Calculus II Inverse functions, Can you please help me solve this exercise: http://screencast.com/t/HbZtHNM3pwN

hartnn (hartnn):

did try u=tan x ? du =... ?

hartnn (hartnn):

and invese functions? O.o

OpenStudy (christos):

I tried tan but I got it wrong along the way , wait let me see again..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he's right and after integration it will be sin^-1 u den substitute u=tanx

OpenStudy (christos):

du = 2tanx + sec^2x dx ?

hartnn (hartnn):

after the substitution, what did your integration turn into ? in terms of u

hartnn (hartnn):

no, u= tan x du = sec^2 x dx thats it!

OpenStudy (christos):

but its tan^2

hartnn (hartnn):

so, the denominator will be \(\sqrt{1-u^2}\) whats the harm in it ?

OpenStudy (christos):

oook

OpenStudy (christos):

sin^-1(tanx) + C ? thats it ?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, thats acceptable, but you can express that algebraically also...if u need to.

OpenStudy (christos):

naaah its ok ! that will do , ty

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome ^_^
