Integration Methods
1. **Stating the problem:**
We need to solve three integrals:
- $$\int 4x e^x \, dx$$ (using integration by parts)
- $$\int \ln(x) \, dx$$ (using integration by parts)
- $$\int \frac{4x}{x^2 - 3} \, dx$$ (using substitution method)
2. **Integration by parts formula:**
$$\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du$$
This formula is used when the integral is a product of two functions.
3. **First integral: $$\int 4x e^x \, dx$$**
- Let $$u = 4x$$ so $$du = 4 dx$$
- Let $$dv = e^x dx$$ so $$v = e^x$$
- Applying integration by parts:
$$\int 4x e^x dx = 4x e^x - \int 4 e^x dx = 4x e^x - 4 e^x + C$$
4. **Second integral: $$\int \ln(x) \, dx$$**
- Let $$u = \ln(x)$$ so $$du = \frac{1}{x} dx$$
- Let $$dv = dx$$ so $$v = x$$
- Applying integration by parts:
$$\int \ln(x) dx = x \ln(x) - \int x \cdot \frac{1}{x} dx = x \ln(x) - \int 1 dx = x \ln(x) - x + C$$
5. **Substitution method for $$\int \frac{4x}{x^2 - 3} dx$$**
- Let $$t = x^2 - 3$$ so $$dt = 2x dx$$
- Rewrite the integral:
$$\int \frac{4x}{x^2 - 3} dx = \int \frac{4x}{t} dx$$
- Express $$dx$$ in terms of $$dt$$:
$$dt = 2x dx \Rightarrow dx = \frac{dt}{2x}$$
- Substitute back:
$$\int \frac{4x}{t} dx = \int \frac{4x}{t} \cdot \frac{dt}{2x} = \int \frac{4x}{t} \cdot \frac{dt}{2x} = \int \frac{4}{2t} dt = \int \frac{2}{t} dt$$
- Integrate:
$$2 \int \frac{1}{t} dt = 2 \ln|t| + C = 2 \ln|x^2 - 3| + C$$
**Final answers:**
- $$\int 4x e^x dx = 4x e^x - 4 e^x + C$$
- $$\int \ln(x) dx = x \ln(x) - x + C$$
- $$\int \frac{4x}{x^2 - 3} dx = 2 \ln|x^2 - 3| + C$$
