The Integral of e^[sec(pi*t)]sec(pi*t)tan(pi*t)
\(\large \color{#000000}{\displaystyle\int\limits_{~}^{~} e^{\sec (\pi t)}\sec (\pi t)\tan (\pi t) ~dt}\)
\(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle \frac{ d }{dt}\sec(at)=a\sec(at)\tan(at) }\) (using the chain rule) ... correct??
I worked through the problem, but the answer in the book is \[(1/\pi)e^(\sec \pi*t)\]
And I just got \[e^(\sec \pi*t)\]
How did you get that, can you show me your work?
Well the derivative of e^x is just e^x
and then I used the chain rule on sec(pi*t)
My problem is finding where the (1/pi) came from
What is the derivative of sec(π•t) ?
sec(pi*t)tan(pi*t)
tnope, you forgot the chain rule for π
for pi t
Oh I forgot. Thanks so much. Chain rule always gets me
:)
So, basically: (I'll use x) \( \color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle \int e^{\sec \pi x} \sec(\pi x)\tan(\pi x)~dx }\) \( \color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle \int \left(\frac{1}{\pi}\times \pi\right)e^{\sec \pi x} \sec(\pi x)\tan(\pi x)~dx }\) \(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle \frac{1}{\pi}\int e^{\sec \pi x} [ \pi \sec(\pi x)\tan(\pi x)]~dx }\)
then either u-substitution u=sec(π•x), or "recognize the derivative" which is just the same thing...
