Integration Techniques and Substitution

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate indefinite integrals involving powers of sine and cosine functions. It outlines a strategy based on whether the power of sine or cosine is odd or even. The tutorial demonstrates using substitution, specifically letting u equal cosine x, to simplify the integration process. It also covers rewriting the integral using trigonometric identities and applying the power rule to find the antiderivative. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the steps and the final antiderivative expression.

What is the main strategy when dealing with an integrand that contains powers of sine and cosine?

• Apply the Laplace transform.

• Convert all functions to tangent.

• Identify the trigonometric function with the odd power.

• Use partial fraction decomposition.

When the sine function has an odd power, what is the first step in the substitution method?

• Save one factor of cosine.

• Differentiate the sine function.

• Convert all sine factors to tangent.

• Save one factor of sine and convert the rest to cosines.

In the substitution method, what is the expression for differential u when u equals cosine x?

• negative sine x dx

• sine x dx

• cosine x dx

• u dx

How is sine squared x expressed in terms of cosine x during the rewriting of the integral?

• 2 cosine squared x

• 1 + cosine squared x

• 1 - cosine squared x

• cosine squared x - 1

What substitution is made for cosine to the sixth x in terms of u?

• 1 - u squared

• u to the eighth

• u to the sixth

• u squared

What is the next step after expressing the integral in terms of u?

• Differentiate with respect to x.

• Integrate using the power rule.

• Convert back to sine and cosine.

• Apply the chain rule.

What is the result of integrating u to the seventh divided by seven?

• u to the sixth divided by six

• u to the ninth divided by nine

• u to the seventh divided by seven

• u to the eighth divided by eight

What is the final expression for the antiderivative in terms of x?

• 1/9 cosine to the ninth x - 1/7 cosine to the seventh x + c

• 1/9 sine to the ninth x - 1/7 sine to the seventh x + c

• 1/7 sine to the seventh x + 1/9 sine to the ninth x + c

• 1/7 cosine to the seventh x + 1/9 cosine to the ninth x + c

What is the purpose of factoring out the negative sign during the integration process?

• To simplify the expression for easier integration.

• To eliminate the sine function.

• To change the variable of integration.

• To convert the integral into a definite integral.

What is the constant of integration added at the end of the antiderivative?

• b

• c

• d
