Find the area bounded by the $$x$$-axis, part of the curve $$y = \left( {1 + {8 \over {{x^2}}}} \right)$$ and
the ordinates at $$x=2$$ and $$x=4$$. If the ordinate at $$x=a$$ divides the area into two equal parts, find $$a$$.

Evaluate : $$\int\limits_0^{\pi /4} {{{\sin x + \cos x} \over {9 + 16\sin 2x}}dx} $$

The value of the integral $$\int\limits_0^{\pi /2} {{{\sqrt {\cot x} } \over {\sqrt {\cot x} + \sqrt {\tan x} }}dx} $$ is

Evaluate : $$\int {{{\left( {x - 1} \right){e^x}} \over {{{\left( {x + 1} \right)}^3}}}dx} $$
