Here are the step-by-step solutions for the first 10 questions.
Question 9
Evaluate the integral:
∫1−x2dx
Step 1: Factor the denominator.
The denominator is a difference of squares: 1−x2=(1−x)(1+x).
Step 2: Perform partial fraction decomposition.
Let (1−x)(1+x)1=1−xA+1+xB.
Multiply by (1−x)(1+x):
1=A(1+x)+B(1−x)
Set x=1: $1 = A(1
