The integral In, where n is an integer, is defined by In=∫034(1+x2)21ndx.
(a) Find the exact value of I−1 giving your answer in the form lna, where a is an integer to be determined.
(2)
(b) By considering dxd(x(1+x2)21n), or otherwise, show that
(n+1)In=nIn−2+34(35)n.
(5)
(c) A curve has equation y=x2, for 0≤x≤32. The arc length of the curve is denoted by s.
Use the substitution u=2x to show that s=21I1 and find the exact value of s.
