Integration

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Try substituting, \[\large{\tan{\theta} = u}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. wait =)

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Take your time :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got ln tan theta +c =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about this?

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Well first of all see that the degree of polynomial in numerator = 3 and in denominator = 2 Whenever, the degree of polynomial in numerator > denominator, I generally, solve the numerator in such a way that it becomes something easier to tackle. For example, here, \[\large{x^3+3x = x(x^2+1) + 2x}\] Now, by doing this see what I can get, \[\large{I = \int\cfrac{x(x^2+1)+2x}{x^2+1}dx}\] \[\large{=\int xdx +2\int\cfrac{x}{x^2+1}dx}\]

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Tell me if you have any doubt till now.

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Any doubt @silverxx ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still digesting it haha =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can we also u sub here?

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Take your time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*use u sub here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Gocha. x^2/2 + ln x^2 + 1 +c. the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much @vishweshshrimali5

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

No problem and great work.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait. can i ask again? having doubts to this problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1404914838359:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is 1/2 (lnx)^2 + c. have no idea to the 1/2 thing

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Okay lets see

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

If you can get (lnx)^2 part then very good.. You have got the main part. So, I am just going to post the solution (incomplete): \[\large{I = \int\cfrac{\ln x}{x}dx}\] Substitute, \(\large{\ln x = u}\) \[\large{\implies du = \cfrac{1}{x}dx}\] So, your integral becomes, \[\large{I = u*du}\] Now, what will be I ?

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Ohh sorry in the last step its actually: \[\large{I = \int udu}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes that was my last step and then im lost

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Ok lets see: \[\large{I' = \int x^n dx}\] \[\large{I' = \cfrac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}}\] Now, what would be: \[\large{I = \int u du}\]

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Here, n = 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay.. okay! Gets!! =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

No problem ! :)
