for n substitute n-2, and divide by (n−1)a2; dx dx dx n√ = x" (a2 — x2)} ; Finally, when n is even, the formula is applicable, and we have ; = 2 x"− 1 ( a + bx + cx2) 1 — 2 (n − 1) f x"−2 (a + bx + cx2)3 dx Substituting which in (99), and adding and reducing, x dx (a + bx + cx2) 1 = = x+3 (2−2x+x2) 1 + = √_d(x−1) {(x-1)2+1}+ 3 x dx + 2 √ (2−2 x + x2) 12 dx ; (2−2x+x2)1 = log {x−1+(2−2x+x2)1}. x + 3 (2 − 2 x + x2) 3 + {} log {x−1+(2−2x+x2)1 }. which does not admit of integration in finite terms, but may be 62.] The preceding are the integrals of the simpler exponential functions; other combinations however often admit of reduction to algebraic forms by means of substitution, and thereby of integration by the methods of the last Chapter; of these some examples are subjoined. |
