Original problem · added worked solution
Authored worked explanation for the original source problem.

Problem 3
Original problem · added worked solution
Authored worked explanation for the original source problem.
Source review note: The source gives 36.3. The printed MathML has upper bound 2 followed by coefficient 6; evaluating that integral yields the reviewed value shown here.
The printed upper limit is 2 and the coefficient of the radical is 6. Set u=√x, so dx=2u du and u runs from 0 to √2.
Why: Read the MathML bounds separately from the adjacent coefficient.

Why: The second substitution removes the radical's shift.
A primitive in x is ; subtract its value at 0 from its value at 2.

Problem 6
Original problem · clarified · added worked solution
Clarification: Interpret the removable hole at x=2 by taking the finite one-sided limits, or equivalently by using the continuous extension.
Authored worked explanation for the original source problem.
Source review note: The source value is consistent after cancelling a removable 0/0 at x=2 and evaluating the integral by limiting/continuous-extension interpretation.
Factor the denominator as ; away from x=2 the quotient equals 1/(x²+4).
Why: The original 0/0 at 2 remains a source-domain hole.
The simplified function has a continuous extension through 2 with value 1/8. The two improper side limits at that point are finite.
Why: A single removable hole does not change the definite integral when interpreted via limits.
A primitive is (1/2)arctan(x/2); evaluating from 0 to infinity gives (1/2)(π/2)=π/4.

Final answer
Problem 9
Original problem · added worked solution
Authored worked explanation for the original source problem.
Source review note: The source gives ln(ln(cos(ln x)))+3+C. The printed denominator includes +3 inside its bracket; its primitive is −ln|ln(cos(ln x))+3|+C, and the source expression is generally not real-defined.

Why: The whole bracket is the repeated inside expression.
.
Why: Differentiate the outer logarithm, cosine, and inner logarithm in order.
The integral becomes −∫du/u, giving the displayed answer and its domain restrictions.
Why: The negative differential supplies the sign; the absolute value allows either nonzero sign of u.
