integral from e to 3 of 1/(16-x^2)

\int_{e}^{3} \frac{1}{16 - x ^{2}} d x

\frac{ln ( 7 ) - ln ( \frac{e}{4} + 1 ) + ln ( - \frac{e}{4} + 1 )}{8}

Decimal

0.03615 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{e}^{3} \frac{1}{16 - x ^{2}} d x

Apply Integral Substitution

= \int_{\frac{e}{4}}^{\frac{3}{4}} \frac{1}{4 ( - u ^{2} + 1 )} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int_{\frac{e}{4}}^{\frac{3}{4}} \frac{1}{- u ^{2} + 1} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{- u ^{2} + 1} d u = \frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}

= \frac{1}{4} [\frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}]_{\frac{e}{4}}^{\frac{3}{4}}

Simplify

\frac{1}{4} [\frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}]_{\frac{e}{4}}^{\frac{3}{4}} : \frac{1}{4} [\frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣ - ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}]_{\frac{e}{4}}^{\frac{3}{4}}

= \frac{1}{4} [\frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣ - ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}]_{\frac{e}{4}}^{\frac{3}{4}}

Compute the boundaries:

\frac{ln ( \frac{7}{4} ) + 2 ln ( 2 ) - ln ( \frac{e}{4} + 1 ) + ln ( - \frac{e}{4} + 1 )}{2}

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{ln ( \frac{7}{4} ) + 2 ln ( 2 ) - ln ( \frac{e}{4} + 1 ) + ln ( - \frac{e}{4} + 1 )}{2}

Simplify

= \frac{ln ( 7 ) - ln ( \frac{e}{4} + 1 ) + ln ( - \frac{e}{4} + 1 )}{8}
