Go back to before you used a trigonometric substitution. Try something else. Technically, your t substitution will work, but I'd rather not go through three different substitutions.

I got lost right after my first instinct of s^2=u^2+...

Not sure what else to use actually. s=u+2 felt like it was doing nothing.

Have you tried by parts?

No idea at all what to integrate in IBP. :/

I can interpret that as you just found out the answer so very quickly, or you tried by parts and got you nowhere. Please collapse the wavefunction.

Lol I thought I had an epiphany but nope.

Edit: >_>.....or did I

Screw it lol. Someone put me out of my agony I can't integrate today.

Are you sure that there exists a nice elementary primitive? Check wherever you got this question from.

If so, post it. If you don't, it's safe to assume that you're just trying to waste our times with a question that cannot be done.

So please post the expression


Thanks, Mumen Rider

Hmm... It seems the answer is not as nice as I had anticipated... This may take some time.

Yes, an elementary form exists. Three logs and a square root.

And to compound matters, LaTeX doesn't seem to be working on the site right now.

Re: MX2 2016 Integration Marathon

Yeah, I would probably just resort to t-substitution after reaching the trig form of sec^3(s)/(1+tan(s)).

You are guaranteed success, it's just not an interesting / enlightening process.

I briefly tried some other things like the analogous hyperbolic trig route instead, but couldn't see anything nicer.

Re: MX2 2016 Integration Marathon

If only the original integrand just had 3x^2. That would've made it a lot easier.

I've got a solution that involves introducing the t substitution later. I'm typing it up but I can't even know if my typesetting is correct because codecogs servers are down.

Yeah keep dreaming m9

Pls I can do what I want.

Yeah, there are a few different ways / times to do it. I don't think any of them will be significantly faster than all of the others though, its pretty much preference.
