  1. Hi. For #1 do you suggest using IBP or u-sub? -Claire Westerlund

    1. I used IBP because it was similar to the problem on Integration by Parts worksheet #1 problem 7.

  2. I am a little confused on how to do part c of problem 1. Can anyone explain how they did that one?

    1. I simplified the integral using ibp to find when the integral equaled 4100.

  3. What's the difference between question 1a and 1b? Aren't they both asking for the antiderivative? Is the difference that we actually solve for a?

    1. On problem 1, a calculator is allowed, therefore problem 1b is not needed to solve 1a.

  4. When you are integrating and you have the equation that you have to keep integrating (like if the two parts were sinx and e^x), can you manipulate the expression by pulling out the constant so that you end up with the original equation or do you have to get the exact same thing when you integrate and go straight to 2a=(b+c)? I mean could the 2 be a 5, for instance? Or something like that....I don't know if I'm making a whole lot of sense, but any help would be appreciated ��

  5. I'd stick to integrating as little as possible and using 2a=b+c. I'm pretty sure you can just change the 2 to a 5. In our notes, we had a=b+c-a, which then simplified to 2a=b+c, so that's where the 2 came from. The two isn't just a random number you can switch out.
