Re: MX2 Integration Marathon

and this one =

The proofs for these integrals are extremely complicated... and obviously I used a resource "an introduction to the theory of numbers by hardy" and some other calculus book... will stop posting on this forum =(

Re: MX2 Integration Marathon

Find this one WITHOUT using a trig substitution (and this includes hyperbolic functions, I don't want to see them). Spiral did this one a long time ago for me.

so we can use other substitutions right

MX2 level integral...

Re: MX2 Integration Marathon

Well...1+x^4 is just testing an arduous and unpleasant partial fraction decomposition...not really getting to the core of integration.

You cannot do that with partial fractions.

I'll let one of the students do the honours. Quite a popular 'Harder Partial Fractions' problem, actually, along with 1/(x^3+1).

COMPLETE THE SQUARE BITCHASS!



Now let things be...



Now it turns out that

Now you can factor out a 1/2 in the integrand.

After that you need to split the ax and b term (as well as cx and d) and they all become some sort of logs or inverse tans, depending on the sign of the fraction on the bottom. Then you can put the limits in, with inverse tan going to pi/2 as x goes to infty, and the logs will eventually cancel or simplify to give the required result.

What did you have in mind, UMAD? (To solve this integral)

Re: MX2 Integration Marathon

Carrot, if I use these techniques in the MX2 paper, do I get zero?

Re: MX2 Integration Marathon

Hey hey c'mon keep it friendly and elementary.

And for the record UMAD, you didn't properly show the acquiring of the Laurent Expension and the substituting of the poles to acquire the Residue.

Yes.
