The integral of esec(x) dx is not a function that may be expressed in terms of well-studied mathematical functions, elementary or nonelementary. In general, it must be evaluated by numerical methods.

How do you put sec cubed in a calculator?

sec x = 1/cos x → sec³ x = 1/cos³ x or sec³ x = (cos x)^-3 Therefore to enter sec³ x on a calculator: Newer, "natural" calculators: mathio: sec³ x → [x-power] [cos] [<angle>] [)] [navigate →] [(-)] [3] [=] lineio: sec³ x → [(] [cos] [)] [)] [x-power] [(-)] [3] [)] [=] Older, function acts on displayed number calculators: sec³ x → [angle] [cos] [x-power] [3] [±] [=]


Integrate x 5x dx?

integrate(x5x dx) simplifies to integrate(5x^2 dx), and using the power rule of integration, add one to the power of x and divide the term by that number. Thus, x5x dx integrated is (5/3)x^3


How do you integrate x power -1?

x-1 = 1/x ∫1/x dx = ln x + C


What is the antiderivative of e to the x plus 17?

I'm not sure if you mean e^x + 17 or e^(x+17) so we'll do both. First, the integral of e^x + 17 because these terms are being added you can integrate them separately: integral((e^x)dx) + integral(17dx) integral of e^x is just e^x + C Integral of 17 is 17x + C, so we get: e^x + 17x + C Second, the integral of e^(x+17) we know how to integrate the form e^u, so just do a u substitution u=x+17 du=dx so we get integral((e^u)du)=e^u + C resubstitute for u and get e^(x+17) + C


Integrate e raised to power x raised to power 2?

This integral cannot be performed analytically. Ony when the integral is taken from 0 to infinity can it be computed by squaring the integral and applying a change of variable (switching to polar coordinates). if desired I could show how to do this.
