Math 106a Solutions
Quiz 1
9/17/
Evaluate both integrals using substitution.
ex
1 + e^2 x^
dx
Rewrite the integrand as follows:
ex
1 + (ex)^2
dx
Let u = ex, then du = exdx.
Therefore,
ex 1 + e^2 x^
dx =
exdx 1 + (ex)^2
du 1 + u^2
= arctan u + C = arctan(ex) + C.
0
2 x
1 + x^2 dx
Let u = 1 + x^2 , then du = 2x dx.
Note, if x = 0 then u = 1 + 0^2 = 1. Likewise, if x =
3, then u = 1 + (
3)^2 = 4. This gives us our new limits of integration.
Therefore,
0
