I'm teaching a Calculus II class and we are covering integration techniques. We've covered $u$-substitution, integration by parts, trig integrals, trigonometric substitutions, partial fractions and integration involving hyperbolic functions. I want to give my students some integrals to do that can be done using as many of these methods as possible. So far, I've come up with $\int\frac{x}{x^2-1}dx$ which can be done using partial fractions, $u$-substitution, trigonometric substitution, and a hyperbolic cosine substitution. I was wondering if anyone had other examples like this. Thanks.

0Are you asking for an integral which requires all of these different methods to do, or an integral which can be done using any one of the various methods? – 2012-09-11
