Q1MEDIUMCOREu-substitution: indefinite and definite换元法:不定积分与定积分[8 marks]

Evaluate: (a) $\int x^{2}\sin(x^{3}+1)\,dx$; (b) $\int_{0}^{1}\frac{2x}{(x^{2}+1)^{3}}\,dx$; (c) $\int_{1}^{e^{2}}\frac{(\ln x)^{2}}{x}\,dx$.计算:(a) $\int x^{2}\sin(x^{3}+1)\,dx$;(b) $\int_{0}^{1}\frac{2x}{(x^{2}+1)^{3}}\,dx$;(c) $\int_{1}^{e^{2}}\frac{(\ln x)^{2}}{x}\,dx$。

Answers:答案:  (a) $-\tfrac{1}{3}\cos(x^{3}+1)+C$  ·  (b) $\tfrac{3}{8}$  ·  (c) $\tfrac{8}{3}$

(a) Identify the composition and its inner derivative(a) 识别复合结构及内层导数 M1·A1

The integrand is of the form $f'(g(x))\cdot g'(x)$ with $g(x)=x^{3}+1$. (M1) Set $u=x^{3}+1$, so $du=3x^{2}\,dx$ and $x^{2}\,dx=\tfrac{du}{3}$:被积函数具有 $f'(g(x))\cdot g'(x)$ 的形式,其中 $g(x)=x^{3}+1$。(M1) 令 $u=x^{3}+1$,则 $du=3x^{2}\,dx$,$x^{2}\,dx=\tfrac{du}{3}$:

$$ \int x^{2}\sin(x^{3}+1)\,dx = \int \sin u\cdot\frac{du}{3} = -\frac{1}{3}\cos u+C = -\frac{1}{3}\cos(x^{3}+1)+C. $$

Verification: differentiating gives $-\tfrac{1}{3}\cdot(-\sin(x^{3}+1))\cdot 3x^{2}=x^{2}\sin(x^{3}+1)$. (A1)验证:求导得 $-\tfrac{1}{3}\cdot(-\sin(x^{3}+1))\cdot 3x^{2}=x^{2}\sin(x^{3}+1)$。(A1)

(b) Change the limits when substituting into a definite integral(b) 定积分换元时须更换积分限 M1·A1·A1

Set $u=x^{2}+1$, $du=2x\,dx$. (M1) Limits: $x=0\Rightarrow u=1$; $x=1\Rightarrow u=2$. (A1)令 $u=x^{2}+1$,$du=2x\,dx$。(M1) 积分限:$x=0\Rightarrow u=1$;$x=1\Rightarrow u=2$。(A1)

$$ \int_{0}^{1}\frac{2x}{(x^{2}+1)^{3}}\,dx = \int_{1}^{2}u^{-3}\,du = \left[-\frac{1}{2u^{2}}\right]_{1}^{2} = -\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{8}. $$

(A1)

(c) Logarithm as the inner function(c) 以对数函数为内层函数 M1·A1·A1

Set $u=\ln x$, $du=\tfrac{dx}{x}$. (M1) Limits: $x=1\Rightarrow u=0$; $x=e^{2}\Rightarrow u=2$. (A1)令 $u=\ln x$,$du=\tfrac{dx}{x}$。(M1) 积分限:$x=1\Rightarrow u=0$;$x=e^{2}\Rightarrow u=2$。(A1)

$$ \int_{1}^{e^{2}}\frac{(\ln x)^{2}}{x}\,dx = \int_{0}^{2}u^{2}\,du = \left[\frac{u^{3}}{3}\right]_{0}^{2} = \frac{8}{3}. $$

(A1)

Insight.点拨。 Substitution works when the integrand contains a function and (up to a constant multiple) its own derivative. In (a) $3x^{2}$ is the derivative of $x^{3}+1$; in (b) $2x$ is the derivative of $x^{2}+1$; in (c) $1/x$ is the derivative of $\ln x$. The moment you change the variable in a definite integral, change the limits immediately so you never need to back-substitute at the end.换元法适用于被积函数中含有某函数及其导数(可差一常数倍)的情形。(a) 中 $3x^{2}$ 是 $x^{3}+1$ 的导数;(b) 中 $2x$ 是 $x^{2}+1$ 的导数;(c) 中 $1/x$ 是 $\ln x$ 的导数。对定积分换元时,应立即更换积分限,从而无需在最后反代。
Q2MEDIUMCOREintegration by parts: single application and LIATE分部积分法:单次应用与 LIATE 规则[6 marks]

Evaluate using integration by parts once: (a) $\int x\,e^{2x}\,dx$; (b) $\int\ln x\,dx$.各使用一次分部积分法计算:(a) $\int x\,e^{2x}\,dx$;(b) $\int\ln x\,dx$。

Answers:答案:  (a) $\tfrac{e^{2x}}{4}(2x-1)+C$  ·  (b) $x\ln x - x + C$

(a) Polynomial times exponential: LIATE gives $u=x$(a) 多项式乘以指数函数:LIATE 给出 $u=x$ M1·A1·A1

By LIATE, the algebraic factor $x$ is differentiated and the exponential is integrated: $u=x$, $dv=e^{2x}\,dx$, so $du=dx$ and $v=\tfrac{1}{2}e^{2x}$. (M1)按 LIATE,代数因子 $x$ 求导,指数函数积分:$u=x$,$dv=e^{2x}\,dx$,则 $du=dx$,$v=\tfrac{1}{2}e^{2x}$。(M1)

$$ \int x\,e^{2x}\,dx = \frac{x}{2}e^{2x} - \int\frac{1}{2}e^{2x}\,dx = \frac{x}{2}e^{2x} - \frac{1}{4}e^{2x}+C = \frac{e^{2x}}{4}(2x-1)+C. $$

