Evaluate the indefinite integral of the fraction 1/(16x^2+24x+9)?

We recognize that the denominator of the fraction is a
perfect square:


16x^2+24x+9 =
(4x+3)^2


We'll re-write the
integral:


Int f(x)dx = Int
dx/(4x+3)^2


We'll change the
variable.


We'll substitute 4x+3 by
t.


4x+3 = t


We'll
differentiate both sides:


(4x+3)'dx =
dt


So, 4dx = dt


dx =
dt/4


We'll re-write the integral in the variable
t:


Int dx/(4x+3)^2= Int
dt/4t^2


Int dt/4t^2 = Int
[t^(-2)/4]*dt


Int [t^(-2)/4]*dt = t^(-2+1)/4*(-2+1) + C =
t^(-1)/-4 + C = -1/4t + C


But t =
4x+3


Int dx/(4x+3)^2 = -1/4(4x+3) +
C

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
