1. Evaluate the integrals:
Z 4 Z t
dx dx
(a) √ = lim √ and use power rule.
0 4−x t→4 0 4−x
Z t
dx
Z t
−du
Z t √ h √i
lim √ = lim √ = lim − udu = lim −2 t = −4
t→4 0 4−x t→4 0 u t→4 0 t→4
Z 2 Z 2
2dx 2dx h x i2
(b) = lim = lim arctan = 3π/4.
−∞ x2 + 4 t→−∞ t x2 + 4 t→−∞ 2 t

(c) dv = lim dv and expend the integrand into partial fractions.
2 v2 − v t→∞ 2 v2 − v
