    In exercises 1 - 4, determine whether the statement is true or false. Justify your answer with a proof or a counterexample.

    1) \(\displaystyle ∫e^x\sin(x)\,dx\) cannot be integrated by parts.

    2) \(\displaystyle ∫\frac{1}{x^4+1}\,dx\) cannot be integrated using partial fractions.

    Answer
    False

    3) In numerical integration, increasing the number of points decreases the error.

    4) Integration by parts can always yield the integral.

    Answer
    False

    In exercises 5 - 10, evaluate the integral using the specified method.

    5) \(\displaystyle ∫x^2\sin(4x)\,dx,\) using integration by parts

    6) \(\displaystyle ∫\frac{1}{x^2\sqrt{x^2+16}}\,dx,\) using trigonometric substitution

    Answer
    \(\displaystyle ∫\frac{1}{x^2\sqrt{x^2+16}}\,dx = −\frac{\sqrt{x^2+16}}{16x}+C\)

    7) \(\displaystyle ∫\sqrt{x}\ln x\,dx,\) using integration by parts

    8) \(\displaystyle ∫\frac{3x}{x^3+2x^2−5x−6}\,dx,\) using partial fractions

    Answer
    \(\displaystyle ∫\frac{\sqrt{4−\sin^2(x)}}{\sin^2(x)}\cos(x)\,dx = −\frac{\sqrt{4−\sin^2(x)}}{\sin(x)}−\frac{x}{2}+C\)

    approximately 0.2194

    21) We have now covered many methods for evaluating integrals. Use ChatGPT (or another LLM) to analyze how to decide which method to use. Submit your prompt(s), a summary of the output from ChatGPT, and your analysis of how accurate this output is based on the classwork and homework.
