Re: MX2 2016 Integration Marathon

Something must've went wrong to get the negative answer but I'm too tired to check.

1/sec(x) = cos(x), not cosec(x)?

Re: MX2 2016 Integration Marathon

Found my mistake, in the last page line 3, the pi/2 ln(2) should be negative. Hence at the end pi/2 ln(2) is positive.

Otherwise, yay wolfram alpha agrees!

Tedious, Messy, Unsimplifiable, and did not come with a bobcat. Would not buy/try again.

Is this just a typo (and doesn't affect the rest of the working)? (The second fraction on the R.H.S. is just 0.) Ceebs carefully reading through the whole thing haha.

Yep the second term on the numerator is just 3/2, changed, (didn't affect rest of the working)

Can I just give the 16'ers something at a reasonable difficulty...

$\\ \int { \sin ^{ 6 }{ x } \cos ^{ 6 }{ x } dx }$

Hint: Double and Triple Angle identities.

Triple angle identity is the clever way to finish the integral. But in the scope of the 4U course unless they ask for it to be derived first using compound angles, the 4U approach to sin^3 is using a Pythagorean identity instead

Or you can create a reduction formula for $\int sin^n(\theta)d\theta$

Boring. I didn't even say to do one

Nah but to the 16ers that is appropriate.

On the other hand, fun
--------------------------------
$\int_0^1 \frac{x^4(1-x)^4}{1+x^2}\, dx $ and hence show that 22/7 $> \pi$

Your integral should be

$\int_0^1 \frac{x^4(1-x)^4}{1+x^2}\, dx.$

Will leave this for a current student to do though.
