Final one for today - Promise xD @solomonzelman

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes, perfect, you got it!

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

AWESOME. :)

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Finally done with my homework. Whew! Now I can go eat dinner. Thanks a million!

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\color{#000000}{\displaystyle\int\limits_{~}^{~} \sec^{2m}z~dz;\quad m\in\mathbb{N},~m\le 2}\) \(\color{#000000}{\displaystyle\int\limits_{~}^{~} (1+\tan^{2(m-1)}z)\sec^2z~dz}\) \(\color{#000000}{\displaystyle\int\limits_{~}^{~} 1+u^{2(m-1)}~du=u+\frac{u^{2m-1}}{2m-1}+C=\tan z+\frac{\tan ^{2m-1}z}{2m-1}+C}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Generalization.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Sometimes, perhaps it is better to generalize. It's precise, and the math spirit rises.

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

why must m <= 2?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Well, \(\color{#000000}{\displaystyle\int\limits_{~}^{~} \sec^{2}z~dz=\tan x+C}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

oh tan(z) Not x, but the point is the same...

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

oh I meant m>=2. Sorry

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\color{#000000}{\displaystyle\int\limits_{~}^{~} \sec^{2m}z~dz=\tan z+\frac{\tan ^{2m-1}z}{2m-1}+C\quad {\small \rm when,}\quad \left\{m|m\in \mathbb{N},m\ge 2\right\}}\) \(\color{#000000}{\displaystyle\int\limits_{~}^{~} \sec^{2 m}z~dz=\tan z+C\quad {\small \rm when}\quad m=1}\) \(\color{#000000}{\displaystyle\int\limits_{~}^{~} \sec^{2 m}z~dz=z+C\quad {\small \rm when}\quad m=0}\)

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Ah, I see now.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

and for negative integer m, they are cosines to positive powers...

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Don't want to overwhelm with generalizations though; good luck with integration!@

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Thanks! Have a good night (or whatever it is wher you live)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I live in Atlanta GA, yes night:) .... \(u_2\)

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

lol, it's late where you are. 3 hrs later than where I am
