  • When we try to integrate 1/(1+tan(x)), which is the same as the integral of cos(x)/(cos(x)+sin(x)), we will see the usual u-substitution technique wouldn't work right away. Let me show you another integration technique and I call it the "wouldn't it be nice" technique. A similar integral would be the "1, 2, 3, 4" integral here • The 1, 2, 3, 4 Integral!

      nice, it is solvable with substitution tanx = t, but this is mutch shorter

    Alternatively, sin(x) + cos(x) = root(2) sin(x + pi/4) then u = x + pi/4 and it's easy from there.

      @@baezmarklimuel7871 Sure, sin(x) + cos(x) = sqrt(2) [ sin(x) . 1/sqrt(2) + cos(x) . 1/sqrt(2)] = sqrt(2) [ sin(x) . cos(pi/4) + cos(x) . sin(pi/4)]. The quantity in the square bracket is sin(x + pi/4) because sin(a+b) = sin(a) cos(b) + cos(a) sin(b) and sin(pi/4) = cos(pi/4) = 1/sqrt(2)

    Introduce this substitution: x = arctan(u^2). There will be partial fractions but it works out nicely in the end.

    Can you investigate Integral of (1+tanh x)/(1+tan x) ? Does it have a solution? And how can one decide if the antiderivative of some expression can be found?

  • @FireFly_best_girl
    @FireFly_best_girl 2 года назад +5

    but as I know I can do some thing else ,,, first step : u=tan(x) then du=sec^2(x)dx then dx=du/sec^2(x) so we will have integral of du/u+1(sec(x))^2 ,,,, alternatively u^2=tan^2(x) so u^2=sec^2(x)-1 so (u^2)+1=sec^2(x) so the final form will be integral of du/(u+1)((u^2)+1) then solve it by partial fractions if I am wrong please tell me (:

  • @justinpark939
    @justinpark939 2 года назад +2

    Had my own way and the antiderivative was x/2 + ...ln|cos(2x)|/4 + ln|sec(2x)+tan(2x)|/4 + c. Saw Mr Steve's answer and found that the trig stuff was equivalent to his trig stuff, after some manipulation.
    edit: wouldn't it be nice if you were good at finding complicated ways to write 1 or 0. I wish finding creative ways to rewrite the multiplicative and additive identity were my forte.

      I'm not certain if this will work, but because e^iz = cos(z) + i sin(z), then sin(z) = Im (e^iz)
      Therefore, the integral of sin(x^2) dx equals the imaginary part of the integral of e^ix² dx.
      A u substitution, maybe -u² = ix², might be able to produce something in terms of erf(x) or erfi(x). Take the imaginary part, add a constant and you might have your answer.
      I don't know that this is correct though. Try it.
