Section 7.3 : Trig Substitutions

For problems 1 – 15 use a trig substitution to eliminate the root.

  1. \(\sqrt {64{t^2} + 1} \)
  2. \(\sqrt {4{z^2} - 49} \)
  3. \(\sqrt {7 - {w^2}} \)
  4. \({\left( {16 - 81{x^2}} \right)^{\frac{7}{2}}}\)
  5. \(\sqrt {6 + 9{y^2}} \)
  6. \({\left( {1 - 8{z^2}} \right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\)
  7. \(\sqrt {9 - 16{{\left( {3x - 1} \right)}^2}} \)
  8. \({\left( {11 + {{\left( {{t^2} + 1} \right)}^2}} \right)^{\frac{5}{2}}}\)
  9. \(\sqrt {144{{\left( {z + 8} \right)}^2} - 3} \)
  10. \(\sqrt {4{x^2} - 24x + 43} \)
  11. \({\left( {2{z^2} - 24z + 36} \right)^{\frac{{11}}{2}}}\)
  12. \(\sqrt { - 4 - 10t - 5{t^2}} \)
  13. \(\sqrt {9{{\sin }^2}\left( {4t} \right) - 1} \)
  14. \(\sqrt {36 - 9{{\bf{e}}^{3z}}} \)
  15. \(\sqrt {x + 16} \)

For problems 16 – 32 use a trig substitution to evaluate the given integral.

  1. \( \displaystyle \int{{3{x^5}\sqrt {16 - {x^2}} \,dx}}\)
  2. \( \displaystyle \int{{{t^3}{{\left( {25 + 81{t^2}} \right)}^{\frac{5}{2}}}\,dt}}\)
  3. \( \displaystyle \int_{0}^{{\frac{1}{4}}}{{\frac{{{w^3}}}{{\sqrt {1 - 9{w^2}} }}\,dw}}\)
  4. \( \displaystyle \int{{\frac{{{z^5}}}{{{{\left( {9{z^2} - 25} \right)}^{\frac{3}{2}}}}}\,dz}}\)
  5. \( \displaystyle \int_{{ - 3}}^{{ - 1}}{{{y^3}\sqrt {49{y^2} - 4} \,dy}}\)
  6. \( \displaystyle \int_{1}^{5}{{\frac{5}{{{x^2}\sqrt {{x^2} + 4} }}\,dx}}\)
  7. \( \displaystyle \int{{\frac{{\sqrt {3 - 4{t^2}} }}{{{t^2}}}\,dt}}\)

  10. \( \displaystyle \int{{\frac{2}{{{{\left( {x - 3} \right)}^6}\sqrt { - {x^2} + 6x - 5} }}\,dx}}\)
  11. \( \displaystyle \int{{\frac{1}{{{{\left( {z + 1} \right)}^2}{{\left( {2{z^2} + 4z - 34} \right)}^{\frac{3}{2}}}}}\,dz}}\)
  12. \( \displaystyle \int{{\frac{{\sqrt {4{y^2} - 16y + 19} }}{{{{\left( {y - 2} \right)}^6}}}\,dy}}\)
  13. \( \displaystyle \int_{9}^{{12}}{{\frac{{{{\left( {t - 4} \right)}^3}}}{{\sqrt {{t^2} - 8t + 7} }}\,dt}}\)
