this is integration by t-method

1. the integral of d@/cos@

2. the integral of dx/(1- sinx)

3. the integral of dx/(1+sinx)

4. the integral of cos@/(2 - cos@) d@

5. the integral of cosx/(sin^2@ + 1) dx

6. the integral of tanx/ (1 + cosx) dx

1. &int; d&theta;/cos&theta; let t = tan&theta;/2 ---> d&theta; = 2dt/(1+t<sup>2</sup>)
cos&theta; = (1-t<sup>2</sup>)/(1 + t<sup>2</sup>)

int. = &int; (1+t<sup>2</sup>)/(1-t<sup>2</sup>). 2/(1+t<sup>2</sup>) dt
= &int; 2/(1+t)(1-t) dt
= &int; 1/(1-t) + 1/(1+t) dt
= -ln(1-t) + ln(1+t) +c
= ln[(1+t)/(1-t)] +c
= ln[(1+tan&theta;/2)/(1 - tan&theta;/2)] +c

2. &int; dx/(1-sinx) let t = tanx/2 ---> dx = 2dt/(1+t<sup>2</sup>)
sinx = 2t/(1 + t<sup>2</sup>)

int. becomes
&int; 1/[1 - 2t/(1 + t<sup>2</sup>)].2dt/(1+t<sup>2</sup>)
= &int; 1/[(1 - 2t + t<sup>2</sup>)/(1+t<sup>2</sup>].2dt/(1+t<sup>2</sup>)
= &int; 2dt/(1 - 2t + t<sup>2</sup>)
= &int; 2dt/(t-1)<sup>2</sup>
= -2/(t-1) = -2/(tanx/2-1)

something worth noting is that t<sup>2</sup> -2t + 1 can be written as (1-t)<sup>2</sup> as well as (t-1)<sup>2</sup> and this would yield an alternative answer of 2/(tanx/2-1) (positive). I'm not sure what to do about this.

For question 3 do pretty much the same process as the above.

Have a go at some of the others and remember you can constuct a right angled triangle with sides (1) and (t) and hypotenuse &radic;(1 + t<sup>2</sup>) to work out values of sin(x/2) and cos(x/2) ----> hence you can work out cosx, sinx and tanx since:
cosx = cos<sup>2</sup>(x/2) - sin<sup>2</sup>(x/2)
sinx = 2sin(x/2)cos(x/2)

I'll work though no. 4 though since it's a bit trickier at the end... in a sec after I've fed myself.

4. &int; cos&theta;/(2 - cos&theta; ) d&theta; let t = tanθ/2 ---> dθ = 2dt/(1+t<sup>2</sup>)
cosθ = (1-t<sup>2</sup>)/(1 + t<sup>2</sup>)

Integral becomes
= &int; [(1-t<sup>2</sup>)/(1 + t<sup>2</sup>)]/[2 - (1-t<sup>2</sup>)/(1 + t<sup>2</sup>)] x 2/(1+t<sup>2</sup>) dt

collect 2 - (1-t<sup>2</sup>)/(1 + t<sup>2</sup>) to make (1 +3t<sup>2</sup>)/(1 + t<sup>2</sup>) and cancel stuff out:

=&int; (2 - 2t<sup>2</sup>)/(1 +3t<sup>2</sup>)(1 + t<sup>2</sup>) dt

= &int; 4/(3t<sup>2</sup>+1) - 2/(t<sup>2</sup> +1) dt

= &int; 4/3.1/(1/3 + t<sup>2</sup>) - 2/(t<sup>2</sup>+1) dt

= 4[&radic;3]/3tan<sup>-1</sup>([&radic;3].t) - 2tan<sup>-1</sup>t

subbing in t= tan(&theta;/2)
= 4[&radic;3]/3tan<sup>-1</sup>([&radic;3].tan(&theta;/2)) - 2tan<sup>-1</sup>tan(&theta;/2)

= 4[&radic;3]/3tan<sup>-1</sup>([&radic;3].tan(&theta;/2)) -2&theta;/2

= 4[&radic;3]/3tan<sup>-1</sup>([&radic;3].tan(&theta;/2))-&theta; + C

just use tan@/2 =t then draw the triangle and use double angle results..

I havent done intetgration yet but feel left out.. so im going to tell you what i know:
tanhx ={ e^x - e^-x } / {e^x + e^ -x }
sinhx = { e^x - e^-x } / 2
coshx + {e^x + e^-x} / 2

coshx is the shape of the wire hanging between 2 telegraph poles.

Thankyou. I have been of no use to anyone looking for help on integration, or any help to anyone looking for help on any HSC maths topic, I know it. But I enjoyed this.

Hyperbolic trigonmetry isn't in the HSC course. :p

But they hint at it sometimes with things like: "integrate e^x-1/e^x" ( or 2sinh(x), whose integral is 2cosh(x) )
Which is: e^x+1/e^x = 2cosh(x) as expected.

Something else to note is that sin(iz)=sinh(z)

Derivation:
z=cos(x)+isin(x)=e^(ix)
1/z=cos(x)-isin(x)=e^(-ix)
z+1/z=2cos(x)=e^(ix)+1/e^(ix)
cos(x)={e^(ix)+1/e^(ix)}/2
Et cetera. For hyperbolic trig, a=ib in cos(a), so:
cos(a)={e^(ia)+1/e^(ia)}/2
{e^(i*ib)+1/e^(i*ib)}/2
={1/e^(b)+e^(b)}/2
cosh(b)={e^(b)+1/e^(b)}/2

I knew it wasnt in the syllabus, but I just find maths so thrilling I wanted to bring it up anyway.
I wasnt aware of the sin(iz)=sinh(z) property.. thats very cool, thanks Steele! [awesome]

6.

tan(x) / 1 + cos(x) dx

Let t = tan(½x)
=> dt = ½sec²(x/2) dx
and, hence,
dx = 2cos²(x/2) dt

Now, considering a triangle described by t = tan(x/2) – that is, a triangle with adj. side = 1 where opp. side = t and hence hypotenuse² = 1 + t².

Thus,

cos²(x/2) = 1 / (1 + t²)

Thus, plugging into

tan(x) / 1 + cos(x) dx

maps to

2t / (1 – t²) / 1 + 2t / (1 + t²) × 2 / (1 + t²) dt

= ∫ 4t / (1 – t²) / 1 + t² + 2t dt

= ∫ 4t / (1 – t²) / 1 + t² + 2t dt

= ∫ 4t / (1 – t²) (1 + t)² dt

= Resolution into partial fractions.

trivial :p