(A1) Verification: $\tfrac{d}{dx}\!\left[\tfrac{e^{2x}}{4}(2x-1)\right]=\tfrac{2e^{2x}}{4}(2x-1)+\tfrac{e^{2x}}{4}\cdot 2=\tfrac{e^{2x}}{2}(2x-1)+\tfrac{e^{2x}}{2}=xe^{2x}$. (A1)(A1) 验证:$\tfrac{d}{dx}\!\left[\tfrac{e^{2x}}{4}(2x-1)\right]=\tfrac{2e^{2x}}{4}(2x-1)+\tfrac{e^{2x}}{4}\cdot 2=\tfrac{e^{2x}}{2}(2x-1)+\tfrac{e^{2x}}{2}=xe^{2x}$。(A1)

(b) Logarithm alone: use $dv=dx$(b) 单独对数函数:取 $dv=dx$ M1·A1·A1

There is no second factor, so write $\int\ln x\cdot 1\,dx$. LIATE gives $u=\ln x$, $dv=dx$, so $du=\tfrac{1}{x}\,dx$ and $v=x$. (M1)没有第二个因子,将其写成 $\int\ln x\cdot 1\,dx$。LIATE 给出 $u=\ln x$,$dv=dx$,则 $du=\tfrac{1}{x}\,dx$,$v=x$。(M1)

$$ \int\ln x\,dx = x\ln x - \int x\cdot\frac{1}{x}\,dx = x\ln x - \int 1\,dx = x\ln x - x + C. $$

(A1) Verification: $\ln x + 1 - 1 = \ln x$. (A1)(A1) 验证:$\ln x + 1 - 1 = \ln x$。(A1)

Insight.点拨。 LIATE (Logarithmic, Inverse trig, Algebraic, Trigonometric, Exponential) gives the priority order for which factor becomes $u$. The higher in the list, the more you want it as $u$ because it simplifies upon differentiation. The $\int\ln x\,dx$ trick of inserting an invisible factor of $1$ to play the role of $dv$ is the standard move whenever a lone logarithm or inverse-trig function appears.LIATE(对数、反三角、代数、三角、指数)给出了选取 $u$ 的优先顺序:排列越靠前,越应作为 $u$,因为求导后会化简。对 $\int\ln x\,dx$ 插入隐含因子 $1$ 充当 $dv$ 的技巧,是遇到孤立对数或反三角函数时的标准处理方式。
Q3HARDCORErepeated integration by parts and tabular method多次分部积分与列表法[8 marks]

Evaluate $I=\int x^{3}e^{x}\,dx$ by (a) applying IBP three times; (b) constructing the tabular table and confirming.计算 $I=\int x^{3}e^{x}\,dx$:(a) 连续使用三次分部积分法;(b) 构造列表并验证。

Answers:答案:  (a) and (b) $e^{x}(x^{3}-3x^{2}+6x-6)+C$

(a) Three applications of IBP(a) 三次分部积分 M1·A1·M1·A1·M1

Step 1.第 1 步。 $u=x^{3}$, $dv=e^{x}\,dx$, $du=3x^{2}\,dx$, $v=e^{x}$. (M1)

$$ I = x^{3}e^{x} - 3\int x^{2}e^{x}\,dx. $$

Step 2.第 2 步。 Apply IBP to $\int x^{2}e^{x}\,dx$:对 $\int x^{2}e^{x}\,dx$ 进行分部积分: $u=x^{2}$, $dv=e^{x}\,dx$, $du=2x\,dx$, $v=e^{x}$. (M1)

$$ \int x^{2}e^{x}\,dx = x^{2}e^{x}-2\int xe^{x}\,dx. $$

Step 3.第 3 步。 Apply IBP to $\int xe^{x}\,dx$:对 $\int xe^{x}\,dx$ 进行分部积分: $u=x$, $dv=e^{x}\,dx$, $du=dx$, $v=e^{x}$. (M1)

$$ \int xe^{x}\,dx = xe^{x}-e^{x}. $$

Assembling from the innermost out: (A1)从最内层向外组合:(A1)

$$ I = x^{3}e^{x} - 3\!\left[x^{2}e^{x}-2(xe^{x}-e^{x})\right] = x^{3}e^{x}-3x^{2}e^{x}+6xe^{x}-6e^{x}+C = e^{x}(x^{3}-3x^{2}+6x-6)+C. $$

Verification: $\tfrac{d}{dx}[e^{x}(x^{3}-3x^{2}+6x-6)]=e^{x}(x^{3}-3x^{2}+6x-6)+e^{x}(3x^{2}-6x+6)=e^{x}\cdot x^{3}$. (A1)验证:$\tfrac{d}{dx}[e^{x}(x^{3}-3x^{2}+6x-6)]=e^{x}(x^{3}-3x^{2}+6x-6)+e^{x}(3x^{2}-6x+6)=e^{x}\cdot x^{3}$。(A1)

(b) Tabular method(b) 列表法 M1·A1·A1

Draw two columns: differentiate $x^{3}$ successively on the left, integrate $e^{x}$ successively on the right, alternating signs $+,-,+,-,+$. (M1)画两列:左列对 $x^{3}$ 逐次求导,右列对 $e^{x}$ 逐次积分,符号交替取 $+,-,+,-,+$。(M1)

Sign符号Differentiate ($u$-column)求导列($u$ 列)Integrate ($dv$-column)积分列($dv$ 列)
$+$$x^{3}$$e^{x}$
$-$$3x^{2}$$e^{x}$
$+$$6x$$e^{x}$
$-$$6$$e^{x}$
$+$$0$$e^{x}$

