  1. Show that making the substitution \(x = \frac{1}{t}\) in the integral \[\int_a^b \frac{1}{(1+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\,\mathrm{d}x\,,\] where \(b > a > 0\), gives the integral \[\int_{b^{-1}}^{a^{-1}} \frac{-t}{(1+t^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\,\mathrm{d}t\,.\]
  2. Evaluate:
    1. \(\displaystyle\int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{2} \frac{1}{(1+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\,\mathrm{d}x\,;\)
    2. \(\displaystyle\int_{-2}^{2} \frac{1}{(1+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\,\mathrm{d}x\,.\)
    1. Show that \[\int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{2} \frac{1}{(1+x^2)^2}\,\mathrm{d}x = \int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{2} \frac{x^2}{(1+x^2)^2}\,\mathrm{d}x = \frac{1}{2}\int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{2} \frac{1}{1+x^2}\,\mathrm{d}x\,,\] and hence evaluate \[\int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{2} \frac{1}{(1+x^2)^2}\,\mathrm{d}x\,.\]
    2. Evaluate \[\int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{2} \frac{1-x}{x(1+x^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}}\,\mathrm{d}x\,.\]
