Thought-Process to Discover Knowledge

Welcome to nubtrek.

Books and other education websites provide "matter-of-fact" knowledge. Instead, nubtrek provides a thought-process to discover knowledge.

In each of the topic, the outline of the thought-process, for that topic, is provided for learners and educators.

Read in the blogs more about the unique learning experience at nubtrek.

User Guide

Welcome to nubtrek.

User Guide

To make best use of nubtrek, understand what is available.

nubtrek is designed to explain mathematics and science for young readers. Every topic consists of four sections.

nub,

trek,

jogger,

exercise.

User Guide

nub is the simple explanation of the concept.

This captures the small-core of concept in simple-plain English. The objective is to make the learner to think about.

User Guide

trek is the step by step exploration of the concept.

Trekking is bit hard, requiring one to sweat and exert. The benefits of taking the steps are awesome. In the trek, concepts are explained with exploratory questions and your thinking process is honed step by step.

User Guide

jogger provides the complete mathematical definition of the concepts.

This captures the essence of learning and helps one to review at a later point. The reference is available in pdf document too. This is designed to be viewed in a smart-phone screen.

User Guide

exercise provides practice problems to become fluent in the concepts.

This part does not have much content as of now. Over time, when resources are available, this section will have curated and exam-prep focused questions to test your knowledge.

Integration Methods

»  Standard forms with simple substitution

1/(ax+-b) : use 1/y form

1/(ax+-b)^n use y^(-n) form

1/sqrt(ax+-b) use y^(-1/2) form

»  Standard forms with trigonometric substitution

1/(x^2+a^2) use trigonometric identity tan^2theta + 1 = sec^2theta

1/sqrt(x^2+a^2) use trigonometric identity tan^2theta+1 = sec^2theta

1/sqrt(x^2-a^2) use trigonometric identity sec^2theta-1 = tan^2theta

1/sqrt(a^2-x^2) use trigonometric identity 1-sin^2theta = cos^2theta

»  Integration by Partial Fraction

1/(x^2-a^2) convert to A/(x+a) + B/(x-a)

(px+q)/((x+a)(x+b)) =A/(x+a) + B/(x+b)

(px+q)/((x+a)^2) =A/(x+a) + B/((x+a)^2)

(px^2+qx+r)/((x+a)(x+b)(x+c)) = A/(x+a) + B/(x+b) + C/(x+c)

(px^2+qx+r)/((x+a)^2(x+b)) =A/(x+a) + B/((x+a)^2) + C/(x+b)

(px^2+qx+r)/((x+a)(x^2+bx+c)) =A/(x+a) + (Bx+C)/(x^2+bx+c)

»  Integration by Partial Fraction, when denominator cannot be factorized

1/sqrt(ax^2+bx+c) convert denominator to y^2+-k^2 form

1/(ax^2+bx+c) convert denominator to y^2+-k^2 form

(px+q)/(ax^2+bx+c) convert to two terms, first with numerator as derivative of denominator + second with a constant by denominator
((ax^2+bx+c)′)/(ax^2+bx+c) + A/(ax^2+bx+c)

(px+q)/sqrt(ax^2+bx+c) convert to two terms, first with numerator as derivative of the quadratic equation + second with a constant by denominator
((ax^2+bx+c)′)/sqrt(ax^2+bx+c) + A/sqrt(ax^2+bx+c)

How to integrate int 1/(3x+4) dx?

• Can be integrated by substituting y=3x+4
• cannot be integrated by substitution

The answer is "Can be integrated by substituting y=3x+4".

Integrating int 1/(3x+4) dx by substitution.

int 1/(3x+4) dx

=int 1/3 (d(3x+4))/(3x+4)

using int (dy)/y = ln y + c
=1/3 log(3x+4)+c

How to integrate int 1/((3x+4)^3) dx

• Can be integrated by substituting y=3x+4
• even if substituted the order of denominator is 3 and so, it cannot be integrated

The answer is "Can be integrated by substituting y=3x+4".

Integrating

int 1/((3x+4)^3) dx by substitution

=int 1/3 (d(3x+4))/((3x+4)^3)

using int y^n dy = (n+1)y^(n+1)+ c
=(-2)/3 1/((3x+4)^2)+c

Integration of functions that involve division by polynomial is another form that needs to be studied. For example, consider int 1/(x^2+3x+2), What properties can be used to solve the integration?

• factorize the polynomial and convert the ratio into sum of ratios
• the expression cannot be integrated with algebraic manipulations

The answer is "factorize the polynomial and convert the ratio into sum of ratios".

Integrating int 1/(x^2+3x+2) dx

Factorizing denominator x^2+3x+2 = (x+1)(x+2)

Perform Partial fraction decomposition 1/(x^2+3x+2) = A/(x+1) + B/(x+2)

Can A and B be calculated?

• yes, by equating numerators of LHS and RHS
• no, it is not possible

The answer is "yes, by equating numerators of LHS and RHS".

Partial fraction decomposition:

1/(x^2+3x+2) = A/(x+1) + B/(x+2)

1/(x^2+3x+2) = ((A+B)x+2A+B)/((x+1)(x+2))

denominators are equal, and so, equate numerators to find A and B
A+B=0 and 2A+B=1 gives A=1 and B=-1

So1/(x^2+3x+2) = 1/(x+1) - 1/(x+2)

This can be integrated.