Multiply diagonally (each left entry times the entry one row down on the right), applying the sign: (A1)沿对角线相乘(左列每项乘以右列下一行对应项),并施加相应符号:(A1)

$$ I = (+1)\cdot x^{3}e^{x} + (-1)\cdot 3x^{2}e^{x} + (+1)\cdot 6xe^{x} + (-1)\cdot 6e^{x} + C = e^{x}(x^{3}-3x^{2}+6x-6)+C. $$

This matches part (a). (A1)与 (a) 的结果一致。(A1)

Insight.点拨。 The tabular method is not a different formula; it is a bookkeeping device that executes exactly the same sequence of IBP steps without re-stating $u$ and $dv$ each time. The process terminates when the left column reaches zero. The alternating signs reflect the alternating sign pattern that naturally arises when IBP is iterated. For any integral of the form (polynomial)$\times$(exponential or trig), the table is the fastest route.列表法并非不同的公式,而是一种记账工具,执行完全相同的分部积分步骤,无需每次重新声明 $u$ 与 $dv$。左列降为零时过程终止。交替符号反映了多次迭代分部积分时自然产生的符号交替规律。对于(多项式)乘以(指数函数或三角函数)形式的积分,列表法是最快的方法。
Q4HARDCOREcyclic integral: the return trick循环积分:回归技巧[6 marks]

Let $I=\int e^{x}\sin x\,dx$. (a) Apply IBP twice, keeping $e^x$ as the $dv$ factor each time, and show $I$ reappears on the right. (b) Hence solve for $I$.设 $I=\int e^{x}\sin x\,dx$。(a) 进行两次分部积分,每次均以 $e^x$ 为 $dv$ 因子,证明 $I$ 重新出现在等式右侧。(b) 由此解出 $I$。

Answers:答案:  (a) two IBP steps produce $I = e^{x}\sin x - e^{x}\cos x - I$两次分部积分后得 $I = e^{x}\sin x - e^{x}\cos x - I$  ·  (b) $I = \tfrac{e^{x}(\sin x - \cos x)}{2}+C$

(a) First application of IBP(a) 第一次分部积分 M1·A1

Choose $u=\sin x$, $dv=e^{x}\,dx$, so $du=\cos x\,dx$, $v=e^{x}$. (M1)取 $u=\sin x$,$dv=e^{x}\,dx$,则 $du=\cos x\,dx$,$v=e^{x}$。(M1)

$$ I = e^{x}\sin x - \int e^{x}\cos x\,dx. $$

(A1)

(a) Second application of IBP(a) 第二次分部积分 M1·A1

Apply IBP to $\int e^{x}\cos x\,dx$, again keeping $e^{x}$ in the $dv$ role: $u=\cos x$, $dv=e^{x}\,dx$, so $du=-\sin x\,dx$, $v=e^{x}$. (M1)对 $\int e^{x}\cos x\,dx$ 进行分部积分,仍以 $e^{x}$ 担任 $dv$:$u=\cos x$,$dv=e^{x}\,dx$,则 $du=-\sin x\,dx$,$v=e^{x}$。(M1)

$$ \int e^{x}\cos x\,dx = e^{x}\cos x - \int e^{x}(-\sin x)\,dx = e^{x}\cos x + \int e^{x}\sin x\,dx = e^{x}\cos x + I. $$

Substituting back: $I = e^{x}\sin x - (e^{x}\cos x + I) = e^{x}\sin x - e^{x}\cos x - I$. (A1) The integral $I$ has returned on the right-hand side.代回得:$I = e^{x}\sin x - (e^{x}\cos x + I) = e^{x}\sin x - e^{x}\cos x - I$。(A1) 积分 $I$ 重新出现在等式右侧。

(b) Solve the equation for $I$(b) 解方程求 $I$ M1·A1

Rearrange: $I + I = e^{x}\sin x - e^{x}\cos x$, so (M1)整理:$I + I = e^{x}\sin x - e^{x}\cos x$,从而 (M1)

$$ 2I = e^{x}(\sin x - \cos x), \qquad I = \frac{e^{x}(\sin x - \cos x)}{2}+C. $$

(A1) Verification: $\tfrac{d}{dx}\!\left[\tfrac{e^{x}(\sin x-\cos x)}{2}\right]=\tfrac{e^{x}(\sin x-\cos x)+e^{x}(\cos x+\sin x)}{2}=\tfrac{2e^{x}\sin x}{2}=e^{x}\sin x$.(A1) 验证:$\tfrac{d}{dx}\!\left[\tfrac{e^{x}(\sin x-\cos x)}{2}\right]=\tfrac{e^{x}(\sin x-\cos x)+e^{x}(\cos x+\sin x)}{2}=\tfrac{2e^{x}\sin x}{2}=e^{x}\sin x$。

Insight.点拨。 This "cyclic" technique works whenever two IBP steps reproduce the original integral. The critical discipline is consistency: if you switch which factor is $u$ between the two steps, you un-do the first step and end up with $0=0$. The resolution is always algebraic: collect $I$ terms and divide. The same trick solves $\int e^{x}\cos x\,dx$ and, with a sign flip, $\int e^{ax}\sin bx\,dx$ for any constants $a,b$.此"循环"技巧适用于两次分部积分后原积分重新出现的情形。关键在于保持一致性:若两步中 $u$ 的选取不同,会抵消第一步的结果,导致 $0=0$。解决方式始终是代数处理:合并含 $I$ 的项后除以系数。同样的技巧可用于求 $\int e^{x}\cos x\,dx$,以及对任意常数 $a,b$ 的 $\int e^{ax}\sin bx\,dx$(符号略有变化)。

