Q15. ∫(sin(√x)) / √x dx = ?
Answer: -2 cos(√x) + C
Explanation: Substitute u = √x, du = 1/(2√x) dx, then 2∫sin(u) du = -2cos(u) + C.
Q16. ∫(2x + 1) dx from 0 to 1 = ?
Answer: 3 / 2
Explanation: Using the power rule of integration, ∫(2x + 1) dx = x² + x. Evaluate from 0 to 1: (1² + 1) - (0² + 0) = 2.
Q17. ∫sin(x) dx from 0 to π = ?
Answer: 2
Explanation: The antiderivative of sin(x) is -cos(x). Evaluate from 0 to π: (-cos(π)) - (-cos(0)) = -(-1) - (-1) = 2.
Q18. ∫(1 / x) dx from 1 to 2 = ?
