1. Begin by making the substitution u=ex . The resulting integral should be ripe for a trig substitution.
2. Make a choice of trig substitution based on the ±a2±b2u2 term you see after the substitution. With the right choice, after substituting and rewriting using sin/cos, you should again have something fairly nice to solve as a trig integral.
3. The substitution sin(2θ)=2sin(θ)cos(θ) is useful after you integrate.
4. Don’t forget to back substitute (through several substitutions!) until everything is in terms of x.

Consider a cylindrical capacitor like that shown in Fig. 24.6. Let d = rb − ra be the spacing between the inner and outer conductors. (a) Let the radii of the two conductors be only slightly different, so that d << ra. Show that the result derived in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1) for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor then reduces to Eq. (24.2), the equation for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, with A being the surface area of...
