Solution and Explanation

\(Let \ x^3 = t\)

\(⇒ 3x^2 dx = dt\)

\(∴ ∫\frac {x^2}{\sqrt {x^6+a^6}} dx = \frac 13 ∫\frac {dt}{\sqrt {t^2+(a^3)^2}}\)

\(=\frac 13\ log\ |t+\sqrt {t^2+a^6}|+C\)

\(=\frac 13\ log\ |x^3+\sqrt {x^6+a^6}|+C\)

Integrals of Some Particular Functions

There are many important integration formulas which are applied to integrate many other standard integrals. In this article, we will take a look at the integrals of these particular functions and see how they are used in several other standard integrals.

Integrals of Some Particular Functions:

  • ∫1/(x2 – a2) dx = (1/2a) log|(x – a)/(x + a)| + C
  • ∫1/(a2 – x2) dx = (1/2a) log|(a + x)/(a – x)| + C
  • ∫1/(x2 + a2) dx = (1/a) tan-1(x/a) + C
  • ∫1/√(x2 – a2) dx = log|x + √(x2 – a2)| + C
  • ∫1/√(a2 – x2) dx = sin-1(x/a) + C
  • ∫1/√(x2 + a2) dx = log|x + √(x2 + a2)| + C

These are tabulated below along with the meaning of each part.
