Evaluate the following integrals:

Question: Evaluate the following integrals: Solution: Assume $\tan ^{-1} x=t$ $d\left(\tan ^{-1} x\right)=d t$ $\Rightarrow \frac{1}{1+x^{2}} d x=d t$ Substituting $\mathrm{t}$ and $\mathrm{dt}$ in above equation we get $\Rightarrow \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{t}} \mathrm{dt}$ $\Rightarrow \int \mathrm{t}^{-1 \backslash 2} \cdot \mathrm{dt}$ $\Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{t}^{1 \backslash 2}+\mathrm{c}$ But $\mathrm{t}=\tan ^{-1}{ }_{\mathrm{x}}$ $\Rightarrow 2\left(\tan ^{-1} x\right)^{1 / 2}+c$...

Some varieties of wheat are known as spring

Question: Some varieties of wheat are known as spring wheat while others are called winter wheat. The former variety is sown, and planted in spring and is harvested by the end of the same season. However, winter varieties, if planted in spring, fail to flower or produce mature grains within a span of a flowering season. Explain, why? Solution: If planted in spring would normally fail to flower or produce mature grain within a span of a flowering season so they are sown in autumn. Then they germi...