Q5HARDPROOFderiving the IBP formula; reduction formula for $\int x^n e^x\,dx$推导分部积分公式;$\int x^n e^x\,dx$ 的递推公式[10 marks]

(a) Derive $\int u\,dv=uv-\int v\,du$ from the product rule. (b) Derive $I_{n}=x^{n}e^{x}-nI_{n-1}$. (c) Evaluate $I_{3}$ using the reduction formula with $I_{0}=e^{x}+C$.(a) 从乘积法则推导 $\int u\,dv=uv-\int v\,du$。(b) 推导 $I_{n}=x^{n}e^{x}-nI_{n-1}$。(c) 利用递推公式及 $I_{0}=e^{x}+C$ 计算 $I_{3}$。

Answers:答案:  (a) IBP follows directly from integrating $(uv)'$分部积分公式直接由对 $(uv)'$ 积分得出  ·  (b) $I_{n}=x^{n}e^{x}-nI_{n-1}$  ·  (c) $e^{x}(x^{3}-3x^{2}+6x-6)+C$

(a) Deriving IBP from the product rule(a) 从乘积法则推导分部积分公式 M1·A1·R1

Let $u=u(x)$ and $v=v(x)$ be differentiable. The product rule states $(uv)'=u'v+uv'$. (M1) Integrate both sides with respect to $x$:设 $u=u(x)$ 与 $v=v(x)$ 均可微。乘积法则给出 $(uv)'=u'v+uv'$。(M1) 对两边关于 $x$ 积分:

$$ uv = \int u'v\,dx + \int uv'\,dx. $$

Rearranging: $\int uv'\,dx = uv - \int u'v\,dx$. Writing $dv=v'(x)\,dx$ and $du=u'(x)\,dx$ gives the IBP formula (A1)整理得:$\int uv'\,dx = uv - \int u'v\,dx$。记 $dv=v'(x)\,dx$,$du=u'(x)\,dx$,即得分部积分公式 (A1)

$$ \int u\,dv = uv - \int v\,du. $$

The formula is valid whenever $u$ and $v$ are differentiable and the integrals exist. (R1)只要 $u$ 与 $v$ 可微且积分存在,该公式即成立。(R1)

(b) Reduction formula for $I_{n}$(b) $I_{n}$ 的递推公式 M1·A1·A1·A1

Let $I_{n}=\int x^{n}e^{x}\,dx$. Set $u=x^{n}$, $dv=e^{x}\,dx$, so $du=nx^{n-1}\,dx$ and $v=e^{x}$. (M1) Applying the IBP formula:设 $I_{n}=\int x^{n}e^{x}\,dx$。令 $u=x^{n}$,$dv=e^{x}\,dx$,则 $du=nx^{n-1}\,dx$,$v=e^{x}$。(M1) 应用分部积分公式:

$$ I_{n} = x^{n}e^{x} - \int e^{x}\cdot nx^{n-1}\,dx. $$

(A1) The remaining integral is $n\int x^{n-1}e^{x}\,dx = nI_{n-1}$. (A1) Therefore(A1) 余下的积分为 $n\int x^{n-1}e^{x}\,dx = nI_{n-1}$。(A1) 因此

$$ I_{n} = x^{n}e^{x} - n\,I_{n-1}. \qquad \text{(A1)} $$

(c) Apply the reduction formula for $n=3$(c) 对 $n=3$ 应用递推公式 M1·A1·A1

Start from $I_{0}=e^{x}+C$. (M1)从 $I_{0}=e^{x}+C$ 出发。(M1)

$$ I_{1} = xe^{x}-1\cdot I_{0} = xe^{x}-e^{x}+C = e^{x}(x-1)+C. $$ $$ I_{2} = x^{2}e^{x}-2I_{1} = x^{2}e^{x}-2e^{x}(x-1)+C = e^{x}(x^{2}-2x+2)+C. \quad\text{(A1)} $$ $$ I_{3} = x^{3}e^{x}-3I_{2} = x^{3}e^{x}-3e^{x}(x^{2}-2x+2)+C = e^{x}(x^{3}-3x^{2}+6x-6)+C. \quad\text{(A1)} $$

This matches the direct calculation in Q3.此结果与 Q3 的直接计算一致。

Insight.点拨。 Integration by parts is simply the anti-differentiated product rule, so its proof is one line. The power of reduction formulas is that they encode the IBP step as a recurrence, letting you evaluate $I_{n}$ for large $n$ without re-doing the algebra at each level. The general result is $I_{n}=e^{x}\sum_{k=0}^{n}(-1)^{n-k}\frac{n!}{k!}x^{k}$, which you can derive by unrolling the recurrence.分部积分法本质上是乘积法则的反微分,因此其推导只需一行。递推公式的强大之处在于将分部积分步骤编码为递推关系,使你无需在每一层重复代数运算即可计算较大 $n$ 的 $I_{n}$。一般结果为 $I_{n}=e^{x}\sum_{k=0}^{n}(-1)^{n-k}\frac{n!}{k!}x^{k}$,可通过展开递推关系得到。
Q6HARDPROOFWallis-type reduction formula for $\int \sin^n x\,dx$$\int \sin^n x\,dx$ 的 Wallis 型递推公式[10 marks]

Answers:答案:  (a) $I_{n}=\tfrac{n-1}{n}I_{n-2}$ (proved below)(如下证明)  ·  (b) $I_{1}=1$  ·  (c) $I_{5}=\tfrac{8}{15}$

