  1. ∫x/(1+4x²) dx =

    Use u-substitution.  Let u = 1 + 4x².  Then du = 8x dx.  Since the integral above has x dx but not 8x dx, multiply the inside by 8 and the outside by 1/8.  Then the integral above becomes

    (1/8)∫(8x dx)/(1+4x²) =

    (1/8)∫du /(u) =

    (1/8)∫du/u =

    (1/8)ln(|u|) + C =

    Replace u with 1 + 4x² from the u-substitution.

    (1/8)ln(|1 + 4x²|) + C =

    Since x² ≥ 0 then 1 + 4x² ≥ 1, which means that |1 + 4x²| = 1 + 4x²

    (1/8)ln(1 + 4x²) + C

    For the second problem,

    ∫x/√(1-x²) dx =

    Use u-substitution with u = 1 - x².  Then du = -2x dx.  Since the integral above has x dx instead of -2x dx multiply the inside by -2 and the outside by -½.  Then the integral above becomes:

    (-½)∫(-2x dx) / √(1-x²) =

    (-½)∫du / √u =

    (-½)∫u^(-½) du =

    (-½)(2u^(½) + C) =

    (-½)(2√u + C) =

    (-½)(2√u) + C =

    -√u + C =

    C - √u =

    Replace u with 1 - x² from the u-substitution.

    C - √(1 - x²)

    Hope this helps you!
