Umm ...... log 0 and log 1 are a bit of a problem ....

It works on wolfram giving a definite answer

Re: MX2 2015 Integration Marathon

Is there a method of doing it such that it is still within the bounds of the MX2 syllabus?

$\int_{0}^{6} $ (6-x) $ \sqrt {12x - x^{2}}$

$$Let u=$12x-x^2 \therefore du=(12-2x)dx$

$$Hence: $ \int_{0}^{36} \frac{\sqrt{u}}{2} = [\frac{\sqrt{u^3}}{3}]_{0}^{36} =72$

Ahahahahaha [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]

But.. ignoring the boundaries.. is it possible to find the primitive with only mx2 knowledge? I'm stuck :/

So am I, I feel like it uses uni maths....

Its a university question yes

let u = sin(x)

then we get integral[ sqrt(1 + u) ]

= (2/3)*(sin(x) +1)^(3/2)

You made a slight mistake, it is says cot(x), not cos(x) so u = sin(x) won't necessarily work as a valid substitution.

oops, my bad

I got log(sin(x)) + 2*sqrt(sin(x))

NEW QUESTION:

$Evaluate $\int \sqrt{1+\sin(x)}\cot(x)dx$$

$$ let $ u=1+sinx$
$du=cosx dx$

$\int{\frac{\sqrt{u}}{u-1}}du$

$$ Triangle with sides $ : 1,u^{1/2}, \sqrt{-(u-1)}$

$\frac{-1}{cos^2\theta} = u-1$

$tan\theta = \sqrt{u}$

$2tan\theta sec^2\theta d\theta =du$

$\therefore = \int{-2(sec^2\theta -1)}d\theta$

$-2 tan\theta +2\theta + C$

$-2 \sqrt{1+ sinx} +2tan^{-1} (\sqrt{1+sinx}}) + C$

Invalid split of partial fractions. You can test it out by converging the two fractions together, and you wont get the original equation.

How did you get from 2nd to 3rd line?

I think this way is faster.. or maybe i just dont like drawing triangles..

let u^2=1+sin^2.... make cot(x)=cos(x)/sin(x)... the you can simply put in the 2udu... it all falls out after that
