Help me PLS...

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

I made a mistake somewhere.... lol

Nnesha (nnesha):

hmmm \[\tan^2 \theta =\sec^\color{Red}{2}\theta -1 \] correct ??

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Oh yea.....

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

But then i get backed to where i started.... Eh

Nnesha (nnesha):

the identity wouldn't work for sec^3 theta trickyyyy question

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Wait... can this work?

Nnesha (nnesha):

are you going to post something ???

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Yea sorry.

Nnesha (nnesha):

oh okay cool take ur time :=))

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Nnesha (nnesha):

after using the identity you still get sec^3 but you have to do u sub there first and then sub in theta value

Nnesha (nnesha):

wait that looks good gimme a sec plz :D

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Okay :3

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Oh i think my professor solved \[\int\limits \sec^3 x dx\] using Integration by parts.

Nnesha (nnesha):

i just did this question last week and now i totally forgot but i do remember we have to do u sub at the end that will give us same thing (Sec^3) and then we have to add (integral sec^3theta) both sides something like that hmm\[\int\limits_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \sec \theta + \int\limits_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \sec^3 \theta\]

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Like this?

Nnesha (nnesha):

yeahhh _-_ and there is 81 so make sure you distribute that

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Oh yea. thanks

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

I think i did something wrong.... This is so messy.

Nnesha (nnesha):

you forgot to distribute the numerator by 81 and there is sign error

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Huh. Where? D:

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[81 \int\limits_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \sec^3 \theta ~~d \theta \]\[81 \int\limits_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} sec \theta ~~~sec^2 \theta ~~d \theta \]\[81 \int\limits_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} sec \theta ~~~\color{Red}{sec^2 \theta} ~~d \theta \] \[u= \sec \theta ~~~~ du= \sec \theta ~\tan \theta ~d \theta\] \[dv = \sec^2 \theta ~~~~ v= \tan \theta \] \[81[ secx \tan x - \int\limits_{ }^{}\tan( \sec x \tan x) d \theta]\]\[81 [\sec x \tan x -(\int\limits_{ }^{} \sec^3 x -\sec x d \theta)]\] i'm using x for theta( i'm tired typing 5 letter word lol

OpenStudy (loser66):

good job @Nnesha

OpenStudy (loser66):

put the limits in, please

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[81 [\sec x \tan x -(\int\limits_{ }^{} \sec^3 x -\sec x)]\] \[81[\sec x \tan x + \int\limits_{ }^{} \sec x - \int\limits_{ }^{} \sec^3 x d \theta)] \] distribute by 81 \[81 \sec x \tan x + 81 \ln \left| \sec x + \tan x \right| - 81 \int\limits_{ }^{} \sec^2 \theta d \theta\] and ofcourse from 0 to pi/4 i'm too lazy .. and the headache is killing me

Nnesha (nnesha):

thanks Loser66 :=))

OpenStudy (seratul):

Is this calc? Seems like a lotttta work

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

that last sec is cubed right?

OpenStudy (loser66):

oh...................no!!

Nnesha (nnesha):

ohh yeahh sec^3 theta dtheta

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Yea its Calc 2 @Seratul

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

@Loser66 ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

and i hope that's correct sid if not then... oh well

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Haha no worries. Thanks for trying :P

OpenStudy (loser66):

you are correct until \(81\int_0^{\pi/4} sec^3 x dx\)

OpenStudy (loser66):

Now, just sec^3 x dx let u = sec x, du = sec tan , dv = sec^2 dx, v = tan x hence you have \[81\int_0^{\pi/4}= sec xtanx|0^{\pi/4}-\int_0^{\pi/4}secx tan^2xdx\]

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Sorry, I am just trying to process all this. My brain feel really dead right now... lol

OpenStudy (loser66):

multiple both sides by 81/82, you get what you want.

OpenStudy (loser66):

oh, too many experts here. hehehe. I should shut up.

Nnesha (nnesha):

but still have to use the triangle right ??

OpenStudy (loser66):

I don't think so. No need. I just use algebraic way, not geometric way to solve it.

Nnesha (nnesha):

yeah but there is sec theta + tan theta we have to replace that with the values ?? sec x= sqrt{X^2+81}/9 and tan x= x/9

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

I am lost as to where you go \[\frac{ 2 }{ \sqrt{2} }\]

OpenStudy (loser66):

sec x tan x from 0 to pi/4= sec (pi/4) tan(pi/4)- sec (0) tan (0) = 2/sqrt2

OpenStudy (loser66):

OpenStudy (loser66):

I may make mistake at somewhere, but you got the idea!! hehehe... check it.

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Lol okay... xD

Nnesha (nnesha):
