Re: MX2 Integration Marathon

$I=\int e^{\cot x+2\ln (\csc x)} dx\\ = \int e^{\cot x} \cdot e^{\ln(\csc^2x)}dx \\ = \int e^{\cot x} \csc^2x dx\\ $NB: $ \frac{d}{dx}\cot x = -\csc^2x \Rightarrow -d(\cot x)=\csc^2x dx \\ \Longrightarrow I= -\int e^{\cot x} \cdot d(\cot x)\\=-e^{\cot x} + \text{(Sy's face), (Sy's face) constant}$

lol nice! but why Sy's face? xD

$\\ \int_0^{\pi/2} \frac{dx}{1+ \tan^{\pi}(x)} = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{dx}{1+\tan^{n}(x)} \\\\ $ where $ n $ is over 9000.$$

$NB: $ \arccos x + \arcsin x=\pi/2\\ \Rightarrow \arccos(-x)+\arcsin(-x)=\pi/2\\ \Rightarrow \arccos(-x)-\arcsin(x)=\pi/2 $ since arcsin is odd.$ \\ I=\int \arccos(-x)-\pi -\arcsin(x) dx\\=\int (\pi/2-\pi)dx\\ =\int -\pi/2 dx\\ = -\frac{\pi}{2}x+$pandas$

Question:

Yep, good job.

=======

By simplifying the integral and using inverse trig rules, we end up with -pi/2 x + C

======

$\int_0^a \frac{dx}{x+\sqrt{x^2-a^2}}$

Hence integrate:

$Let$ $I = \int_{0}^{1} cot^{-1}(x)dx$

$Let$ $u=cot^{-1}x, du=\frac{-1}{1+x^{2}}dx, dv=dx, v=x$

$\therefore I = \frac{\pi }{4}+ln(\sqrt{2})$

$\int_0^{\pi/2}x\cot(x)\, dx$

its been done earlier in this thread, but if you resist the temptation to look at the solution it is a very good question.

$\int_0^a \frac{dx}{x+\sqrt{x^2-a^2}}$

$Assuming$ $a^{2}<x^{2}:$

$\int_0^a \frac{dx}{x+\sqrt{x^2-a^2}}\times \frac{x-\sqrt{x^2-a^2}}{x-\sqrt{x^2-a^2}}$

$=\frac{1}{a^{2}}\int_0^a x-\frac{1}{a^{2}}\int_0^a\sqrt{x^2-a^2}dx$

$=\frac{x^{2}}{2a^{2}}-\frac{x}{2a^{2}}\sqrt{x^2-a^{2}}-2 ln(\sqrt{x^2-a^{2}}+x)+C$

Looks like a hard integral. I did IBP and got $\frac{1}{2}\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi }{2}}x^{2} cosec^{2}x dx$ which doesn't really help.

Re: MX2 Integration Marathon

It is quite tricky, probably one of the hardest in this thread that doesn't require out of syllabus techniques.

I wanted you to use the previous result, since:

$tan^{-1}x + cot^{-1}x = \frac{\pi}{2}$

$\int_{0}^{1}cot^{-1}xdx = \frac{\pi}{2} - \int_{0}^{1} tan^{-1}xdx$

And you know the value of the integral on the RHS already.
