integration

OpenStudy (aravindg):

find \[\Huge \int\limits \frac{\cos^2x\;dx}{\cos^2x+9\sin^2x}\]

OpenStudy (aravindg):

i tried dividing with \[\large \cos^4 x\]

OpenStudy (aravindg):

bt still nt reching the crct place

OpenStudy (aravindg):

*reaching

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply and divide by \(\cos^2x\) then, substitute \(t=\tan x\).\[\frac{1}{(1+t^2)(1+9t^2)} dt\]

OpenStudy (aravindg):

hw u gt that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac1{(1+t^2)(1+9t^2)} = \frac{At +B}{1+t^2} + \frac{Ct + D}{1+9t^2}\] I hope this is right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I already told you lol.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

where is the multiplied\[\cos^4 x\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{1}{(1+t^2)(1+9t^2)}= \frac{1}{-8} \left(\frac{1}{1+t^2} - \frac{9}{1+9t^2}\right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\Large\frac{\frac{\cos^2x}{\cos^2x}}{\frac{\cos^2x + 9 \sin^2x}{\cos^2x}}\]

OpenStudy (aravindg):

ooh !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did it with \(\cos^2x\) not \(\cos^4x\)

OpenStudy (aravindg):

i was confused by ur statement multiply and divide ..i was looking where is multiplication lols

OpenStudy (aravindg):

cant we get to it by dividing with \(\huge \cos^4 x?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can but i don't want to

OpenStudy (aravindg):

hw to integrate \[\huge \frac{1}{1+9t^2}\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

it's 9..the numerator

OpenStudy (aravindg):

:) i took 9 outside :P

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

oh well then arctan yup :)

OpenStudy (aravindg):

i didnt get hw it is arc tan

OpenStudy (aravindg):

helppp

OpenStudy (aravindg):

@dpaInc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

hehe...tell me hw it is arc tan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was referring to \[\huge \frac{1}{1+9t^2}\]. it's in the form 1/(a^2 + u^2)

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

it's one of the basic inverse trig thingies \(\LARGE \int \frac{1}{a^2 + u^2} = \frac{1}{a} \tan^{-1} ({u}{a})\)

OpenStudy (aravindg):

u is 3t?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

\(\LARGE \frac{1}{a} \tan^{-1} (\frac{u}{a})\) sorry latex problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there you go...LGBA^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and yes u=3t @AravindG

OpenStudy (aravindg):

hm thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u welcome
