Hii, may I ask where/what year this question is from? Cause for Qns 4 I am able to integrate the front and back integrals but the middle integral requires a certain formula or method (that I didn't learn during my JC years) to get 22/7 - π

This is actually his assignment for Introductory Mathematics MA1301, one of the math modules in NUS designed to bring students up to par with A level standard of Math proficiency . He posted the same question some time earlier

The middle integral uses long division (see my working in the comments under your posted solution)

For (f)...not sure whether this is correct/the most efficient method since it's been a long time since I've done integration

Slight error in the simultaneous equation solving

① - ② :

A + 3C - (A - C) = -2 - 2

4C = -4

C = - 1

Then A = C + 2
= -1 + 2
= 1

Final expression :

ln(x + 1) - 1/(x + 1) - ln(x - 1) - 1/(x - 1)

= ln((x+1)/(x - 1)) - (x + 1 + x - 1)/(x + 1)(x-1))

= ln[(x+1)/(x-1)] - 2x/(x² - 1) + constant

This is all I can offer for Q4 huhu, my brain can't integrate the middle to get 22/7 - π

Wow much effort..salute!

Actually can use binomial theorem to expand :

∫ x⁴(1 - x)⁴ dx

= ∫ ( x⁴ (1⁴ + 4C1(1³(-x)) + 4C2(1²(-x)²) + 4C3(1(-x)³ + x⁴) ) dx

= ∫ (x⁴ (1 - 4x + 6x² - 4x³ + x⁴) ) dx

= ∫ ( x⁴ - 4x^5 + 6x^6 - 4x^7 + x^8) dx

= 1/5 x^5 - ⅔x^6 + 6/7 x^7 - ½ x^8 + 1/9 x^9 + c

Haha thank u. Usually avoid binomial theorem for expansion cause of the probability of making error on my part~

Middle integral is done using long division :

∫¹ ,0 x⁴(1-x)⁴ / (1 + x²) dx

= ∫¹ ,0 (x⁴ - 4x^5 + 6x^6 - 4x^7 + x^8)/(1 + x²) ) dx

= ∫¹,0 (x^6 - 4x^5 + 5x⁴ - 4x² + 4 - 4/(x² + 1) ) dx

= [ 1/7 x^7 - ⅔x^6 + x^5 - 4/3 x³ + 4x - 4tan-¹ x ]¹,0

= (1/7 - ⅔ + 1 - 4/3 + 4 - 4(π/4) )

= 22/7 - π

= 3 1/7 - π
