Compute the following integral (u-sub):
\[\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ x \cos (x^2) }{ \sqrt{\sin (x^2)}}dx\]
did you try u=x^2 first?
I did. I ended up with x + C, which was marked as incorrect. Maybe it has something to do with tangent? I am rather confused by this question.
x+c ? how? first put x^2 =u next put sin u = t or you can directly first put sin x^2 = u du=... ?
I attempted to put u = x^2 and v = sin(u)... perhaps that was my mistake. If sin x^2 = u, du/2 = xcos x^2dx?
yes! that would totally simplify it...
Well, here is what I did... Maybe my mistake was in computation.
\(\int du/(2\sqrt u)\)
1\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \int\limits_{}^{} v^{-1/2}dv = \frac{ v^{-1/2+1} }{ 1/2 } + C = \sqrt{v}+C=\sqrt{\sin(u)}+C=\sqrt{x^2}+C=x+C\]
Where u=x^2 and v=sin(u)
\(\sqrt{\sin x^2}+c\) is correct final answer.
Ah, I see.\[\sqrt{\sin(u)}+C \neq \sqrt{x^2}+C.\] So would the answer be \[\sqrt{\sin(x^2)}+C?\]
I see... Can that be simplified any further?
i don't think so....no
Okay. I see what I did wrong now... thank you for your help again, though I'll probably need it again soon! Much appreciated!
