  • @insouciantFox
    @insouciantFox Před 3 lety +13

    Woohoo! I got this one! All by myself!
    Had me puzzled before I found the trick.
    Here's how I did it:
    Let the value of the integral be Q and the integrand be f(x)≡n(x)/d(x).
    Due to some theorem I can't remember the name of, the integral from a to b of f(x) is identical to the integral of f(b-x) over the same bounds.
    n(π-x)= 2(π-x)³-3π(π-x)²= 2π³-6π²x+6πx²-2x³ - 3π³+6π²x-3πx² = -π³+3πx²-2x³.
    Since sin(x)≡sin(π-x), d(x)=d(π-x).
    Adding the integrals of f(x) and f(π-x) yeilds a value of 2Q. The resultant integrand is: N(x)/D(x) := (n(x)+n(π-x))/d(x).
    Specifically:
    N(x) = (2x³-3πx³)+(-π³+3πx³-2x³) = -π³.
    D(x) = (1+sin(x))².
    Factor out the constant from the integrand. Then complete the difference of squares by multiplying N(x)=1 and D(x) by (1-sin(x))².
    This results in N(x) = (1-sin(x))²= 1-2sin(x)+sin²(x) and D(x)=cos⁴(x).
    Split the integrand into A, B, and C.
    A = sec⁴(x)dx = sec²(x)(tan²(x)+1) = u² +1 du
    B = -2sin(x)sec⁴(x) dx = -sec²(x)(sec(x)tan(x)) dx= -2v² dv
    C = sin²(x)sec⁴(x) dx = sec²(x)tan²(x) dx = u² du
    Evaluate the simple integrals. Note that on the boundary tan(x) disappears.
    What remain is:
    2Q = -⅔π³(sec³(0)‐sec³(π)).
    sec(π)= -sec(0)= -1
    Thus Q = -⅔π³ ≈-20.67.

    If you do a substitution u=x-π/2, you can cancel almost everything by symmetry, after the cancellation you resubstitute back to x and you're only left with the integral of 1/(1+sin(x))². There are actually a lot of symmetries on the integral, they're just hidden by the bounds. You can skip the identity completely

  • @seshnarayan7972
    @seshnarayan7972 Před 3 lety +5

    Dear blackpenredpen,
    I first used the definite integral property integral 0 to a f(x)=integral 0 to a f(a-x). I got the integral of the rhs as integral 0 to pi (-pi cube -2x cube+ 3pix square)/(1+ sinx)square. Since the first integral and this integral are exactly the same I named them both as "I" and added them to get "2I" so that the variable terms in the numerator would cancel out. So the result was "2I"= -pi cube integral 0 to pi dx/(1+sinx) square so I could solve for "I" and so the result would be I=-pi cube /2 integral 0 to pi dx/(1+sinx) square. But I did not know how to solve this integral so I looked it up on Wolfram alpha and it said that the value was 4/3. So I multiplied -picube/2 by 4/3 which is -2pi cube/3

    for the last part if you factor out x and let f(x)=1/(1+x)^2, you get Pi/2 and then you do it once again leaving 2x-3pi/(1+sinx)^2. break up the the numerator, and you get to the same final part much easier and quicker.

    For step three instead of figuring out the identity of
    Integral[x^3 f(sinx) dx], I just factored out one x and assumed the rest were arcsin(sin(x)) and applied the first identity once, then I factored another x (or one of the arcsin(sinx) powers) and applied it again; I split the integral in two and applied it a third time, I got the same result.

    • @tupoiu
      @tupoiu Před rokem

      arcsin is only a function to [-pi/2, pi/2] from [-1,1] so we can't do arcsin of x when it gets nearer to pi > 1. For this reason I think your method isn't complete.

    Another way is : 1) substitute x=u+pi/2 to get an integral between -pi/2 and pi/2 then use he fact that odd functions integrated symetricaly are zero and finally, substitute cos u = (1-t^2)/(1+t^2) with du = 2dt/(1+t^2) (where t = tan x/2). Note : in France, we do not use sec x and cosec x but 1/sin x and 1/ cos x.

    Very good, thank you. Your method for part 3 is good but not obvious - you went back to the subsitution y = Pi - x. Alternative methods exist and seem more obvious. For example, factorising the integrand as x f(Sin(x)) . (Polynomial in x) to give you something on which you can apply integration by parts (with the earlier results from the question). It's not faster but it's NOT SLOWER and it doesn't require much luck or special insight to make good progress.

    • @jeeves_wooster
      @jeeves_wooster Před 3 lety +1

      Using symmetry here is definitely much more obvious as there's a pi within the integral. Integration by parts is generally much more messy even if it isn't longer.
      When looking at trig integrals one of the first things you go for is symmetry; before ibp.

    • @colfrancis9725
      @colfrancis9725 Před 3 lety

      @@jeeves_wooster Hmmm... Maybe. I'm glad you thought about symmetry, you're a better man than I am. I could easily have missed it.
      I think the main prompt for substituting y = Pi -x came from experience of the earlier questions (see approx 16:30 in the video for Blackpen's motivation) and that is ONLY partial motivation in my opinion. Before putting pen to paper, you can see (or reasonably imagine) a messy expansion of a (Pi-x) to the third power through which we would struggle to guess that we're going to get anything more useful than some way of integrating the x^3 f(Sin(x)) term in the original integral. It's just good fortune that things simplify better than expected (about 19:40 in the video) by taking TWO components from that expansion over to the other side. If you hadn't been lucky you would have been expecting to repeat the same kind of substitution process with the x^2 f(Sin(x)) term in the original integral. Let's be totally honest, I would expect most people to test the substitution idea on the lower order term, x^2 first before trying it with the x^3 term - there is no good reason to guess that you should start with the higher order term (i.m.o.)
      By comparison, the method of integration by parts (as outlined earleir) is something where we can see good progress being made on every step. You could teach that method to others AND justify the reasoning on each step easily. You said "ibp is generally much more messy..." but I would argue that the student can reasonably be expected to imagine (before putting pen to paper) that it won't be difficult here: After factoring out x.f(Sin(x)) the polynomial we have left is only of order 2, so it's coming down to order 1 after differentiation during ibp. Already at order 1 - there is no risk of the algebra becoming messy.

    Bruh, I was just working on that exercise from Stewart's Calculus a few days ago.

    Somehow I miss read the problem and replaced 3 in 3*pi*x^2 with a 2 and the solution didn't simplify nicely 😜
    So I ended up with an integral that still got x^2/(1+sin(x))^2 term and tried to solve it.
    This said, it is in my opinion a more interesting integral to solve. It takes us through integral of log(1+x^2)/(1+x^2) in the interval [0,1] and the solution has the catalan constant in it. To be exact, the integral of x^2/(1+sin(x))^2 is 2/3(pi^2-pi+pi*log(2)+2-4C) where C is the catalan constant.

    if you want to skip to straight to dessert, sub in u=pi-x, then add your result to the original integral, then after some nice cancellations let t=tanx/2 :)

      When I got the integral from 0 to inf of -π³(1+t²)/(t+1)⁴ after the weierstrass substitution I was actually drooling all over this delicious integral. And after watching this video, it's interesting to see that bprp did it in a completely different way, using the results of the previous problems to help him. Really cool integral.
