Example 1: 

If ∫ xex cos x dx = f(x) dx + c, then f(x) is equal to

∫ xe(1 + i)x / 1+i – ∫ e(1+i)x / 1 + i dx = xe(1+i)x / 1+ i – e(1+i)x / (1+i)2

e(1 + i)x[x(1 + i –1 / (1+i)2)]

ex (cos x + i sin x) [(x–1) + ix / 1 + i – 1]

ex/–2 [icos x – sin x][(x – 1) + ix]

I = ex/2 [(1 – x) sin x – x cos x] + c.

Example 2: Let x2 +1 ≠ nπ, n ∈ N, then

(a) ln |1/2 sec (x2 + 1) | + c

(b) ln | sec { ½ (x2 + 1) | + c

(c) 1/2 ln | sec (x2 + 1) | + c

(d) ln | sec (x2 + 1) | + c

Solution:  Let

I = 
Put x2 + 1= t

x dx = ½ dt

Then I = ½ ∫ √ (2 sin t – sin 2t)/(2 sin t + sin 2t) dt

           = ½ ∫ √ (1 - cos t)/(1 + cos t) dt

           = ½ ∫ tan (t/2) dt

           = ½ .2. ln | sec (t/2)| + c

           = ln | sec {(x2+1)/2} + c

           = ln | sec {1/2 (x2 + 1)} + c

Example 3: Let f(x) be a function such that f(0) = f’(0) = 0, f”(x)  = sec4x + 4, then the function is 
(a) ln |(sin x)| + 1/3 tan3x + x

(b) 2/3 ln |(sec x)| + 1/6 tan2x + 2x2

(c) ln |cos x| + 1/6 cos2x – x2/5

(d) none of these

Solution: Since f”(x)  = sec4x + 4
So, f”(x)  = (1 + tan2x) sec2x + 4

Therefore, f’(x) = tan x + tan3x/3 + 4x + c

Since, f’(0) = 0

So, 0 = c

Then, f’(x) = tan x + + tan3x/3 + 4x

                  = tan x + 1/3 tan x (sec2x – 1) + 4x

f’(x) = 2/3 tan x + 1/3 tan x sec2x + 4x

So, f(x) = 2/3 ln | sec x| + tan2 x/6 + 2x2 + d

But, f(0) = 0

So, d = 0

Then, f(x) = 2/3 ln | sec x | + 1/6 tan 2x + 2x2.

Example 4: ∫ x-2/3 (1 + x1/2)-5/3 dx is equal to

(a) 3(1 + x-1/2)-1/3 + c

(b) 3(1 + x-1/2)-2/3 + c

(c) 3(1 + x1/2)-2/3 + c

(a) none of these

(a) A + B = -19/36
