ahh yeh. i was completely unaware of the change of base formula. so u use that wen integrating logarithm functions of a base other than e?
Correct. The logarithm to the base e is the only logarithm who's derivative is and whose integral is . For all other bases you must change base to e.

Simple, use a trigonometric substitution (ie let x=sin^2(theta))

sin^(-1)[x^(1/2)]-[x(1-x)]^(1/2)+C

It's the most boring subject ever. I hate it with a passion, and like you I chose it because I thought it would be pretty maths based - I was wrong. There is a bit of maths in it but it's by no means hard, just annoying.



Not that hard but it's just the one that was in front of me.

for the first one i used the substitution and ended up wif an even more complex integrand, where i had to use the binomial theorem, the first way seemz really tedious
