 International

Problem 1 — Antiderivatives

∫5 dx equals:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 0
  2. B. 5
  3. C. 5x+C✓ correct
  4. D. x25+C

∫c dx=cx+C. So ∫5 dx=5x+C.

Problem 2 — Antiderivatives

∫ex dx equals:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. ex+1+C
  2. B. xex+C
  3. C. ex+C✓ correct
  4. D. ln⁡x+C

The exponential is its own antiderivative: ∫ex dx=ex+C.

Problem #0121 International

∫x3 dx equals:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 3x2+C
  2. B. x43+C
  3. C. x44+C✓ correct
  4. D. 4x4+C

∫x3 dx=x44+C.

Problem #0001 International

Problem 4 — Definite Integrals

Evaluate ∫0π/2sin⁡3(x)cos⁡(x) dx.

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 18
  2. B. 14✓ correct
  3. C. 38
  4. D. 12

Let u=sin⁡x, du=cos⁡x dx. The integral becomes ∫01u3 du=[u44]01=14.

Problem #0124 International

Problem 5 — Antiderivatives

∫1x dx (for x>0) equals:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 1x2+C
  2. B. −1x2+C
  3. C. ln⁡x+C✓ correct
  4. D. x00+C

∫dxx=ln⁡∣x∣+C. For x>0: ln⁡x+C.

Problem #0126 International

Problem 6 — Antiderivatives

∫xex dx equals:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. x22ex+C
  2. B. ex+C
  3. C. (x−1)ex+C✓ correct
  4. D. xex+C

∫xex dx=xex−∫ex dx=xex−ex+C=(x−1)ex+C.

Problem #0128 International

Problem 7 — Antiderivatives

∫1x2+1 dx equals:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. ln⁡(x2+1)+C
  2. B. 2xx2+1+C
  3. C. arctan⁡x+C✓ correct
  4. D. arcsin⁡x+C

A standard antiderivative: ∫dx1+x2=arctan⁡x+C.

Problem #0127 International

Problem 8 — Antiderivatives

∫2x⋅cos⁡(x2) dx equals:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. sin⁡(2x)+C
  2. B. 2sin⁡(x2)+C
  3. C. sin⁡(x2)+C✓ correct
  4. D. cos⁡(x2)+C

u=x2⇒du=2x dx. So ∫cos⁡u du=sin⁡u+C=sin⁡(x2)+C.

Problem #0125 International

Problem 9 — Antiderivatives

∫cos⁡x dx equals:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. −cos⁡x+C
  2. B. −sin⁡x+C
  3. C. sin⁡x+C✓ correct
  4. D. tan⁡x+C

∫cos⁡x dx=sin⁡x+C.

Problem #0014 International

Problem 10 — Integration by Parts

Compute ∫01xex dx.

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 0
  2. B. 1✓ correct
  3. C. e−1
  4. D. e+1

∫xex dx=xex−∫ex dx=(x−1)ex+C. Evaluating from 0 to 1: (0)⋅e−(−1)⋅1=0−(−1)=1.
