    Fun side note :
    There's a nice and quick geometric way to see what A and B are in the equation (sin x + cos x) = A cos (x - B). Consider a square of side 1 unit and a line outside the square. The projection of the adjacent sides of the square on the line is (sin x + cos x) , which is also equal to the projection of the diagonal of the square on the line. The maximum value of the projection is clearly equal to the length of the diagonal or sqrt2 and this occurs when the angle x is equal to pi/4( since the diagonal is parallel to the line in that case ). Therefore A=sqrt2, B = pi/4

    Shorter method :
    We know integral fx from a to b is same as integral f(a+b-x) from a to b
    once we got I=ln(1+Tanx)
    I=ln(1+(tan(45-x)) .. expand tan(a-b)=(tana-tanb)/1+tanAtanB
    =Ln(1+(1-tanx)/1+Tanx)
    =Ln(2/1+Tanx)
    I=ln(2)-I
    I=1/2ln(2)
    Now substitute limits
    I= (1/2)ln(2)*(π/4-0)
    Done

    Literally man, you made this question super tough. Just apply ∫f(x)=∫f(a+b-x) for limits a to b. Apply formula of tan(A-B) for A=π/4 and B=0. Add both equations and apply ln(a)+ln(b)=ln(ab). Only ln2 will left. Answer would come (π/8)ln2. Seriously this is a question from one of the easiest books of Indian Mathematics, NCERT.

  • @themathworm4984
    @themathworm4984 Pƙed 3 lety +9

    It will be much more easier
    Put I =lim 0 to π/4 ln (1+tan theta)
    = lim 0 to π/4 ln{1 + tan (π/4- theta) }
    Next put the formula of tan (π/4-theta)
    Then I = ln (2/(1+ tan theta))
    2I = lim 0 to π/4 (ln 2)
    And thus I = ln 2 by π/8

    @Parv-cs7hw Pƙed 5 měsĂ­ci

    Another method: when we are at ln(1+tan(a)) [let a = theta], we can use king's rule to get ln(1+tan(pi/4 - a)). Next, we can use the tan(a-b) identity, and it will turn out to be ln(2/1+tan(a)). Next, we use the quotient property of ln to separate the integrals and turns out we get the original integral. therefore, assuming the original integral to be I, we get 2I = pi/4*ln2, which evaluates to pi/8*ln2.

    there is a much simpler way to solve it. When you have the ln(tan(theta)+1)) just use king property to get ln(tan(pi/4-theta)+1) and it just simplify like butter.
    You can also try x = (1-t)/(1+t) it work good with log.

Just kidding great video, alternate format which I used however was to use the law that you used at the end of the video when you have the integral of ln(tan(theta)-Pi/4), where you can use the tan compound angle formula and do some simplifying in order to get 2x your original integral as equal to pixln(2)/4, giving the same answer as you showed here

    A nice formula for solving such type of integrals : integral from 0 to a of ln(1+ax)/(x^2 + 1) = 1/2 * arctan*a*ln(1+a^2)

    I did this with Feynman's technique, but for some reason I only see people solving it with trig subs. I don't have the harmonic addition formula memorized, I'm sorry!

    Substitution x = (1-u)/(1+u) will work

    is there any other way to solve it cause this suddenly became complicated

    Why didn't we take the rule i.e∫ 0 to a f(x) =f(a-x) in the step of.∫ 0 to a ln(1+tanΘ) please clarify

    we can make another substitution t=1-x/1+x

    But can we say A=negative sqrt( 2) because negative sqrt 2 square is 2.