(a) Deriving the Wallis reduction formula(a) 推导 Wallis 递推公式 M1·M1·A1·A1·A1·A1

Write $\sin^{n}x=\sin^{n-1}x\cdot\sin x$ and apply IBP: set $u=\sin^{n-1}x$, $dv=\sin x\,dx$. Then $du=(n-1)\sin^{n-2}x\cos x\,dx$ and $v=-\cos x$. (M1)将 $\sin^{n}x$ 写成 $\sin^{n-1}x\cdot\sin x$,进行分部积分:令 $u=\sin^{n-1}x$,$dv=\sin x\,dx$,则 $du=(n-1)\sin^{n-2}x\cos x\,dx$,$v=-\cos x$。(M1)

$$ I_{n} = \left[-\cos x\sin^{n-1}x\right]_{0}^{\pi/2} + (n-1)\int_{0}^{\pi/2}\cos^{2}x\sin^{n-2}x\,dx. $$

(M1) Evaluate the boundary term: at $x=\tfrac{\pi}{2}$, $\cos(\tfrac{\pi}{2})=0$; at $x=0$, $\sin^{n-1}(0)=0$ for $n\ge 2$. Both endpoints contribute zero, so the boundary term vanishes. (A1)(M1) 计算边界项:在 $x=\tfrac{\pi}{2}$ 处,$\cos(\tfrac{\pi}{2})=0$;在 $x=0$ 处,当 $n\ge 2$ 时 $\sin^{n-1}(0)=0$。两端点均为零,边界项消失。(A1)

Use the Pythagorean identity $\cos^{2}x=1-\sin^{2}x$: (A1)利用勾股恒等式 $\cos^{2}x=1-\sin^{2}x$:(A1)

$$ I_{n} = (n-1)\int_{0}^{\pi/2}(1-\sin^{2}x)\sin^{n-2}x\,dx = (n-1)\!\left[I_{n-2}-I_{n}\right]. $$

Expand the right side and collect $I_{n}$ terms: (A1)展开右侧并合并含 $I_{n}$ 的项:(A1)

$$ I_{n} + (n-1)I_{n} = (n-1)I_{n-2} \implies n\,I_{n} = (n-1)I_{n-2}. $$ $$ \boxed{I_{n} = \frac{n-1}{n}\,I_{n-2}.} \qquad\text{(A1)} $$

(b) Base case $I_{1}$(b) 初始情形 $I_{1}$ B1

$$ I_{1} = \int_{0}^{\pi/2}\sin x\,dx = \left[-\cos x\right]_{0}^{\pi/2} = 0-(-1) = 1. $$

(c) Apply the recursion to reach $I_{5}$(c) 应用递推求 $I_{5}$ M1·A1·A1

Step down from $n=5$ using odd-index base $I_{1}=1$. (M1)从 $n=5$ 向下递推,利用奇数指标的初始值 $I_{1}=1$。(M1)

$$ I_{3} = \frac{2}{3}I_{1} = \frac{2}{3}. \qquad\text{(A1)} $$ $$ I_{5} = \frac{4}{5}I_{3} = \frac{4}{5}\cdot\frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{15}. \qquad\text{(A1)} $$
Insight.点拨。 The key move in the derivation is the IBP that peels off one factor of $\sin x$, followed by the Pythagorean replacement $\cos^{2}x=1-\sin^{2}x$, which re-introduces the very integral $I_{n}$ that allows the algebraic resolution. The Wallis product $\tfrac{\pi}{2}=\tfrac{2}{1}\cdot\tfrac{2}{3}\cdot\tfrac{4}{3}\cdot\tfrac{4}{5}\cdots$ follows from comparing $I_{2k}$ and $I_{2k+1}$ as $k\to\infty$ via the squeeze theorem.推导的关键步骤是:先通过分部积分剥离一个 $\sin x$ 因子,再利用勾股恒等式 $\cos^{2}x=1-\sin^{2}x$ 重新引入积分 $I_{n}$,从而实现代数求解。Wallis 乘积 $\tfrac{\pi}{2}=\tfrac{2}{1}\cdot\tfrac{2}{3}\cdot\tfrac{4}{3}\cdot\tfrac{4}{5}\cdots$ 可通过夹逼定理比较 $k\to\infty$ 时的 $I_{2k}$ 与 $I_{2k+1}$ 得到。

(a) IBP with the logarithm as $u$(a) 以对数函数为 $u$ 的分部积分 M1·A1·A1·A1

LIATE places $\ln x$ above any power, so set $u=\ln x$, $dv=x^{n}\,dx$. Then $du=\tfrac{1}{x}\,dx$ and $v=\tfrac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}$. (M1)LIATE 中对数函数优先于幂函数,故令 $u=\ln x$,$dv=x^{n}\,dx$,则 $du=\tfrac{1}{x}\,dx$,$v=\tfrac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}$。(M1)

$$ J_{n} = \frac{x^{n+1}\ln x}{n+1} - \int\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}\cdot\frac{1}{x}\,dx = \frac{x^{n+1}\ln x}{n+1} - \frac{1}{n+1}\int x^{n}\,dx. $$

Differentiate term by term using the product rule on $x^{n+1}\ln x$: (M1)逐项求导,对 $x^{n+1}\ln x$ 使用乘积法则:(M1)

$$ \frac{d}{dx}\left[\frac{x^{n+1}\ln x}{n+1}-\frac{x^{n+1}}{(n+1)^{2}}\right] = \frac{(n+1)x^{n}\ln x + x^{n}}{n+1} - \frac{(n+1)x^{n}}{(n+1)^{2}} = x^{n}\ln x + \frac{x^{n}}{n+1} - \frac{x^{n}}{n+1} = x^{n}\ln x. $$

(A1) The two extra terms cancel exactly, confirming the antiderivative.(A1) 两个多余项恰好抵消,从而确认原函数正确。

