NEW QUESTION:

$Find $\int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{\text{ d}x}{x{\sqrt{x^2+2x-1}}}$$

EASIER METHOD:

$Use the substitution $u = \frac{1}{x}$ to get $\int_{0}^{1} \frac{\text{ d}u}{\sqrt{2-(u-1)^2}}$ which becomes easier to evaluate.$

Thanks!

Next Question:

$\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\sec(x)}{2+\sin^2(x)} dx$

$$ Let u = $ sinx$

$du= cosx dx$

$\int{\frac{du}{(1-u^2)(2+u^2)}}$

$use partial fractions from here on...$

Look at my Latex and notice i started a new tex eveytime i needed a new line and how i left a gap between them aswell..

I tried this substitution got halfway and said "ceebs"

$I_n = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}}{\frac{1-cos(2nx)}{sin(2x)}}$

$i) $ Show that for r $ > $ 0$

$a) I_{2r+1} -I_{2r-1}=\frac{1-(-1)^r}{2r}$

$b) I_{2r}-I_{2r-2}= \frac{1}{2r-1}$

$b) I_{2r}-I_{2r-2}= \frac{1}{2r-1}$

$a) I_{2r+1} -I_{2r-1}=\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}}{\frac{1-cos(4rx+2x)}{sin(2x)}} - \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}}{\frac{1-cos(4rx-2x)}{sin(2x)}}$

$\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}}{\frac{cos(4rx-2x)-cos(4rx+2x)}{sin(2x)}} = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}}{\frac{2sin(4rx)sin(2x)}{sin(2x)}}$

$= \left[-\frac{cos(4rx)}{2r} \right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} = \frac{1-(-1)^r}{2r}$

$b) I_n = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}}{\frac{1-cos(2nx)}{sin(2x)}} = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}}{\frac{sin^{2}(nx)}{sin(x)cos(x)}}$

$I_{2r}-I_{2r-2}=\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}}{\frac{sin^{2}(2rx)}{sin(x)cos(x)}} - {\frac{sin^{2}((2r-2)x)}{sin(x)cos(x)}}$

$=\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}}{\frac{(sin(2rx)-sin((2r-2)x))\times(sin(2rx)+sin((2r-2)x)) }{sin(x)cos(x)}}$

$=\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{4sin(2rx-x)cos(x)\times \cos(2rx-x)sin(x)}{sin(x)cos(x)} = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} 2\sin(2x(2r-1))$

$=\left[-\frac{\cos(2x(2r-1))}{2r-1} \right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} = \frac{1}{2r-1}$

I just want to make sure everyone realises that in an exam you can't just quote the formula you have used.
The result would have to be derived.

Yep. For this one,
sin(a+b) = sinacosb + sinbcosa
sin(a-b) = sinacosb - sinbcosa
Subtracting, sin(a+b) - sin(a-b) = 2sinbcosa
Sub b = 2x and a = 3x

Because e^x < 3 for all x in that domain of integration.

Re: MX2 2015 Integration Marathon

I've seen this question before in a past paper I think...

$a)\quad { I }_{ n }\quad =\quad \int _{ 0 }^{ 1 }{ { \left( 1-{ x }^{ 2 } \right) }^{ n }dx\quad } \\ ={ \left[ { x\left( 1-{ x }^{ 2 } \right) }^{ n } \right] }_{ 0 }^{ 1 }-\int _{ 0 }^{ 1 }{ { x\cdot \left( -2x \right) n\left( 1-{ x }^{ 2 } \right) }^{ n-1 }dx\quad } \\ =\left( { 1\left( 1-{ 1 }^{ 2 } \right) }^{ n }-{ 0\left( 1-0^{ 2 } \right) }^{ n } \right) \quad +\quad 2n\int _{ 0 }^{ 1 }{ { x }^{ 2 } } { \left( 1-{ x }^{ 2 } \right) }^{ n-1 }dx\\ =2n{ J }_{ n-1 }$

$b)\quad However:\\ 2n\int _{ 0 }^{ 1 }{ { x }^{ 2 } } { \left( 1-{ x }^{ 2 } \right) }^{ n-1 }dx\\ =-2n\int _{ 0 }^{ 1 }{ -{ x }^{ 2 } } { \left( 1-{ x }^{ 2 } \right) }^{ n-1 }dx\\ =-2n\left( \int _{ 0 }^{ 1 }{ \left( 1-{ x }^{ 2 } \right) } { \left( 1-{ x }^{ 2 } \right) }^{ n-1 }dx\quad -\quad \int _{ 0 }^{ 1 }{ 1 } { \left( 1-{ x }^{ 2 } \right) }^{ n-1 }dx \right) \\ =-2n\int _{ 0 }^{ 1 }{ { \left( 1-{ x }^{ 2 } \right) }^{ n } } dx\quad +\quad 2n\int _{ 0 }^{ 1 }{ { \left( 1-{ x }^{ 2 } \right) }^{ n-1 } } dx$
$\therefore { I }_{ n }=-2n{ I }_{ n }+2n{ I }_{ n-1 }\\ (2n+1){ I }_{ n }=2n{ I }_{ n-1 }\\ { I }_{ n }=\frac { 2n }{ 2n+1 } { I }_{ n-1 }$

$c)\quad { J }_{ n }=\int _{ 0 }^{ 1 }{ { x }^{ 2 }{ \left( 1-{ x }^{ 2 } \right) }^{ n }dx } \\ =-\int _{ 0 }^{ 1 }{ { \left( 1-{ x }^{ 2 } \right) }{ \left( 1-{ x }^{ 2 } \right) }^{ n }dx } +\int _{ 0 }^{ 1 }{ { 1 }{ \left( 1-{ x }^{ 2 } \right) }^{ n }dx } \\ =\int _{ 0 }^{ 1 }{ { \left( 1-{ x }^{ 2 } \right) }^{ n }dx } -\int _{ 0 }^{ 1 }{ { \left( 1-{ x }^{ 2 } \right) }^{ n+1 }dx } \\ ={ I }_{ n }-{ I }_{ n+1 }$

$From\quad b)\quad { I }_{ n+1 }=\frac { 2(n+1) }{ 2(n+1)+1 } { I }_{ n }\\ =\frac { 2n+2 }{ 2n+3 } { I }_{ n }\\ \therefore { J }_{ n }=\frac { 2n+3 }{ 2n+3 } { I }_{ n }-\frac { 2n+2 }{ 2n+3 } { I }_{ n }\\ =\frac { 1 }{ 2n+3 } { I }_{ n }$

$d){ J }_{ n }=\frac { 2n }{ 2n+3 } { J }_{ n-1 }\quad \quad using\quad a)$
