integrate the following

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{\Pi/2} \sin ^{2}x \div (\sin ^{2}x+4\cos ^{2}x)\]

OpenStudy (perl):

change cos^2 = 1 - sin^2

OpenStudy (perl):

so you have for the denominator sin^2 + 4(1-sin^2) = sin^2 + 4 - 4 sin^2 -3sin^2 + 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think this is aprtial fractions. If you take cos^2 x common from denominator you have tan^2 x/(tan^2 x+4) Put tan x=t. you'll get dx=dt/sec^2 x= dt/(1+t^2). So you have t^2/((t^2+4)(t^2+1)). Do you know partial fractions?

OpenStudy (perl):

you dont need partional fractions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How will you do it by converting denominator to sin?

OpenStudy (perl):

the denominator is -3sin^2 t + 4 , do long division

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we gottta use the properties of definite integrals

OpenStudy (perl):

shank, change cos^2 = 1 - sin^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And then what?

OpenStudy (perl):

long division

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?
