\[\int\limits_{\pi/2}^{\pi} 2\cot \theta/3\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its suppose t be pi/2 on the lower limit
OpenStudy (anonymous):
pull out 2/3 out of that integral
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got as far as : \[6\ln \left| sinu \right|\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and i am not sure if that is even right

use U sub
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah ; \[\int\limits_{}^{} \cot u =\ln \left| \sin u \right|\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\int \frac{\text{Cos}[x]}{\text{Sin}[x]}\text{dx}\]
\[\int \frac{1}{u}\text{du}\]
\[\ln [u]=\ln [\text{Sin}[x]]\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So you are right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah but i need some help doing it cause i am getting lost

??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
problem is this is an indefinite integral because cot is not defined at
\[\pi\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the books gives me an answer if : ln27
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you found an antiderivative, but you cannot plug in
\[\pi\] because you will get
\[\ln(0)\] which is undefined
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hold the phone

ooooooooh
OpenStudy (anonymous):
anti derivative is
\[6\ln(\sin(\frac{x}{3}))\] yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
put x =
\[\pi\] get
\[\ln\sin(\frac{\pi}{3})=\ln(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
plug in
\[\frac{\pi}{2}\] get
\[\ln(\frac{1}{2})\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now
\[\ln(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})-\ln(\frac{1}{2})=\ln(\sqrt{3})\]

my that property of logs that says divisions become subtractions
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so you have
\[\ln(\sqrt{3})=\ln(\sqrt{3}^6)\] gives your solution manual answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry that last line was a typo. it should say
\[6\ln(\sqrt{3})=\ln(\sqrt{3}^6)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
which is in fact
\[\ln(27)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
capice?
