Integration

OpenStudy (turingtest):

oh the suspense...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{\pi/10}^{2\pi/5}(\sin x) /(\sin x + \cos x)\]

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

lol

OpenStudy (turingtest):

not an easy one... unless I'm missing a trick

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

im was thinkin multiply top and bottom by sinx-cosx though i dont see how that helps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solving these stuff really gives me the creeps!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why not do what bahrom suggests?

OpenStudy (mani_jha):

Bahrom is right. We shall get cos2x in the denominator. and above simply sin^2x-sinxcosx sin^2x=(1-cos2x)/2 sinxcosx=sin2x/2 Now, it should be possible

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

i always have good ideas :D, i just dont realize it haha.

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

Yea and i am not modest ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

even we can use the subsitution u=tan(x/2)

OpenStudy (turingtest):

^that is wolframs suggestion and it gets pretty crazy the way that goes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u get( - cos2x ) at denomintor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i looked at that too damned long

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x/2=tan^-1(u) x=2tan^-1(u) dx=(2)/(1+u^2)du....

OpenStudy (mani_jha):

Multiply by (cosx-sinx) not (sinx-cosx)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe something along the the lines of \[sin(x)+\cos(x)=\sqrt{2}\sin(x+\frac{\pi}{4})\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer 0.5[x+(sec^2 x)/2] as per Bahroms method???

OpenStudy (turingtest):

not quite according to wolf

OpenStudy (turingtest):

close...

sam (.sam.):

Check my work, \[\frac{\sin^2x-sinxcosx}{\sin^2x-\cos^2x}\] \[\frac{\sin^2x-sinxcosx}{\cos2x}\] \[\huge \frac{(-\frac{\cos2x-1}{2})-sinxcosx}{\cos2x}\] \[\frac{1-\cos2x-2sinxcosx}{\cos2x}\] \[\sec2x-1-\tan2x\]

OpenStudy (mani_jha):

it'll be (-cos2x) in the denominator,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mani jah method gives \[\int \frac{\sin(x)(\cos(x)-\sin(x))}{\cos(2x)}dx\] \[\int\frac{\sin(x)\cos(x)}{\cos(2x)}dx-\int\frac{sin^2(x)}{\cos(2x)}dx\] \[\frac{1}{2}\int\frac{\sin(2x)}{\cos(2x)}dx-\int \frac{\sin^2(x)}{\cos(2x)}dx\] now first one is easy, second one not sure about

OpenStudy (turingtest):

we can turn the second into\[\int{\sin^2x\over2\sin^2x-1}dx\]and um... that's where I feel like I should know what to do...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the integration of sec 2x

OpenStudy (mani_jha):

@satellite73, you can also use sin^2x=(1-cos2x)/2

OpenStudy (turingtest):

integral of secx is a totally different question; let's keep it one at a time (to do it multiply by sec+tan/sec+tan)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As per mani method i am getting \[0.5\int\limits_{}^{}[\tan 2x+1-\sec 2x]\]

OpenStudy (turingtest):

yeah that is correct

OpenStudy (mani_jha):

I'm too lazy to work out the answer myself right now. Just put the limits now, and see if you get the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i nee the integral of sec 2x @mani

OpenStudy (turingtest):

I just told you how Sarkar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didnt get it could you please,explain!!!

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[\int\sec xdx=\int\sec x\cdot{\sec x+\tan x\over\sec x+\tan x}dx\]\[=\int{\sec^2x+\sec x\tan x\over\sec x+\tan x}dx\]\[u=\sec x+\tan x\]

OpenStudy (mani_jha):

See no. 73. http://integral-table.com/old/IntegralTable.pdf

okay!!!
