If we use the substitution u = \tan x, then du = \sec^2 {x}\ dx. If you try substituting just u and du into the integrand, though, you'll notice that there's a \sec^2x left over that we have to deal with.

To get rid of this problem, use the identity \tan^2 x + 1 = \sec^2 x and substitute in the left side of the identity for the extra \sec^2x, as shown:

\int\limits^{\pi/6}_0 {tan^2 x \ sec^4 x} \, dx
\int\limits^{\pi/6}_0 {tan^2 x \ (tan^2 x + 1) \ sec^2 x} \, dx

From there, we can substitute in u and du, and then evaluate:

\int\limits^{\pi/6}_0 {tan^2 x \ (tan^2 x + 1) \ sec^2 x} \, dx
\int\limits^{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}_0 {u^2(u^2 + 1)} \, du
\int\limits^{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}_0 {u^4 + u^2} \, du
= \left.\frac{u^5}{5} + \frac{u^3}{3}\right|_0^\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}
= (\frac{(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})^5}{5} + \frac{(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})^3}{3}) - (\frac{(0)^5}{5} + \frac{(0)^3}{3})
= \frac{1}{45\sqrt{3}} + \frac{1}{9\sqrt{3}} = \frac{6}{45\sqrt{3}} = \bf \frac{2}{15\sqrt{3}}

Write two different equations to describe each situation. a) You buy 3 identical shirts and 2 identical pairs of socks and spend
Ronch [10]

Answer:

3x + 2y = 38,  3a + 2b = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation may be defined as a statement that shows two mathematical expressions to be equal. It is to equate one thing to another thing.

In the context, two different equations for the situations are :

i). Let the shirt be represented by x

   And the socks be represented by y

Therefore, according to the question,

   3x + 2y = 38

ii). Let the shirt be represented by a

   And the socks be represented by b

Therefore, according to the question,

   3a + 2b = 38

A blouse that regularly sells for $28.50 is on sale for one-third off. what is the sale price of the dress?
egoroff_w [7]
You have to multiply the original price by 1/3 and then multiplying it by 2:
y=1/3x(2)
y=1/3(28.5)(2)
y=9.50(2)
y=19
$19.5
This is 2/3 of the original price (1/3 off).
Hope I helped...
