  • Time travel seems to have applications for integral calculus. The integral here is pretty cool for an exam but it's a variation of it that got us one of those nice results we're used to seeing here on the channel.

    If you're allergic to trig like me, you can substitute u = 2-x to get an equivalent integral summed from -2 to 2, then substitue v=-u to get another equivalent integral, and then sum those 2 to see that twice the required integral is the integral of an even function from -2 to 2.

      Oops, you're right. I really shouldn't integrate at 1 in the morning. From where I left off, it looks like you do indeed have to use a trig sub to finish it off.

    To show that the integral I is 0, you can also just substitute u=4-x to first get 2I=Int(ln(x*(4-x))/sqrt(x*(4-x)),x=0..4) after combining 2I=I+I. Then substitute x=2+u which gives 2I=Int(ln(4-u^2)/sqrt(4-u^2),u=-2..2)=2*Int(ln(4-u^2)/sqrt(4-u^2),u=0..2). Finally substitute v=4-u^2, which results in 2I=Int(ln(v)/(sqrt(v*(4-v))),v=0..4)=I. Thus I=0.

    Alternatively we can define the integral to be a more general form of this case: int 0 to A of ln(x)/sqrt(Ax-x^2) dx which upon separating the denominator into sqrt(x) sqrt(A-x) the substitution u=sqrt(x) is quite logical, leaving us with an integral which simplifies to int 0 to sqrt(A) 4ln(u)/(sqrt(A-u^2)) du which is begging for a trig sub u=sqrt(A)sin(t). Upon simplification we have int 0 to pi/2 4ln(sqrt(A)sin(t)) dt which using log rules can be separated into Euler's log trig integral, which is -pi/2 ln(2), and an easy integral which evaluates to pi/4 ln(A). Multiplying everything by the factor of 4 gives us pi(ln(A/4)) as the final result. Substituting A=4 gives us the desired result I=0.

    Since the original integral evaluates to zero and the function which is integrated has a zero at x = 1, it follows that the integrals over that function from 0 to 1 and from 1 to 4 cancel each other. So I thought it would be interesting to calculate one of these integrals on its own; obviously, I chose the simpler one from 0 to 1. Progressing by the same methods, finally I have to evaluate the following infinite sum:
    -2 sum_{k \ge 1} sin(k pi/3) / k²
    Examining the possible values of sin(k pi/3), this can be written as the following infinite sum:
    -sqrt(3) sum_(n ge 0} (1/(6n+1)² + 1/(6n+2)² - 1/(6n+4)² - 1/(6n+5)²)
    And now I'm stuck. :D (I very vaguely remember that I've seen Michael Penn evaluate a similar sum some months ago, but I don't remember either when nor how he did do it.)
