Simple question about intergation
Part 2
The question is of 2 marks so not a lot of working is required for the second part

My approach: 1) First, work out the bounds of A 2) u = sin2x => du = 2cos2x dx 3) (ii) would very much make use the answer for (I)
I know that I just dont know how to use it @Kira_Yamato
Ok we'll start off with step (1): We can easily say that either sin x = 0 or cos x = 0 (0 < x < pi/2) x = 0 or pi/2 (i.e. the region A is bound by x-coordinates 0 and pi/2) Acceptable to this point?
Yes
Next?
u = sin 2x => x = 0.5 arcsin u => \[dx = \frac{du}{1 - \sqrt(1-x^2)}\]
Can you just use the answers from part i
Ok that's possible as well: \[u^2 (1-u^2) = \frac{10}{3}\] \[u^4 - u^2 + \frac{10}{3} = 0\] You can solve it as a quadratic equation in u^2
Its a two mark question
Are we done with the first part? What did \(A\) come out to be?
1/24
Yes, that's correct. You should notice that \(|\sin^3 2x \cos^3 2x|\) is PERIODIC with period \(x = \pi/4\). We found that\[\int_{0}^{\pi/4}\sin^3 2x \cos^3 2xdx = \int_{0}^{\pi/4} |\sin^3 2x \cos^3 2x| dx = A \]In that case\[40A = \int_{0}^{\color{red}{40}\cdot \pi/4} |\sin^3 2x \cos^3 2x| dx\]
Wait a minute how are you so sure that multiplying the area by 40 will also multiply the limit by 40 too
Well, it's periodic, isn't it? Look at it like this:\[\int_{0}^{\pi/4} |\sin^3 2x \cos^3 2x| dx =\int_{n\pi/4}^{(n+1) \pi/4} |\sin^3 2x \cos^3 2x| dx\]
What do you mean by periodic? That the area after each pi/4 is same
The best way, though, is the graph.|dw:1463326382610:dw|
