Avg difficulty 2.5

Evaluate each of the following indefinite integrals. Check each antiderivative that you find by differentiating.

  1. ∫te−t dt\displaystyle \int te^{-t} \, dt

  2. ∫4xsin⁡(3x) dx\displaystyle \int 4x \sin(3x) \, dx

  3. ∫zsec⁡2(z) dz\displaystyle \int z \sec^2(z) \,dz

    Note: after applying integration by parts, we need to evaluate ∫tan⁡(z) dz\int \tan(z) \, dz. To do so, recall that tan⁡(z)=sin⁡(z)cos⁡(z)\tan(z) = \frac{\sin(z)}{\cos(z)} and think about a uu-substitution that leads to an antiderivative for tan⁡(z)\tan(z).

  4. ∫xln⁡(x) dx\displaystyle \int x \ln(x) \, dx
