    Another cool way to compute ∫ln(sinx)dx is to use Riemann sums, as pi/2n∑ln(sin(k*pi/2n) tends to the value of the integral as n tends to infinity.
    you then have to compute ∏sin(kpi/2n) which is classic and is equal to n/2^n. You then conclude with the uniqueness of the limit.

      Right; take u = 2pi/3, which is in the interval of u. sin(u-pi/2) = sin(pi/6) = 1/2. But sin(u) = sin(2pi/3) = sqrt(3)/2. So definitely not a valid substitution.

    • @yulflip

      it is wrong: at u=pi/2, sin(0) is NOT sin(pi/2)!!

      You are correct and Michael is wrong. Since the integral of ln(sin x) from 0 to pi/2 is the same as the integral over ln(cos x), the third term should be a copy of the second term (with the cosine), and then the substitution u = x + pi/2 works to give the result Michael wants.

    • @Ricardo_S
      @Ricardo_S 16 дней назад

      From what it said in the thumbnail the answer is π
      First √(4x-x²)=√(4-x)*√(x)
      u=√(4-x)
      du=-[1]/[2√(4-x)]dx
      -2du=[1/[√(4-x)]dx
      u²=4-x
      u²-4=-x
      4-u²=x
      √(4-u²)=√(x)
      Change of limits
      u(0)=2
      u(4)=0
      So {0}S{4}([dx]/[√(4x-x²)])=
      {2}S{0}([-2du]/[√(4-u²)])
      We can take the 2 out from the integral, and change the limits of integrations with the negative sign
      2*{0}S{2}([du]/[(4-u²)])
      Now trig substitution
      u=2sin(θ)
      du=2cos(θ)dθ
      θ=arcsin([u]/[2])
      θ(0)=arcsin(0)=0
      θ(2)=arcsin(1)=[π]/[2]
      u²=4sin²(θ)
      4-u²=4-4sin²(θ)=4(1-sin²(θ))=4cos²(θ)
      So
      2*{0}S{[π]/[2]}([2cos(θ)dθ]/[√(4cos²(θ))])=
      2*{0}S{[π]/[2]}([2cos(θ)dθ]/[|2cos(θ)|])
      Because 2cos(θ) its positive on the interval [0,π÷2] |2cos(θ)|=2cos(θ)
      2*{0}S{[π]/[2]}([2cos(θ)dθ]/[2cos(θ)])=
      2*{0}S{[π]/[2]}(dθ)=
      2*θ{[π]/[2]\0}=
      2*([π]/[2]-0)=π

    If you do the substitution x=2(1-cos t) then this becomes integral of the even function ln(2-2 cos t) from 0 to pi, so 1/2 of the same integral from -pi to pi. Now this is a special case of Jensen's Lemma, which says that integral of ln | a - exp(it) | is equal to ln max (1, |a| ), for an complex number a. Just set a=1 to recover the case at hand.
    (This result is used to define what is called the Mahler measure of a polynomial)

  • @eveeeon341
    @eveeeon341 17 дней назад

    This got me thinking, I always pause when I do a trig substitution, because the range of (cos and sin) trig functions is -1 to 1, so you can't always use it, but with the explicit example of scaling the domain by a change of variables to x = 4y and thus enabling the use of trig substitutions, but this only works for definite integrals, I wonder if there's ever a case where you can do something similar with indefinite integrals and you take a limit or something. To give a crude example x = y * 1/h where h -> infinity. This won't work in most cases, but you might be able to get a cancelation in the integral, and therefore you technically convert an indefinite integral to a definite one where the bounds are between -1 and 1 so you can use cos or sin substitution. I've not fully thought this through, I've only had the idea seeded by the video.
