The integral of 5*(sin(6x)/sin(3x))dx
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not quite sure what to do with this one. I moved 5 to the left of the integral, but then I'm lost. Apparently I'm rusty on these trig identities.
Could anyone help me get started? Thank you.

What is the connection between the Indefinite integral and the Fundalmental theorem of calculus (1st part)?
The Attempt at a Solution
They are the same to me but the FT is more formal.
I've been wondering how all those indefinite integrals in a comprehensive table were figured out. Can they all be done with one (or some combination) of the standard methods, (substitution, parts etc.)? Or did somebody just poke around until they figured them out? For example, how do you find...
Hi,
I need help evaluating the following integral by integration by parts: \int(a^2-x^2)^n\,dx. Specifically I am supposed to prove the following formula: \int(a^2-x^2)^n\,dx=\frac{x(a^2-x^2)^n}{2n+1}+\frac{2a^2n}{2n+1}\int(a^2-x^2)^{n-1}\,dx+C Any hints would be appreciated.

i have a small (i think) question:
a value of zero is a definite value, right? it's easily quantifiable. you either have it or you don't. and a value of 1 is also definite.
however, a value of infinity is not definite. it's an indefinite value.
now, the question is... do quantifiable...

I need to integrate this indefinite integral: 1/(x-6)^2 dx
Here is my work...
Let u= x-6

Have I gone wrong? And if so where? Thanks
I have:
int (1/(sqrt -x^2 -2x))dx

So now I have:
int (1/(sqrt 1-t^2)) dt
Here I get stuck, can anyone please help?

Hello all
If you have the funtions: y = x^2, y = sin x, y = 2x^4 and you are asked to set up the corresponding integrations, would it be:
\int^b_a 2u du = x^3
\int^b_a -\cos u du = \sin x
\int^b_a 8u^3 du = 2x^4
Thanks
