Lol so simple, can't believe no one got it before

yeah, i knew it was a substitution

but didn't do the first step

Re: MX2 Integration Marathon

Find a recursion relation for the following sequence of integrals:

$I_n=\int e^x \sin^n(x) \, dx$

where n is a non-negative integer.

Hence evaluate $I_5$ .

edit:

abecina said:
$\int \frac{\sin^{-1} \sqrt{x} -\cos^{-1} \sqrt{x}}{\sin^{-1} \sqrt{x} +\cos^{-1} \sqrt{x}} dx$

use the fact that:

$\sin^{-1}\left ( \theta \right ) + \cos^{-1} \left ( \theta \right ) = \frac{\pi}{2}$

so

$\begin{align*}I &=\int \frac{\sin^{-1} \left ( \sqrt{x} \right ) - \cos^{-1} \left ( \sqrt{x} \right )}{\sin^{-1} \left ( \sqrt{x} \right ) + \cos^{-1} \left ( \sqrt{x} \right )} \, \mathrm{d}x\\&=\frac{2}{\pi} \int 2\sin^{-1}\left (\sqrt{x} \right ) - \frac{\pi}{2} \, \mathrm{d}x\end{align*}$

then use substitution, parts, etc.
I can't be bothered.

$\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \ln (1+\tan x)dx$

Nooblet94 said:
$\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \ln (1+\tan x)dx$

$\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi }{4}}ln(1+tan(\frac{\pi }{4}-x))$

Now, note that:

$tan(\frac{\pi }{4}-x)=\frac{sin(\frac{\pi }{4}-x)}{cos(\frac{\pi }{4}-x)}=\frac{sin(\frac{\pi }{4})cos(x)-cos(\frac{\pi }{4})sin(x)}{cos(\frac{\pi }{4})cos(x)+sin(\frac{\pi }{4})sin(x)}=\frac{cos(x)-sin(x)}{cos(x)+sin(x)}=\frac{1-tan(x)}{1+tan(x)}$

therefore our integral can be written as $\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi }{4}}ln\left ( 1+\frac{1-tan(x)}{1+tan(x)} \right )=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi }{4}}ln\left (\frac{2}{1+tan(x)} \right )=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi }{4}}ln(2)-ln(1+tan(x))$

therefore $\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi }{4}}ln\left ( 1+tan(x))dx=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi }{4}}\frac{ln(2)}{2}=\frac{\pi ln(2)}{8}$

EDIT: LOL FORGOT TO INTEGRATE.

$tan(\frac{\pi }{4}-x)=\frac{sin(\frac{\pi }{4}-x)}{cos(\frac{\pi }{4}-x)}=\frac{sin(\frac{\pi }{4})cos(x)-cos(\frac{\pi }{4})sin(x)}{cos(\frac{\pi }{4})cos(x)+sin(\frac{\pi }{4})sin(x)}=\frac{cos(x)-sin(x)}{cos(x)+sin(x)}=\frac{1-tan(x)}{1+tan(x)}$

therefore our integral can be written as $\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi }{4}}ln\left ( 1+\frac{1-tan(x)}{1+tan(x)} \right )=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi }{4}}ln\left (\frac{2}{1+tan(x)} \right )=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi }{4}}ln(2)-ln(1+tan(x))$

therefore $\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi }{4}}ln\left ( 1+tan(x))dx=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi }{4}}\frac{ln(2)}{2}=\frac{\pi }{4}ln(2)$

Fixed!

my solution is mathematically correct, i don't care if it's wrong

lol you forgot to integrate!

$\int^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_{0} \ln(2) \, \mathrm{d}x = \frac{\pi}{4}\ln(2)$

which gives the correct answer

here is a really difficult one:

$\int^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_{0} \frac{x}{\tan(x)} \, \mathrm{d}x$

good luck

i'm not particularly 'good' at 4u but correct me if i'm wrong in saying that:

tan x DOES NOT EQUAL tan( pi/4 - x )?

rather it equals tan ( pi/2 - x )

is the answer: pi/2 ?

sorry, nope
(although interested to know your method)

s/he's using properties of definite integrals, namely

$\int^a_0 f(x) \, \mathrm{d}x = \int^a_0 f(a-x) \, \mathrm{d}x$

also tan(pi/2 - x) = cot(x)

Definite integral property.

$\int^a_0 f(x) dx = \int^a_0 f(a - x)dx$

If you wish to prove, let u = a - x for LHS and proceed.

$\int^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0 \frac{x}{tanx}dx$

$= \int^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0 xcotxdx$

$= [xln|sinx|]^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0 - \int^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0 ln|sinx|dx$

Now IIRC, that second integral is easily done by 2 applications of IBP and rearrangements.

D: i just realised its undefined at x = 0.. L'Hopital's rule?
