Evaluate the following integrals

a. (24 ln 2 − 7) / 9

b. x tan x + ln|cos x| + C

Step-by-step explanation:

a. ∫₁² x² ln x dx

Integrate by parts.

If u = ln x, then du = 1/x dx.

If dv = x² dx, then v = ⅓ x³.

∫ u dv = uv − ∫ v du

= (ln x) (⅓ x³) − ∫ (⅓ x³) (1/x dx)

= ⅓ x³ ln x − ∫ ⅓ x² dx

= ⅓ x³ ln x − ¹/₉ x³ + C

= ¹/₉ x³ (3 ln x − 1) + C

Evaluate between x=1 and x=2.

[¹/₉ 2³ (3 ln 2 − 1) + C] − [¹/₉ 1³ (3 ln 1 − 1) + C]

⁸/₉ (3 ln 2 − 1) + C + ¹/₉ − C

⁸/₉ (3 ln 2 − 1) + ¹/₉

⁸/₃ ln 2 − ⁸/₉ + ¹/₉

⁸/₃ ln 2 − ⁷/₉

(24 ln 2 − 7) / 9

b. ∫ x sec² x dx

Integrate by parts.

If u = x, then du = dx.

If dv = sec² x dx, then v = tan x.

∫ u dv = uv − ∫ v du

= x tan x − ∫ tan x dx

= x tan x + ∫ -sin x / cos x dx

= x tan x + ln|cos x| + C
