    I think my professor summed up integration in a nice way. He said differentiation is all about technique. You see a scenario and have a set of rules you then follow. Integration is a form of art. It's much more intricate and delicate.

    I passed my semester of Calc 1! I did not fully understand everything but I believe I got a strong majority of it & I will be working on some of my weaknesses during break to prepare for Calc 2. For some reason when we got to U-substitution, everyone was confused but it seemed to make sense to me just based off the few example she gave in class and somehow that was all I needed. Anyway, so during last class before our final, she did a little review & answered questions. Someone asked about this sqrt(tanx) and she was like "oh you cant solve this with your current toolset, wait till next semester" and I was like "I can solve it" because I had all this false confidence from having understood the whole U-sub stuff. Well turns out this is a VERY difficult one lol. I guess if you are a student and want to be prepared for integrals, just spend a week studying just THIS one integral and you should be good to go lol.

    Slightly more straightforward (although much longer/messier): Factor x^4 + 1 = (x^2 + sqrt(2)x+1)(x^2 - sqrt(2)x+1), then do partial fractions, complete the square in the denominators and solve. This saves you from having to figure out the trick where you add 1/u^2 and subtract 1/u^2.

  • @morganthem
    @morganthem 7 лет назад +26

    So...
    u substitute for fx
    Square u = sqrt (tanx).
    See that 2udu = sec^2(x) dx.
    Squaring u^2 = tanx gives us tan^2(x) = sec^2 (x) -1 = u^4 which we can see as sec^2 (x) = u^4 + 1.
    Thus dx = 2udu/u^4 + 1.
    Plug in original equation to have integral of u*(2u/u^4 + 1)du.
    Multiply top and bottom by 1/u^2 to get complex fraction with sum of squares in denominator.
    Complete the square to get (u + 1/u)^2 - 2, which has derivative of inside equal to 1 - 1/(u)^2.
    Now we want two integrals (why? it is not clear unless you see the tanh^-1 and tan^-1 option coming up), one with 1 - 1/(u)^2 in numerator and other with 1 + 1/(u)^2 in our numerator.
    Because the completed square can have two forms we can have the appropriate denominators to do two more substitutions, this time with t and say w.
    If we do the substitutions correctly we have two integrals, one being of 1/(t^2 - 2), and our other being of 1/(w^2 + 2), both in their respective worlds.
    A formula exists for these forms to be integrated neatly into tanh^-1 and tan^-1 forms. Substitute u back in for t, w, and sqrt (tanx) for u.
    Do this correctly, and then
    Add c and we're done.
    I did this mostly for my own understanding, but I'm fairly sure I didn't skip too much for it to act as a quick summary.

    This is lengthy problem. Very few can solve in first time. We can only solve this problem if we practice at home. Your explanation is very nice

    About the integral answer with inverse tanh and so on: is this integral defined anywhere as a function? A trip to Desmos seems to indicate that this function has no real values, and plugging in several of the usual trig values yields "undefined" no matter where I look.

      Sorry for the reupload.
      I actually had a mistake on the integral of 1/(x^2-a^2) in the previous video.
      I will make up to you guys by checking my answer by differentiation! That video will be done soon!

    1/t²-2 can also be integrated as 1/2a log(t+a/t-a) right? (a=√2)

I'm only 14 right now, so don't have any solid plans for uni etc. (other than studying CS as I like programming) but now you got me interested in maths! I've been spending my afternoons just trying to learn maths for the past few weeks, and it's been really fun so far!

    Tell me if I’m wrong.
    When you had the choice beetwin partial fractions and tan-1, tanh-1
    Wouldn’t you get 2 different results? One in ln, one in tanh ?

    What a gorgeous way to find the answer! Who is the genius first to find u+1/u and u-1/u pairs for this question? It really drive me crazy for such an integral. Thank BPRP.

  • @Quantris

    One rather interesting thing about that expression is that (if we take C = 0) we'll generally get a complex number out of it. The imaginary part is always the same though.
    I think you get a nice expression if you introduce complex numbers (starting by factoring (u^4 + 1) into (u^2 +- i). But it seems non-obvious that 1) the manipulations I did after that are totally ok, since I kind of ignore principle value etc... and 2) how to rigouously show this is actually equal to the answer found with real math.
    Writing R = (1 + i) / sqrt(2) and u = sqrt(tan(x)) (and Re == real part) then I eventually got that Re[2R*arctan(Ru)] is an antiderivative of sqrt(tan(x)) w.r.t. x
    Writing out the def. of (complex) arctan => Re[(1/R) Log [(R - u) / (R + u)]] is an antiderivative.
    Numerically checking for some random values I find this does give the same values (up to a constant) as your solution. Though I did assume that tan(x) is non-negative here (that is how I ended up with "real part" in there).

    Can you break up the integral of 1/(t^2-2) as a partial fraction A/t-sqrt(2) + B/sqrt(2) and integrate that way?

  • @atharvagarwal6412
    @atharvagarwal6412 4 года назад

    Why are we using hyperbolic trig functions for the integral of 1/(x^2-a^2) when its easier to do it using partial fractions and end up with an answer with log(...) instead..?

  • @jirosuzuki2317
    @jirosuzuki2317 3 года назад

    When you divide by u^2, are you excluding the points where tan(x) = 0? So x=n*pi?

    Hello blackpenredpen, greetings from the Dominican Republic. I'm an engineering student who took calculus 2 years ago ( so sorry if my question is dumb or anything), but I was wondering if the last little integral with the (t-2) in the denominator could have been done with partial fractions. if possible... could you show us an "alternate ending" of this problem.
    Thank you in advance

    • @blackpenredpen
      @blackpenredpen  7 лет назад

      It is possible with partial fractions. Maybe I will make a follow up vid when I have time later on.

    I think that the most monumental achievement humanity could ever hope to accomplish would be to find an intuitive understanding of how to go directly from the integrand to the antiderivative in one step...
