Help with question 6 pleasee! :) http://www.xtremepapers.com/papers/CIE/Cambridge%20International%20A%20and%20AS%20Level/Mathematics%20(9709)/9709_w05_qp_3.pdf

OpenStudy (misty1212):

HI!! i guess we can do 6, hold on one second

OpenStudy (lxelle):

HII. Okay! :))

OpenStudy (misty1212):

let me write it with pencil first, not sure if it will work on the fly

OpenStudy (lxelle):

Okayy. :) Take your time.

OpenStudy (misty1212):

oh yeah you do just what is says, get it in one step more or less

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[x=\sin^2(\theta), dx =2\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)d\theta\] gives \[2\int\sqrt{\frac{\sin^2(\theta)}{1-\sin^2(\theta)}}\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)d\theta\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

using \(1-\sin^2(\theta)=\cos^2(\theta)\) and cancelling you get what they wrote in one step

OpenStudy (misty1212):

oh oh, maybe i said too much @iGreen is this ok, or should i ask "what do you think?" at this step?

OpenStudy (lxelle):

im quite confused actually. where do i begin from?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

ok lets back up it says make \(x=\sin^2(\theta)\) right?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

so that is what i did i says "let \(x=\sin^2(\theta)\)" then we need \(dx\)

OpenStudy (lxelle):

yes yes

OpenStudy (misty1212):

so we get \[dx=2\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)\] right?

OpenStudy (lxelle):

why 2sinxcosx?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

on account of that is the derivative of \(\sin^2(\theta)\)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

via the chain rule

OpenStudy (misty1212):

clear or no?

OpenStudy (lxelle):

ohh okok

OpenStudy (misty1212):

so now substitute exactly as you see it \[2\int\sqrt{\frac{\sin^2(\theta)}{1-\sin^2(\theta)}}\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)d\theta\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

then use \[1-\sin^2(\theta)=\cos^2(\theta)\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[2\int\sqrt{\frac{\sin^2(\theta)}{\cos^2(\theta)}}\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)d\theta\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

then cancel your brains out and end up with \[2\int \sin^2(\theta)d\theta\]

OpenStudy (lxelle):

nicee. thankss.

OpenStudy (lxelle):

nicee. thankss.
