1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to evaluate two integrals and two limits.
(a) x22dx\int \frac{x^2}{2} dx
(b) xx+1dx\int \frac{x}{x+1} dx
(c) limx31x3\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{1}{x-3}
(d) limx02x+23x+5\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{2x+2}{3x+5}

2. Solution Steps

(a) Integral of x2/2x^2/2
x22dx=12x2dx\int \frac{x^2}{2} dx = \frac{1}{2} \int x^2 dx
Using the power rule for integration, xndx=xn+1n+1+C\int x^n dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} + C, where n1n \ne -1:
12x2dx=12x33+C=x36+C\frac{1}{2} \int x^2 dx = \frac{1}{2} \frac{x^3}{3} + C = \frac{x^3}{6} + C
(b) Integral of x/(x+1)x/(x+1)
xx+1dx\int \frac{x}{x+1} dx
We can rewrite the integrand as follows:
xx+1=x+11x+1=x+1x+11x+1=11x+1\frac{x}{x+1} = \frac{x+1-1}{x+1} = \frac{x+1}{x+1} - \frac{1}{x+1} = 1 - \frac{1}{x+1}
So, the integral becomes:
(11x+1)dx=1dx1x+1dx=xlnx+1+C\int (1 - \frac{1}{x+1}) dx = \int 1 dx - \int \frac{1}{x+1} dx = x - \ln|x+1| + C
(c) Limit of 1/(x3)1/(x-3) as xx approaches

3. $\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{1}{x-3}$

As xx approaches 3 from the left (i.e., x3x \to 3^-), x3x-3 approaches 0 from the negative side. Therefore, 1x3\frac{1}{x-3} approaches -\infty.
As xx approaches 3 from the right (i.e., x3+x \to 3^+), x3x-3 approaches 0 from the positive side. Therefore, 1x3\frac{1}{x-3} approaches ++\infty.
Since the left and right limits are not equal, the limit does not exist.
(d) Limit of (2x+2)/(3x+5)(2x+2)/(3x+5) as xx approaches

0. $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{2x+2}{3x+5}$

We can evaluate the limit by substituting x=0x=0 into the expression since the function is continuous at x=0x=0.
2(0)+23(0)+5=25\frac{2(0)+2}{3(0)+5} = \frac{2}{5}

3. Final Answer

(a) x22dx=x36+C\int \frac{x^2}{2} dx = \frac{x^3}{6} + C
(b) xx+1dx=xlnx+1+C\int \frac{x}{x+1} dx = x - \ln|x+1| + C
(c) limx31x3\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{1}{x-3} does not exist.
(d) limx02x+23x+5=25\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{2x+2}{3x+5} = \frac{2}{5}
