The Integral of e^[sec(pi*t)]sec(pi*t)tan(pi*t)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large \color{#000000}{\displaystyle\int\limits_{~}^{~} e^{\sec (\pi t)}\sec (\pi t)\tan (\pi t) ~dt}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle \frac{ d }{dt}\sec(at)=a\sec(at)\tan(at) }\) (using the chain rule) ... correct??

OpenStudy (anthonyn2121):

I worked through the problem, but the answer in the book is \[(1/\pi)e^(\sec \pi*t)\]

OpenStudy (anthonyn2121):

And I just got \[e^(\sec \pi*t)\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

How did you get that, can you show me your work?

OpenStudy (anthonyn2121):

Well the derivative of e^x is just e^x

OpenStudy (anthonyn2121):

and then I used the chain rule on sec(pi*t)

OpenStudy (anthonyn2121):

My problem is finding where the (1/pi) came from

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

What is the derivative of sec(π•t) ?

OpenStudy (anthonyn2121):

sec(pi*t)tan(pi*t)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

tnope, you forgot the chain rule for π

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

for pi t

OpenStudy (anthonyn2121):

Oh I forgot. Thanks so much. Chain rule always gets me

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

:)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

So, basically: (I'll use x) \( \color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle \int e^{\sec \pi x} \sec(\pi x)\tan(\pi x)~dx }\) \( \color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle \int \left(\frac{1}{\pi}\times \pi\right)e^{\sec \pi x} \sec(\pi x)\tan(\pi x)~dx }\) \(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle \frac{1}{\pi}\int e^{\sec \pi x} [ \pi \sec(\pi x)\tan(\pi x)]~dx }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

then either u-substitution u=sec(π•x), or "recognize the derivative" which is just the same thing...