Insight.点拨。 Antidifferentiation is far harder to check by eye than differentiation, so differentiate to verify whenever the algebra is non-trivial. The cancellation in (b) is not accidental: it always happens when IBP is applied correctly, because the construction guarantees the derivative of the output equals the integrand. Checking this is good practice and earns marks in exam settings.不定积分比微分更难目测验证,因此只要代数过程不平凡,都应通过求导来验证。(b) 中的抵消并非偶然:只要分部积分应用正确,构造本身保证输出的导数等于被积函数。进行此类验证是良好习惯,在考试中也可获得额外分数。

Q8HARDAPPLIEDdefinite integral requiring substitution then integration by parts先换元后分部积分的定积分[8 marks]

Evaluate $\int_{0}^{1}x^{3}\sqrt{x^{2}+1}\,dx$ by letting $u=x^{2}+1$, then expanding and integrating.令 $u=x^{2}+1$,展开后积分,计算 $\int_{0}^{1}x^{3}\sqrt{x^{2}+1}\,dx$。

Answers:答案:  (a) transforms to $\tfrac{1}{2}\int_{1}^{2}(u-1)\sqrt{u}\,du$变形为 $\tfrac{1}{2}\int_{1}^{2}(u-1)\sqrt{u}\,du$  ·  (b) and (c) $\dfrac{2(\sqrt{2}+1)}{15}$

(a) Transform via $u=x^{2}+1$(a) 令 $u=x^{2}+1$ 变换积分 M1·A1·A1

Let $u=x^{2}+1$. Then $du=2x\,dx$, so $x\,dx=\tfrac{du}{2}$, and also $x^{2}=u-1$. (M1) New limits: $x=0\Rightarrow u=1$; $x=1\Rightarrow u=2$. (A1)令 $u=x^{2}+1$,则 $du=2x\,dx$,$x\,dx=\tfrac{du}{2}$,且 $x^{2}=u-1$。(M1) 新积分限:$x=0\Rightarrow u=1$;$x=1\Rightarrow u=2$。(A1)

Write $x^{3}\,dx=x^{2}\cdot(x\,dx)=(u-1)\tfrac{du}{2}$ and $\sqrt{x^{2}+1}=\sqrt{u}$:将 $x^{3}\,dx=x^{2}\cdot(x\,dx)=(u-1)\tfrac{du}{2}$,$\sqrt{x^{2}+1}=\sqrt{u}$:

$$ \int_{0}^{1}x^{3}\sqrt{x^{2}+1}\,dx = \int_{1}^{2}(u-1)\sqrt{u}\cdot\frac{du}{2} = \frac{1}{2}\int_{1}^{2}(u-1)\sqrt{u}\,du. \qquad\text{(A1)} $$

(b) Expand and integrate term by term(b) 展开后逐项积分 M1·A1·A1

$(u-1)\sqrt{u}=u^{3/2}-u^{1/2}$. (M1)$(u-1)\sqrt{u}=u^{3/2}-u^{1/2}$。(M1)

$$ \frac{1}{2}\int_{1}^{2}\!\left(u^{3/2}-u^{1/2}\right)du = \frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{2u^{5/2}}{5}-\frac{2u^{3/2}}{3}\right]_{1}^{2}. $$

At $u=2$: $u^{5/2}=4\sqrt{2}$ and $u^{3/2}=2\sqrt{2}$. (A1)在 $u=2$ 处:$u^{5/2}=4\sqrt{2}$,$u^{3/2}=2\sqrt{2}$。(A1)

At $u=1$: $u^{5/2}=1$ and $u^{3/2}=1$. Evaluate:在 $u=1$ 处:$u^{5/2}=1$,$u^{3/2}=1$。计算:

$$ = \frac{1}{2}\!\left[\left(\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{5}-\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3}\right)-\left(\frac{2}{5}-\frac{2}{3}\right)\right]. $$

Combine over a common denominator of 15: (A1)通分,公分母为 15:(A1)

$$ \frac{8\sqrt{2}}{5}-\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3}=\sqrt{2}\left(\frac{24-20}{15}\right)=\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{15}; \qquad \frac{2}{5}-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{6-10}{15}=-\frac{4}{15}. $$

(c) Exact value(c) 精确值 A1·A1

$$ \frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{15}-\left(-\frac{4}{15}\right)\right] = \frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{4\sqrt{2}+4}{15} = \frac{2(\sqrt{2}+1)}{15}. $$

(A1) No further simplification is possible, so the exact answer is $\dfrac{2(\sqrt{2}+1)}{15}$. (A1)(A1) 无法进一步化简,精确答案为 $\dfrac{2(\sqrt{2}+1)}{15}$。(A1)

Insight.点拨。 The integrand $x^{3}\sqrt{x^{2}+1}$ looks like it might need IBP, but the substitution $u=x^{2}+1$ transforms it into a product of power functions, which are integrable directly. The check that this substitution works is that $x^{3}\,dx$ can be written as a power of $u$ times $du$, using both $x^{2}=u-1$ and $x\,dx=du/2$. This "split the odd power" strategy is standard for $\int x^{2k+1}f(x^{2}+a)\,dx$.被积函数 $x^{3}\sqrt{x^{2}+1}$ 看似需要分部积分,但换元 $u=x^{2}+1$ 将其转化为幂函数之积,可直接积分。判断此换元是否可行的依据是:利用 $x^{2}=u-1$ 与 $x\,dx=du/2$,可将 $x^{3}\,dx$ 写成 $u$ 的幂次与 $du$ 的乘积。这种"分离奇次幂"的策略是处理 $\int x^{2k+1}f(x^{2}+a)\,dx$ 的标准方法。
Q9HARDAPPLIEDarea under a curve via integration by parts利用分部积分法求曲线下面积[10 marks]

