The 2015 one still has some unanswered ones.

Then lets post them here, as the other one will most likely be archived

$Here are two currently unanswered ones from the user juantheron:$

$(1)\;\; Evaluation of $\int_{0}^{\pi}\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+\sin^3 x}}((3\pi \cos x+4\sin x)\sin^2 x+4)dx =$

$(3)\;\; If $F(n) = \int\frac{x^n}{e^x}dx\;,$ Then value of Definite Integral $\int_{2}^{5}\left[e^{\int\frac{F(1)}{F(2)}dx}\right]^2dx=$

Re: MX2 2016 Integration Marathon

I really couldn't be bothered doing the general case but I feel as though if I didn't treat c1=c2=0 things would've gone haywire. C3 doesn't seem as problematic though

Edit: So if we sub in the full integral and keep C3 there, our final result (using index laws) is going to be 66 * e^(C3), so we can just say the final answer is 66A for some positive arbitrary constant A.

Wolfram Alpha cannot evaluate the general case. I assume if one exists, it requires higher order functions found in real and complex analysis. So the question should be restated as...

$(3)\;\; If $F(n) = \int_0^x \frac{x^n}{e^x}dx\;,$ Then value of Definite Integral $\int_{2}^{5}\left[e^{\int\frac{F(1)}{F(2)}dx}\right]^2dx=$

Anyway, my solution to 1.

$I = \int_0^{\pi} \frac{x}{\sqrt{1+\sin^3{x}}}\left ( 3\pi \cos{x} \sin^2{x} + 4\sin^3{x} + 4 \right )$

$$Consider $I_1 = \int_0^{\pi} \frac{x}{\sqrt{1+\sin^3{x}}} \left ( 3\pi \cos{x} \sin^2{x} \right ) dx$

$I_1 = \int_0^{\pi} \frac{\pi x d\left (1+\sin^3{x}\right )}{\sqrt{1+\sin^3{x}}} = \int_0^{\pi} 2\pi x d \left ( \sqrt{1+\sin^3{x}} \right )$

$$Using IBP, we get $ I_1 = \left [ 2\pi x\sqrt{1+\sin^3{x}}\right ] _0^{\pi} - 4 \int_0^{\pi} \frac{\pi}{2} \sqrt{1+\sin^3{x}} dx$

$I_1 = 2 \pi^2 - 4 \int_0^{\pi} \frac{\pi}{2} \sqrt{1+\sin^3{x}} dx$

$Substituting this back into $ I $, we have$

$I = 4 \int_0^{\pi} x \frac{1+\sin^3{x}}{\sqrt{1+\sin^3{x}}} dx - 4 \int_0^{\pi} \frac{\pi}{2} \sqrt{1+\sin^3{x}} dx + 2\pi^2$

$I = 4\int_0^{\pi} \left ( x - \frac{\pi}{2} \right ) \sqrt{1+ \sin^3{x}}dx + 2\pi^2 = 4\int_0^{\pi} \left (\frac{\pi}{2}-x \right ) \sqrt{1+ \sin^3{x}}dx + 2\pi^2$ (Symmetric border flipping)$$

$\therefore I = 2\pi^2$

Re: MX2 2016 Integration Marathon

I'll get around to treating F(n) as that definite integral later. Anyway, hopefully some (non-accelerated...

) 2016ers will show up.

Oh, the definite form is identical to assuming the constants of integration are zero. It was just me editing the problem to fit your solution.

Technically I'm not accelerated so....

$I = \int x^3 \sqrt{x^2 + 1}dx = \int x \left ( x^2 + 1 \right )\sqrt{x^2 + 1} dx - \int x\sqrt{x^2 + 1} dx$

$= \frac{1}{2}\int d\left (x^2 +1 \right ) \left ( x^2 +1 \right )^{\frac{3}{2}} dx - \frac{1}{2}\int d\left (x^2 +1 \right ) \left ( x^2 +1 \right )^{\frac{1}{2}} dx$

The rest is done by substitution, yielding

$\left ( x^2 + 1 \right )\sqrt{x^2 +1}\left ( \frac{3x^2 -2}{15} \right ) + C$

Are you doing your hsc in 2016, but have been tutored a year ahead?

The tutoring helps with content digestion, but not with problem solving skills. I almost exclusively never use any of Truong's techniques. And if I do, that's because I see no other way, or am unaware of it.

Re: MX2 2016 Integration Marathon

Apart from the accelerated kids, pretty much none of us are up to integration, so hoping that some of the 2016ers will answer is a little ambitious (unless of course some it's just harder 3u)

Integration is just backwards differentiation
Edit: crap didn't realise this was mx2 territory

Re: MX2 2016 Integration Marathon

I'm trying to keep the difficulty low for now. I'll increase it in February.

$\int { \sqrt { x } { e }^{ \sqrt { x } }dx }$

Most of these integrals should be doable with textbook browsing.

$\begin{align*}\text{Let } u^2 = x \Longleftrightarrow dx = 2udu\\\int{\sqrt{x}e^{\sqrt{x}}dx}&=2\int{u^2e^udu}\\ &= 2(u^2e^u-2\int{ue^udu}) \text{ (By integration by parts)}\\ &= 2(u^2e^u - 2(ue^u-e^u))+C \text{ (By integration by parts)}\\ &= 2e^u(u^2-2u+2) + C\\ &= 2e^{\sqrt{x}}(x-2\sqrt{x}+2) + C\end{align*}$

NEXT QUESTION:
$\int{xe^{x}\sin{x}dx}$

why must you taunt me?

$$Let $\tan{u} = x - \cos{\theta}$

$The integral is now similar to that of secant cubed, which can be done using IBP or reduction.$

Not intentional haha

That substitution requires a constant in front of it, otherwise we can't simplify it to eliminate the square-root

$Let $x = \sin{\theta}\tan{u}+\cos{\theta}\\$Our integral becomes $ \sin^2{\theta}\int_{-\tan^{-1}{(\cot{\theta})}}^{\tan^{-1}{(\cot{\theta})}}{\sec^3{u}du}\\$Since $ \sec^3{u} $ is an even function, our integral can be rewritten as $ 2\sin^2{\theta}\int_0^{\tan^{-1}{\cot{\theta}}}{\sec^3{u} d u}\\$This can then be evaluated using integration by parts, and simplified by using trigonometric identities.$

It's good if you're not willing to put the work to understand the syllabus content for mathematics, since he makes a lot of things one-size fits all techniques. This doesn't really help me though, as I consider everything on a case-by-case basis.
