      Rohit Tanwar Papa Flammy never made any explicit assumptions in the video about t(x), but the algebraic manipulations he used to simplify the integral only work if t(x) = t(-x). In particular, he inadvertently simplified t(x)^o(x)·t(-x)^[-o(x)] to 1, but this simplification is only valid if t(x) = t(-x).

    i think there are exceptions around poles, so you have to determine where along your interval the denominator is zero. this occurs for pi^sin(x) = -1, so we have arcsin((1+2k)ipi/ln(pi)). this is not in the path of your integral so you're good to go.

    • @BiscuitZombies
      @BiscuitZombies 3 года назад +1

      Nice question. You have f(x)=sin(sin(x)-x). Now shift this curve to the left by pi units. You now get f(x+pi), call this new function g(x).
      Applying this transformation: g(x)=f(x+pi)= sin(sin(x+pi)-(x+pi)) = sin(-sin(x)-(x+pi)) = sin(-sin(x)-x-pi) = sin((-sin(x)-x)-pi) = -sin(pi-(-sin(x)-x)) = -sin(sin(x)+x)
      The final result is that g(x)= -sin(sin(x)+x). *Note* that I used symmetry properties: sin(-x)=-sin(x), and sin(pi-x) = sin(x), and sin(pi+x)=-sin(x).
      Since g(x) is just f(x) shifted left by pi, wouldn't you agree that the integral you stated is equivalent to the integral of g(x) now from -pi to pi? (we are just shifting f(x) to the left by pi and now integrating the exact same thing).
      Well then, we can also show that g(x) is an odd function. g(-x) = -sin(sin(-x)-x) = -sin(-sin(x)-x) = sin(sin(x)+x) = -g(x). Hence it is odd.
      Well since g(x) is odd, then the integral from -pi to pi is just 0, as the area is just reflected in the y axis. Hence your integral is equivalently 0.
      If anything is unclear just ask.
      Another way of saying this is that if you take the y axis to be at x=pi, then your function is odd. (And we show this by shifting the function left by Pi, and showing that it is odd about the y axis)

    funnily enough if you ignore the /5 part, the result would have been more accurate. e^5 /5 ~ 30, which means a guess of 2^5 was spot-on. e / 5^.2 ~ 1.97, which is quite close to 2

    How can variable t be any function of x? It only works if it’s an even function. If it’s odd or a mixture you don’t get that nice cancellation.

    Why is there another integral on preview? When we have cos(x)^(sin(x)) instead of π^sin(x) we cant integrate in +/- e bounds because of cosine negativity out of range of (-pi/2;pi/2).

    Papa, for your comment at 9:24, t can't be ANY function of x, as then you're going to have t(-x), which isn't going to cancel out so nicely in the end.

    6:59 you could have instead simplified the second fraction by multiplying by t^o which will give you the same denominator, no mess :)

    Actually this thing is insane. But i have one question: what if the function E or O or both were not to be integrable between minus a and a, we cannot use the linearity of the integral and thus cannot say that integral of E plus O equals integral of E plus integral of O and eventually equals to integral of E. For instance, let a>0 and let the function E equals -1/x^2 and O equals 1/x. E is even and O is odd and neither of them are integrable on the line segment [-a;a]. Thus, writing integral of 1/x-1/x^2 equals integral of 1/x minus integral of 1/x^2 has no sense at all because the both integrals are not defined. So my question is the following: does this works with any kind of even and odd function, or is there any restriction to it?