$f(x)=x\ln x$ on $[1,e]$. (a) Find $f'(x)$ and monotonicity. (b) Evaluate $\int_{1}^{e}x\ln x\,dx$. (c) Find the exact area of the region bounded by $y=x\ln x$, the $x$-axis, and $x=1$, $x=e$.$f(x)=x\ln x$ 定义在 $[1,e]$ 上。(a) 求 $f'(x)$ 及单调性。(b) 计算 $\int_{1}^{e}x\ln x\,dx$。(c) 求由 $y=x\ln x$、$x$ 轴及直线 $x=1$、$x=e$ 围成区域的精确面积。

Answers:答案:  (a) $f'(x)=\ln x+1>0$ on $(1,e)$, so $f$ is increasing在 $(1,e)$ 上成立,故 $f$ 单调递增  ·  (b) $\tfrac{e^{2}+1}{4}$  ·  (c) Area面积 $=\tfrac{e^{2}+1}{4}$

(a) Derivative and monotonicity(a) 导数与单调性 M1·A1

By the product rule, $f'(x)=\ln x + x\cdot\tfrac{1}{x}=\ln x+1$. (M1) For $x\in(1,e)$, $\ln x>0$, so $f'(x)>1>0$: $f$ is strictly increasing on $(1,e)$. (A1)由乘积法则,$f'(x)=\ln x + x\cdot\tfrac{1}{x}=\ln x+1$。(M1) 对 $x\in(1,e)$,$\ln x>0$,故 $f'(x)>1>0$:$f$ 在 $(1,e)$ 上严格单调递增。(A1)

(b) Definite integral by IBP(b) 利用分部积分法求定积分 M1·A1·M1·A1·A1

Set $u=\ln x$, $dv=x\,dx$, so $du=\tfrac{1}{x}\,dx$ and $v=\tfrac{x^{2}}{2}$. (M1)令 $u=\ln x$,$dv=x\,dx$,则 $du=\tfrac{1}{x}\,dx$,$v=\tfrac{x^{2}}{2}$。(M1)

$$ \int_{1}^{e}x\ln x\,dx = \left[\frac{x^{2}\ln x}{2}\right]_{1}^{e} - \int_{1}^{e}\frac{x^{2}}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{x}\,dx = \left[\frac{x^{2}\ln x}{2}\right]_{1}^{e} - \int_{1}^{e}\frac{x}{2}\,dx. $$

(A1) Evaluate the boundary term: at $x=e$, $\tfrac{e^{2}\ln e}{2}=\tfrac{e^{2}}{2}$; at $x=1$, $\tfrac{1\cdot 0}{2}=0$. (M1) So the boundary term is $\tfrac{e^{2}}{2}$.(A1) 计算边界项:$x=e$ 时,$\tfrac{e^{2}\ln e}{2}=\tfrac{e^{2}}{2}$;$x=1$ 时,$\tfrac{1\cdot 0}{2}=0$。(M1) 故边界项为 $\tfrac{e^{2}}{2}$。

$$ \int_{1}^{e}\frac{x}{2}\,dx = \left[\frac{x^{2}}{4}\right]_{1}^{e} = \frac{e^{2}}{4}-\frac{1}{4} = \frac{e^{2}-1}{4}. \qquad\text{(A1)} $$ $$ \int_{1}^{e}x\ln x\,dx = \frac{e^{2}}{2}-\frac{e^{2}-1}{4} = \frac{2e^{2}}{4}-\frac{e^{2}-1}{4} = \frac{e^{2}+1}{4}. \qquad\text{(A1)} $$

(c) Area of the region(c) 区域面积 M1·A1·A1

On $[1,e]$: $f(1)=1\cdot\ln 1=0$ and $f$ is increasing with $f'(x)>0$, so $f(x)\ge f(1)=0$ throughout $[1,e]$. (M1) The curve lies on or above the $x$-axis, so the area equals the integral without absolute values. (A1)在 $[1,e]$ 上:$f(1)=1\cdot\ln 1=0$,且 $f$ 单调递增,$f'(x)>0$,故在整个 $[1,e]$ 上 $f(x)\ge f(1)=0$。(M1) 曲线在 $x$ 轴上方(或与之重合),面积等于积分值,无需取绝对值。(A1)

$$ \text{Area} = \int_{1}^{e}x\ln x\,dx = \frac{e^{2}+1}{4}. \qquad\text{(A1)} $$
Insight.点拨。 The non-negativity check in (c) is not optional: forgetting to verify that the integrand does not cross zero between the limits is the most common error in area problems. Here $f(1)=0$ and $f$ is increasing, so the region is entirely above the axis. The value $\tfrac{e^{2}+1}{4}\approx2.10$ is a good sanity check: the rectangle $[1,e]\times[0,e]$ has area $e(e-1)\approx4.67$, and the actual region being less than half of that is plausible.(c) 中的非负性验证并非可选步骤:忘记验证被积函数在积分限之间是否穿越零点,是面积题中最常见的错误。此处 $f(1)=0$ 且 $f$ 单调递增,故区域完全在 $x$ 轴上方。$\tfrac{e^{2}+1}{4}\approx2.10$ 是合理的合理性检验:矩形 $[1,e]\times[0,e]$ 的面积为 $e(e-1)\approx4.67$,实际区域不足其一半,符合直觉。
Q10HARDAPPLIEDmethod selection: substitution vs. IBP vs. direct方法选择:换元法、分部积分法与直接法[10 marks]

