Re: MX2 2016 Integration Marathon

$let $I = \int\frac{1}{\left(x+\sqrt{x^2-1}\right)^{2}}dx$\;, Now put $(x+\sqrt{x^2-1}) = t\;,$

$Then $(x+\sqrt{x^2-1}) dx = \sqrt{x^2-1}dt$

$Now Using $(x+\sqrt{x^2-1})\cdot (x-\sqrt{x^2-1})=1 \;,$ Then $(x-\sqrt{x^2-1}) =\frac{1}{t}$

$So we get $\sqrt{x^2-1} = \frac{1}{2}\left(t-\frac{1}{t}\right) = \frac{t^2-1}{2t}$

$So $I = \frac{1}{2}\int \frac{t^2-1}{t^3}dt = \frac{1}{2}\ln |t|+\frac{1}{4}t^2+\mathcal{C}$

$So $I = \frac{1}{2}\ln \left|x+\sqrt{x^2-1}\right|+\frac{1}{4}\cdot \frac{1}{\left(x+\sqrt{x^2-1}\right)^2}+\mathcal{C}$

integral of (cos x ) / (2 - cos x )

$\noindent We have$

$\begin{align*}\mathcal{I}:= \int \frac{\cos x}{2-\cos x }\text{ d}x &= -\int \frac{\cos x}{\cos x -2}\text{ d}x \\ &= -\int \frac{\cos x-2+2}{\cos x -2}\text{ d}x \\&= -\int \left(1+\frac{2}{\cos x -2} \right)\text{ d}x \\ &= -x - 2\int \frac{1}{\cos x -2}\text{ d}x. \end{align*}$

$\noindent This last integral can be done in a variety of ways, e.g. by using the substitution $t=\tan \frac{x}{2}$.$

Your solution to your problem isn't correct, and it's not the same as what Drsoccerball posted.

As for omegadot's question...

My euler substitution refuses to work.

$\noindent $\frac{X\cos^2{\theta} + Y\sin^2{\theta} + Z\sin{\theta} \cos{\theta}}{a\cos{\theta}+b\sin{\theta}} \equiv p\cos{\theta}+q\sin{\theta}+\frac{r}{a\cos{\theta}+b\sin{\theta}} \\ $The above identity holds true for all fixed $\{a,b,X,Y,Z\} \in \mathbb{R}$, with $\{p,q,r\} \in \mathbb{R}$ all variable, subject to restrictions on the denominator.$ \\ $a) By combining the expression on the right hand side, determine $p,q,r$ in terms of $a,b,X,Y,Z$. (Hint: $\cos^2{\theta}+\sin^2{\theta}\equiv 1) \\$b) Given $a^2+b^2=c^2$, evaluate $\int \frac{X\cos^2{\theta} + Y\sin^2{\theta} + Z\sin{\theta} \cos{\theta}}{a\cos{\theta}+b\sin{\theta}} $d$ \theta \\ $The final condition just makes the auxiliary transformation nice, so there's nothing special about it.$

You should learn Latex

$\int{\frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2+2x-1}}}dx$

Press "reply with Quote" to see what I typed.

$\noindent Complete the square, so the quantity inside the radical becomes $(x+1)^2 -2$. So the answer is $\ln \left(x+1 +\sqrt{(x+1)^2 -2}\right) + C = \ln \left(x+1 +\sqrt{x^2 + 2x-1\right) + C$, using the standard integrals sheet from past HSC papers.$

I have a bad feeling that (x+1)=tan(theta) is now required.

But yeah it does seem like he took a question out of a past paper so whatever

Im left with :

$\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{(x+\frac{1}{x})^2+1} + \ln{(x+\frac{1}{x} +\sqrt{(x+\frac{1}{x})^2+1}})-\int{\frac{\sqrt{u^2+1}du}{u+1}})$

$$ Where -u $ = (x+\frac{1}{x})$

$Which is a non-elementary integral.$
