Techniques of
Integration
1. For each of the indefinite integrals below, decide whether the integral can be evaluated using u-substitution
(write U-SUB), integration by parts (write BY PARTS), a combination of the two (write COMBO), or
neither (write NEITHER). For integrals for which your answer is affirmative, state the substitution(s) you
would use. It is not necessary to evaluate the integrals.

2. The following are examples of integrals that have converted to a simpler form using substitution or integration
by parts, along with the substitution used (in the case of substitution), or one of the two substitutions used
(in the case of integration by parts).
Write an indefinite integral that is equal to the given one, by working through the substitutions backward. (it may help to check your conjecture by actually calculating the integral you find, although you only
need to write down your integral for credit.)

3. As you saw in the last homework assignment, streaming video has made lectures from major universities
readily available and free. But this trend isn’t limited to large universities; Patrick Jones of Austin Community College created PatrickJMT, at http://patrickjmt.com/ by himself. Go to this website and
scroll down to the Calculus section. All the topics we will cover this quarter (and more) have video lectures
for you to reference.
One topic that we will only talk about briefly in class in Week 4 is Integration by Partial Fractions. Find the
video Integration by Partial Fractions: Determining Coefficients on PatrickJMT and watch the the first
10 minutes (just the first example). There is also a BRIEF explanation on pages 391-392 in your textbook.
(a) Calculate the following definite integral using the video’s first technique of finding the partial
fraction numerators A and B. (show ALL work and SIMPLIFY your solution)

You’re now done with Homework 3. The following is a list of problems that would be good to study for your
first midterm at the end of April. Do not turn them in, but please ask questions about any that are troubling.
