Question
Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int_{2}^\limits{4}\frac{\text{x}}{\text{x}^2+1}\text{ dx}$

Answer

Let $\text{x}^2=\text{t}$ Then, $2\text{x dx}=\text{dt}$
When $\text{x}=2,\text{ t}=4$ and $\text{x}=4,\text{ t}=16$
$\therefore\ \text{I}=\int_{2}^\limits{4}\frac{\text{x}}{\text{x}^2+1}\text{ dx}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\int_{4}^\limits{16}\frac{1}{2}\frac{\text{dt}}{\text{t}+1}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\log(\text{t}+1)\Big]^{16}_4$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\frac{1}{2}\log17-\frac{1}{2}\log5$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\frac{1}{2}\log\frac{17}{5}$

A laboratory blood test is $99\%$ effective in detecting a certain disease when its infection is present. However, the test also yields a false positive result for $0.5\%$ of the healthy person tested $($i.e. if a healthy person is tested, then, with probability $0.005,$ the test will imply he has the disease$).$ If $0.1\%$ of the population actually has the disease, what is the probability that a person has the disease given that his test result is positive?
