Some fun integrals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here are some fun integrals I encourage everyone to try them \[\int\limits [\log(logx)+\frac{1}{(logx)^2}]dx\] and \[\int\limits [\sqrt{cotx}+\sqrt{tanx}]dx\]

@mathmath333

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

try to apply integration by parts to this \(\log(\log x)\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

first one looks hard but interesting :) here is how im trying the second : \[\begin{align} \int (\sqrt{\cot x}+ \sqrt{\tan x})dx &=\int \dfrac{1+\tan x }{\sqrt{\tan x}}dx\\~\\ \end{align}\] next u sbstitution i guess \(u^2 = \tan x \implies dx = \dfrac{2u}{1+u^4}du \) \[\begin{align} \int \dfrac{1+\tan x }{\sqrt{\tan x}}dx&= \int \dfrac{1+u^2}{u}\dfrac{2u}{1+u^4}du\\~\\ &=2\int \dfrac{1+u^2}{1+u^4}du\\~\\ &=\cdots \end{align}\]

doing pretty good so far ganeshie, keep going

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

so nishant garg u have solution for first or asking for help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ive done these, thought they are good so share with others :)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

cool

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

they are indeed interesting :) let me see if i can complete the second one \[\begin{align} \int \dfrac{1+\tan x }{\sqrt{\tan x}}dx&= \int \dfrac{1+u^2}{u}\dfrac{2u}{1+u^4}du\\~\\ &=2\int \dfrac{1+u^2}{1+u^4}du\\~\\ &=2\int \dfrac{\frac{1}{u^2}+1}{\frac{1}{u^2}+u^2}du\\~\\ &=2\int \dfrac{\frac{1}{u^2}+1}{\left(u-\frac{1}{u}\right)^2+2}du\\~\\ &=2\int \dfrac{1}{t^2+2}dt~~\color{gray}{(t =u-\frac{1}{u} )}\\~\\ &=\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{2}} \arctan\left(\frac{t}{\sqrt{2}}\right)+C\\~\\ &=\sqrt{2} \arctan\left(\frac{u-\frac{1}{u}}{\sqrt{2}}\right)+C\\~\\ &=\sqrt{2} \arctan\left(\frac{\tan x-1}{\sqrt{2\tan x}}\right)+C\\~\\ \end{align}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, that's right @ganeshie8

put lnx= t dx=e^t.. add subtract 1/t inside the bracket...two integrals will form of type e^x(f(x)+f'(x)) which on integration gives e^xf(x) or simply use by part in one integral of both brackets

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

here is the solution: by parts we have: \[\int {\log \left( {\log x} \right)dx = x\log \left( {\log x} \right) - \int {\frac{{dx}}{{\log x}}} } \qquad (1)\] and, by integrating byparts we have again: \[\int {\frac{{dx}}{{\log x}}} = \frac{x}{{\log x}} + \int {\frac{{dx}}{{{{\left( {\log x} \right)}^2}}}} \] from which, we get: \[\int {\frac{{dx}}{{{{\left( {\log x} \right)}^2}}}} = \int {\frac{{dx}}{{\log x}}} - \frac{x}{{\log x}}\quad \left( 2 \right)\] now adding (1)+(2), we get: \[\int {\left[ {\log \left( {\log x} \right) + \frac{1}{{{{\left( {\log x} \right)}^2}}}} \right]} \;dx = x\log \left( {\log x} \right) - \frac{x}{{\log x}} + \lambda \]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

where, as usual, \[\lambda \], is the arbitrary real constant

Good job guys, you nailed it. Haha
