A stepwise solution that uses top-level commands except for one application of the Change command from the IntegrationTools package:
Initialization
|
•
|
Install the IntegrationTools package.

•
|
Let be the name of the given integral.
|
|
|
Change variables as per Table 6.3.1
|
•
|
Use the Change command to apply the change of variables .
|
|
|
•
|
Simplify the radical to . Note the restriction imposed on .
|
|
|
•
|
Apply the double-angle trig identity for via the simplify command with the identity as a side relation.
|
|
|
•
|
Apply the half-angle trig identity for .
|
|
|
•
|
Split the integral with the expand command, while preventing Maple from expanding .
|
|
|
•
|
Use the value command to evaluate what are now two separate but simple integrals.
|
|
|
•
|
Apply the expand command to express in terms of and . (This is a standard trig identity.)
|
|
|
•
|
Revert the change of variables by applying the substitution .

Table 6.3.6(a) displays the annotated stepwise solution provided by the
tutor when the Constant, Constant Multiple, and Sum rules are taken as Understood Rules.

|
Note the trig identities Maple imposes on to obtain a multiple of instead of a multiple of . The integration of is straightforward, so Table 6.3.6(a) concludes at that step.
