http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/54a30f39e4b0a96030d7a6a0 is the initial post.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have: \[\frac{1}{4} \int\limits_{ }^{} \frac{\ln p}{(1-p)\sqrt{p}}~dp\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(I did several substitutions in my post, and made some typos. that is all for that link)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do I do now?

OpenStudy (kainui):

Wait, did you say the original problem you had was \[\Large \int\limits i^{\cos x} dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, I said that it is not anything like silly imaginary integral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my original prob, as in that link, was, \[\int\limits_{ }^{ } \ln(\cos v)~dv\]

OpenStudy (kainui):

I have to brb but I'll be back soon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Absolutely fascinated!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tnx:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I wanted to attempt partial fractions, but am I permitted to do so (provided I don't plug in 1 or 0 for p, into A(sqrt{1-p})+B*p=ln(p) ) ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{1}{4} \int\limits_{ }^{ } \frac{\ln p}{(1-p)\sqrt{p}}~dp\]\[\frac{A}{\sqrt{p}}+\frac{B}{1-p}\]\[A(1-p)+B \sqrt{p} =\ln(p)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when p=e, and p=e^2 \[A(1-e)+B \sqrt{e} =1\]\[A(1-e^2)+B e=2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply the first equation times -(1+e) \[-A(1-e^2)-B(1+e)\sqrt{e}=-e-1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what in the world am I... but will see if I can, I don't see any restrictions, asides from difficulty.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

adding the 2 equations. \[B \sqrt{e}-(1+e)B \sqrt{e}=1-e\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[B \sqrt{e}-(1+e)B \sqrt{e}=1-e\]\[-e~B \sqrt{e}=1-e\]\[B=\frac{e-1}{e \sqrt{e}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[A(1-e)+B \sqrt{e}=1 \] \[A(1-e)+ \frac{e-1}{e }=1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[A(1-e)+ \frac{e-1}{e }=\frac{e}{e}\]\[A(1-e)=\frac{1}{e}\]\[A=\frac{1}{e(1-e)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does this involve integration by parts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{1}{4} \int\limits_{ }^{ } \frac{\frac{1}{e(1-e)}}{\sqrt{p}}+\frac{\frac{e-1}{e \sqrt{e}}}{1-p}~dp\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, thi is partial fractions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then I get, \[\frac{2\sqrt{p}}{4e(1-e)}+\frac{(e-1)~\ln (1-p)}{4e \sqrt{e}}+C\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, got it now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then sub in what I had before p=cos^2v.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{2 \cos v}{4e(1-e)}+\frac{(e-1)~\ln (\sin^2v)}{4e \sqrt{e}}+C\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Jesus your good fbi2015!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not sure if what I did is correct though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tnx for the complement though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{2 \cos v}{4e(1-e)}+\frac{(e-1)~\ln (\sin v)}{2e \sqrt{e}}+C\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is what I am arriving at.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solved my BS prob, closing.
