Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

28−(3x+4)=2(x+6)+x

We need to use the distributive property for the right side.

28−3x−4=(2)(x)+(2)(6)+x)

28−3x−4=2x+2+x

−3x+24=3x+12

From here we need to subtract 3x from both side.

−3x+24−3x=3x+12−3x

6x+24=12

Transfer +24 on the right side.

6x=12−24

6x=−12

Finally, divide both sides by −6

6x/-6 = -12/-6

x=2

How do you integrate arctan(x dx? i think that if you simplify the integral you get:?

Integration by parts will help here. Letting $u=\arctan x$ and $\mathrm dv=\mathrm dx$ , you end up with $\mathrm du=\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{1+x^2}$ and $v=x$ . Now

$\displaystyle\int\arctan x\,\mathrm dx=uv-\int v\,\mathrm du$
$\displaystyle\int\arctan x\,\mathrm dx=x\arctan x-\int\frac x{1+x^2}\,\mathrm dx$

For the remaining integral, setting $y=1+x^2$ gives $\dfrac{\mathrm dy}2=x\,\mathrm dx$ , so

$\displaystyle\int\frac x{1+x^2}\,\mathrm dx=\frac12\int\frac{\mathrm dy}y=\frac12\ln|y|+C=\frac12\ln(1+x^2)+C$

Putting everything together, you end up with

$\displaystyle\int\arctan x\,\mathrm dx=x\arctan x-\frac12\ln(1+x^2)+C$
