Applying the formula with we obtain
Example 2
Evaluate .
Solution
This integral requires two different methods to evaluate it. We get to those methods by splitting up the integral:
The first integral is handled straightforward; the second integral is handled by substitution, with . We handle each separately.
: Set , so and . We have
Combining these together, we have