For each integral, name the method, state the key step, then evaluate: (a) $\int\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}\,dx$; (b) $\int x^{2}\cos x\,dx$; (c) $\int e^{x}\cos x\,dx$.对每个积分,说明方法、关键步骤,然后求值:(a) $\int\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}\,dx$;(b) $\int x^{2}\cos x\,dx$;(c) $\int e^{x}\cos x\,dx$。

Answers:答案:  (a) $-\sqrt{1-x^{2}}+C$  ·  (b) $x^{2}\sin x+2x\cos x-2\sin x+C$  ·  (c) $\tfrac{e^{x}(\cos x+\sin x)}{2}+C$

(a) Substitution: the numerator is (half) the derivative of the radicand(a) 换元法:分子是被开方式导数的(一半) M1·A1

Method: substitution. Key step: $x\,dx$ is proportional to $d(1-x^{2})$. (M1) Set $u=1-x^{2}$, $du=-2x\,dx$, so $x\,dx=-\tfrac{du}{2}$:方法:换元法。关键步骤:$x\,dx$ 与 $d(1-x^{2})$ 成比例。(M1) 令 $u=1-x^{2}$,$du=-2x\,dx$,故 $x\,dx=-\tfrac{du}{2}$:

$$ \int\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}\,dx = \int\frac{-du/2}{\sqrt{u}} = -\int\frac{1}{2}u^{-1/2}\,du = -u^{1/2}+C = -\sqrt{1-x^{2}}+C. $$

(A1) Verification: $\tfrac{d}{dx}[-\sqrt{1-x^{2}}]=\tfrac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}$.(A1) 验证:$\tfrac{d}{dx}[-\sqrt{1-x^{2}}]=\tfrac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}$。

(b) Repeated IBP (or tabular): polynomial times trig(b) 多次分部积分(或列表法):多项式乘以三角函数 M1·A1·M1·A1

Method: tabular IBP. Key step: differentiate $x^{2}$ until it vanishes (two steps); integrate $\cos x$ correspondingly. (M1)方法:列表分部积分法。关键步骤:对 $x^{2}$ 逐次求导直至为零(两步);对 $\cos x$ 逐次积分。(M1)

Diagonal products with alternating signs: (M1)沿对角线相乘并施加交替符号:(M1)

$$ \int x^{2}\cos x\,dx = x^{2}\sin x - 2x(-\cos x) + 2(-\sin x) + C = x^{2}\sin x + 2x\cos x - 2\sin x + C. $$

(A1) Verification: $\tfrac{d}{dx}[x^{2}\sin x+2x\cos x-2\sin x]=2x\sin x+x^{2}\cos x+2\cos x-2x\sin x-2\cos x=x^{2}\cos x$. (A1)(A1) 验证:$\tfrac{d}{dx}[x^{2}\sin x+2x\cos x-2\sin x]=2x\sin x+x^{2}\cos x+2\cos x-2x\sin x-2\cos x=x^{2}\cos x$。(A1)

(c) Cyclic IBP: exponential times trig(c) 循环分部积分:指数函数乘以三角函数 M1·A1·M1·A1

Method: cyclic IBP. Key step: two applications reproduce the original integral. Set $u=\cos x$, $dv=e^{x}\,dx$. (M1)方法:循环分部积分法。关键步骤:两次分部积分后还原原积分。令 $u=\cos x$,$dv=e^{x}\,dx$。(M1)

$$ \int e^{x}\cos x\,dx = e^{x}\cos x + \int e^{x}\sin x\,dx. $$

(A1) Apply IBP to $\int e^{x}\sin x\,dx$ with $u=\sin x$, $dv=e^{x}\,dx$:(A1) 对 $\int e^{x}\sin x\,dx$ 取 $u=\sin x$,$dv=e^{x}\,dx$ 进行分部积分:

$$ \int e^{x}\sin x\,dx = e^{x}\sin x - \int e^{x}\cos x\,dx. $$

(M1) Let $K=\int e^{x}\cos x\,dx$. Substituting back: $K=e^{x}\cos x+e^{x}\sin x-K$, so (A1)(M1) 设 $K=\int e^{x}\cos x\,dx$,代回得:$K=e^{x}\cos x+e^{x}\sin x-K$,从而 (A1)

$$ 2K = e^{x}(\cos x+\sin x), \qquad K = \frac{e^{x}(\cos x+\sin x)}{2}+C. $$

Verification: $\tfrac{d}{dx}\!\left[\tfrac{e^{x}(\cos x+\sin x)}{2}\right]=\tfrac{e^{x}(\cos x+\sin x)+e^{x}(-\sin x+\cos x)}{2}=\tfrac{2e^{x}\cos x}{2}=e^{x}\cos x$.验证:$\tfrac{d}{dx}\!\left[\tfrac{e^{x}(\cos x+\sin x)}{2}\right]=\tfrac{e^{x}(\cos x+\sin x)+e^{x}(-\sin x+\cos x)}{2}=\tfrac{2e^{x}\cos x}{2}=e^{x}\cos x$。

Insight.点拨。 Method selection hinges on recognising the structure: (a) numerator is a constant multiple of the derivative of the radicand, so substitution clears the radical in one step; (b) one factor is a polynomial that eventually differentiates to zero, so tabular IBP terminates; (c) neither factor simplifies to zero and both reproduce themselves under differentiation, so the cyclic technique is the only efficient route. Mistaking (c) for a case that needs substitution is a common trap when the integrand contains $e^x$.方法选择的关键在于识别结构:(a) 分子是被开方式导数的常数倍,换元一步即可消除根号;(b) 一个因子是多项式,最终求导为零,列表分部积分法可终止;(c) 两个因子求导后均不化简为零且均可还原自身,循环技巧是唯一高效方法。将 (c) 误判为需要换元是含 $e^x$ 被积函数时的常见陷阱。
