Integral check. Is partial fractions the only way?












2












$begingroup$


I'm getting a different answer from wolfram and I have no idea where. I have to integrate:



$$int_0^1 frac{xdx}{(2x+1)^3}$$



Is partial fractions the only way?



So evaluating the fraction first:



$$frac{x}{(2x+1)^3} = frac{A}{2x+1} + frac{B}{(2x+1)^2} + frac{C}{(2x+1)^3}$$



$$x = A(2x+1)^2 + B(2x+1) + C$$



$$x = A(4x^2 + 4x + 1) + 2Bx + B + C$$



$$x = 4Ax^2 + 4Ax + A + 2Bx + B + C$$



$$x = x^2(4A) + x(4A+2B) + A + B + C$$



$4A = 0$ and $4A+2B = 1$ and $A + B + C = 0$ so $A = 0$ and $B=frac{1}{2}$ and $C = frac{-1}{2}$



Is the partial fraction part right?



So then I get:



$$int_0^1 frac{xdx}{(2x+1)^3} = int_0^1 frac{dx}{(2(2x+1)^2)} - int_0^1 frac{dx}{2(2x+1)^3}$$



for both, using $u = 2x+1$ and $frac{du}{dx} = 2$ and $du = 2dx$ and $frac{du}{2} = dx$,
$$frac{1}{4} int frac{du}{u^2} - frac{1}{4} int frac{du}{u^3}$$



$$ = [frac{1}{4} - u^{-1} - frac{1}{4} cdot frac{1}{-2} u^{-2} ]_1^3$$



I'm going the route of changing the limits to the new u and since $u = 2x+1$, when $x = 0, u = 1$ and when $x = 1, u = 3$. Is this the right path?



finally I get



$$[frac{-1}{4}u^{-1} + frac{1}{8}u^{-2} ]_1^3$$



I plug in numbers but I get a different answer than wolfram...

A much much easier way to solve it is by using integration by parts.



Hint: Take $u=x$, $dv = frac{dx}{(2x+1)^3}$.

1) Observe: $$x= frac 12 times left ( (2x + 1) -1right).$$



2) Use this to obtain $$frac{x}{(2x+1)^3} = frac{1}{2} times frac{1}{(2x+1)^2} - frac 12 times frac{1}{(2x+1)^3}.$$



3) Integrate to get



$$ int frac{x}{(2x+1)^3} dx = -frac{1}{4} (2x+1)^{-1} + frac{1}{8} (2x+1)^{-2}.$$

    $begingroup$

    $$I=int_{0}^{1}dfrac{x mathrm dx}{(2x+1)^3}implies 2I=int_{0}^{1}dfrac{2x+1-1}{(2x+1)^3}mathrm dx$$ $$2I=int_{0}^{1}biggl[dfrac{1}{(2x+1)^2}-dfrac{1}{(2x+1)^3}biggr] mathrm dx $$



    Make the substitution $begin{bmatrix}t \ mathrm dt end{bmatrix}=begin{bmatrix}2x+1 \ 2mathrm dxend{bmatrix}$ and use the general power rule for integrals:



    $$I=dfrac{1}{4}biggl[-dfrac{1}{t}+dfrac{1}{2t^2}biggr]_{1}^{3}=dfrac{1}{18}$$

      1) Observe: $$x= frac 12 times left ( (2x + 1) -1right).$$



      2) Use this to obtain $$frac{x}{(2x+1)^3} = frac{1}{2} times frac{1}{(2x+1)^2} - frac 12 times frac{1}{(2x+1)^3}.$$



      3) Integrate to get



      $$ int frac{x}{(2x+1)^3} dx = -frac{1}{4} (2x+1)^{-1} + frac{1}{8} (2x+1)^{-2}.$$

              $$I=int_{0}^{1}dfrac{x mathrm dx}{(2x+1)^3}implies 2I=int_{0}^{1}dfrac{2x+1-1}{(2x+1)^3}mathrm dx$$ $$2I=int_{0}^{1}biggl[dfrac{1}{(2x+1)^2}-dfrac{1}{(2x+1)^3}biggr] mathrm dx $$



              Make the substitution $begin{bmatrix}t \ mathrm dt end{bmatrix}=begin{bmatrix}2x+1 \ 2mathrm dxend{bmatrix}$ and use the general power rule for integrals:



              $$I=dfrac{1}{4}biggl[-dfrac{1}{t}+dfrac{1}{2t^2}biggr]_{1}^{3}=dfrac{1}{18}$$

                      Refactoring coordinates for Minecraft Pi buildings written in Python

                      Image
                      0 $begingroup$ I'm fairly new to coding and I wrote this script in Python for a house with a roof in Minecraft Pi. I've found different ways to write the coordinates to make the code base shorter, but I'm wondering if it is possible for me to refactor it any further so I don't have to list each coordinate line by line. import mcpi.minecraft as minecraft import mcpi.block as block mc = minecraft.Minecraft.create() p = mc.player.getTilePos() mc.setBlocks(p.x+1, p.y, p.z+1, #Main structure starting coordinates (DO NOT ALTER) p.x+19, p.y+4, p.z+6, #Structure size/coordinates (Alters cube size) block.STONE_BRICK) mc.setBlocks(p.x+2, p.y+1, p.z+2, #Hollowing out main structure interior p.x+18, p.y+3, p.z+5, block.AIR) mc.setBlocks(p.x, p.y...
