Great integrals question – very stuck!! Shown below....help would be greatly appreciated!
The graph of the function \[y=\frac{ k }{ \sin2x }\] where \[0<x<\frac{ \pi }{ 2 }\] is given. Find the value of 'k' such that the shaded area shown is equal to ln3
The main problem is that I am not sure what the 'shaded area' is referring to as I am not provided with any diagram! ...
I'm guessing k is just a scalar and that the region is from 0 to pi/2
yeah thats what i assumed at the start, but it didnt end well...
Yeah. Weird.
...i figured that since the function is undefined between those intervals then the area under the graph has to be an infinite area....?
Yeah. It's undefined at the boundaries of the interval, so that must not be the shaded region the problem refers to...
exactly! ... thanks for your help, i'll let my teacher know and see what she says...
Cool, glad to help.
\[y=\frac{k}{\sin2x}=k\csc2x\] which looks something like so |dw:1405059298545:dw|
