integral question :)
\[\large \int\limits_{0}^{?} \large \frac{d\theta}{1+\frac{1}{2}\cos \theta}\]
1 = sin^2 + cos^2 may help...
no x(
ok idk if it work lol
it looks really familiar
did u try u subs
how about multiply top and bottom by conjugate
then using 1=sin^2w+cos^2w
well i tried , doing it using complex number mmm and i got an answer , i wanna solve it normally :O for high school student :\ so nothing real worked with me :\
ya i wud do complex too
but i knew u were highschool
http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/134577/how-do-you-integrate-int-frac1a-cos-x-dx
i got an answer of 4 pi /sqrt 3
lol if bswan is in highschool then i wud be in elementary or kg >.<
dan im not high school lol im teaching a high school student :)
ohh okk sry
so i wont solve it using complex :(
parts!!?! long but its gotta work
1=sin^2(x/2)+cos^2(x/2) and then cosx=cos^2(x/2)-sin^2(x/2)
what are u gonna do with that?
thx @ganeshie8 for the link i think i got a suitable method

\[\int \dfrac{d\theta}{1+\frac{1}{2}\cos \theta} = \int \dfrac{d\theta}{1+\frac{1}{2}(2\cos ^2(\theta/2) - 1)} = \dfrac{d\theta}{\cos^2(\theta / 2) + \frac{1}{2}}\]
divide top and bottom by cos^2 and substitute \(u = \tan (\theta/2)\)
cool :)
what i did is this , z=e^itheta so the integral was like this |dw:1401115620407:dw|
