This is probably the most important Calc II video ever produced. It focuses exclusively on strategy, which is the most important element in all of calculus: Learning strategies (creativity), and recognizing when multiple strategies are valid, and why some might be better. Bravo, Steve! It's similar to your D/I "When to stop" video. Ever since I've stumbled on your channel, I've been re-learning calculus just for fun!

Wholeheartedly agree. After developing a proper understanding of the theory behind integral calculus, students should focus on consolidating their integration techniques. As repetitive as these drills may seem to be, they can save a lot of time in the long run.

For the fifth integral there are two u subs which work nicely 1. u=x+sqrt(1+x^2) 2. u=sqrt(1+x^2)/x Integration by parts also works for this integral

[@marrenroy4896]

This is great, my biggest struggle in calculus 2 has been that intuition you're supposed to have about what integration method to use. It does not come naturally to me, same reason the whole "guess and check" process of factoring quadratics was a nightmare way back in elementary school

[@sergey1519]

If you have a quadratic like x² - 7x + 10 = 0 we know that the two roots r,s satisfy r + s = 7 rs = 10 so what you can do is systematically consider all factors of 10: 1 x 10 = 10 but 1 + 10 ≠ 7 -1 x -10 = 10 but -1 + (-10) ≠ 7 2 x 5 = 10 AND 2 + 5 = 7 if 2, 5 didn't work you would then check all the other pairs of factors. Of course, you might notice that 1+10 = 11 and realize that you don't even need to consider (-1)+(-10), or realize that once you checked 2x5 that's the same as 5x2. In the same way with integration techniques you can systematicaly consider them one after another, just in your head trying to do the first steps, and once you find something that you seem to be able to make progress with, do that.

In the first question, we can rather make a u substitution Lnx= t and x = e^t 1÷x dx = dt So the integral becomes T÷e^2t dt Then we can use integration by parts.

[@blancaroca8786]

You used a t sub not u sub lol. And you end up doing an int by parts which is what the video does anyway. But I think your method is good! Thanks

[@roysupriyo10]

Actually in the first one, 'u' substitution is going to work. We substitute 1/x as u and we integrate to get (dx×-1/x²)=du. Then we take the natural log on both sides of the 1/x=u and get -ln(x)=ln(u). Then we can substitute all the values to get u×ln(u)du as the integrand. Cheers

For the 6th question, Using u = e^sqrt(x) would give a faster answer. For the 10th one, using half angle formula and converting 1+cos(x) as 2cos^2(x/2) makes it very easy to get the solution.

[@sollertia_]

In essence, try thinking about using trig sub: look out for single term square root denominators and 1+x^2 or 1-x^2 IBP: When you can easily differentiate one part and integrate one part PFD: When the denominator is a higher power polynomial or when the denominator can be factorized (pretty much the same thing, but not quite?) u sub: When the derivative of something can cancel out a troublesome part or when you're doing variations of a simple integration question but don't want to be careless (Feels like the most powerful and flexible tool in my elementary calculus toolbox, though, so probably has way more specific uses) I'm not in uni yet or anything so I'm not sure if my insufficient contact with calculus problems has led to some mistake of some sort in the summary above so please let me know if there are better ways or corrections that I would want to know about, thanks~

for the first one you can just multiply and divide the whole thing by -2 x -2 and then shift one of the -2s into the power of x in lnx, after which u sub becomes very easy (u = 1/x^2, du = -2/x^3 dx) then youre left with 1/4 int(lnu du) which simplifies thereon

[@blancaroca8786]

Nice revision! Ex.10 with 1/(1+cos x) use trig formula cos2A = 2(cosA)^2 -1 with x=2A to get rid of the 1 and leave just cos^2(x/2) on bottom.... basically now a sec^2 integral which is standard.

Here's a very powerful method for integrating 1/1+Cosx . Simply use of t=tan(x/2) (btw if sin50x was present use half of the angle i.e t=tan(25x) ) and perform integration by substitution. Extremely powerful you can integrate 1/(sin99x + cos99x) , 1/1+cos100x you name it. Then sinx = 2t/1+t². And cosx=1-t²/1+t².

for 10 task i have another way of solution, you divide cos x into cos^2(x/2) - sin^2(x/2), then 1 into cos^2(x/2) + sin^2(x/2). Then in the denominator will leave 2cos^2(x/2), plug in 2 in dx => d(x/2). Finally you get sec^2(x/2) which of the integral is ..... :)

[@brickmotion6637]

For number 10 I used the power reduction formula in reverse: 1/(1+cosx) = 1/(2*½(1+cos(2*(x/2))) = 1/(2cos²(x/2)) Now set u = x/2, 2*du=dx, so you get the integral of (2*du)/(2*cos²(u)), equals the integral of du/(cos²(u)), which all in all is equal to tan(u)+c, plug in x/2 for u: tan(x/2)+c

[@krishgarg2806]

for 10th one, we can also use 1+cosx = 2cos^2(x/2) which will give sec^2(x/2) which can be easily integrated.

[@binodtharu8348]

Alternate solution to 10th q: use identity cosx=2cos^2(x/2)-1 and hence it would become super easy(1 step solution)

[@marchenwald4666]

I used another technique for the 10th First, observe that cos(x) can be written using Euler's formulas. Now you can use u substitution twice. If u = e^ix, you're left with the inverse of a polynomial, 1/(u²+2u+1). The result of this integration method is (1-e^ix)i/(1+e^ix), which's in fact equal to sin(x)/(1+cos(x)) (The last step needs some clean up using Euler's formulas and a readjustment of the integration constant to get a function that goes from R to R)

[@syedkhan8522]

You can also do it with the substitution t=tan(x/2) . Then cos(x) = (1-t^2)/(1+t^2) and dx = 2dt/1+t^2 . Everything cancels out and its much simpler.

[@marchenwald4666]

@@syedkhan8522 Looks pretty nice this way, indeed!

[@vladislavziyangulov7490]

For the 10th one: you could also say 1+cos(x)=1+[2cos^2(x/2)-1]=2cos^2(x/2). The integrand has a known antiderivative and the integral yields 1/2tan(x/2)+C
