Let t=tanx is a good idea?

Yes, it is a good idea (unless you want to use trig identities many times or prove a reduction formula first)

stupid_girl · Nov 24, 2019

The algebra is quite annoying.

$\int_{0}^{1}\frac{1}{2^{x+1}+\sqrt{4^{x}+2^{x}}+\sqrt{4^{x}-2^{x}}}dx=\frac{6+9\sqrt{2}+6\sqrt{3}-9\sqrt{6}-2\pi}{6\ln2}$

I guess you must have got an answer close to zero.
$\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\left(\tan x-\tan^{2}x\right)^{4}dx$
$=\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\left(t-t^{2}\right)^{4}}{1+t^{2}}dt$
$=\int_{0}^{1}\left(t^{6}-4t^{5}+5t^{4}-4t^{2}+4-\frac{4}{1+t^{2}}\right)dt$
$=\frac{1}{7}-\frac{4}{6}+\frac{5}{5}-\frac{4}{3}+4-4\tan^{-1}1$
$=\frac{22}{7}-\pi$
$\approx0$

This one is fun
$\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin^2 (x) \ln ( \tan (x)) dx$

With the usual trick, f(x)+f(pi/2-x)=-cos(2x) ln(tan x), which can be evaluated by IBP.

$\int_{0}^{a}f\left(x\right)dx=\int_{0}^{\frac{a}{2}}\left(f\left(x\right)+f\left(a-x\right)\right)dx$

$\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\sin^{2}\left(x\right)\ln\left(\tan\ x\right)dx$
$=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\left(\sin^{2}x\ln\left(\tan\ x\right)+\cos^{2}x\ln\left(\cot\ x\right)\right)dx$
$=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\left(\sin^{2}x\ln\left(\tan\ x\right)-\cos^{2}x\ln\left(\tan\ x\right)\right)dx$
$=-\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\cos2x\ln\left(\tan\ x\right)dx$
$=\left[-\frac{\sin2x}{2}\ln\left(\tan\ x\right)\right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}+\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{\sin2x}{2}\cdot\frac{\sec^{2}x}{\tan x}dx$
$=\left[-\frac{\sin2x}{2}\ln\left(\tan\ x\right)\right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}+\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}dx$
$=\left[-\frac{\sin2x}{2}\ln\left(\tan\ x\right)+x\right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}$
$=\frac{\pi}{4}$

The following can be solved similarly.
$\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\sin^{4}\left(x\right)\ln\left(\tan\ x\right)dx=\frac{\pi}{4}$

This one is absolutely painful.

$\int_{0}^{1}\left(\frac{3e^{x}+1}{e^{x}+\sqrt{x+e^{x}}}+\frac{\left(e^{x}+1\right)^{2}}{x+e^{x}+\sqrt{e^{3x}+xe^{2x}}}\right)dx$
$=\ln\left(e^{2}+e+2e\sqrt{e+1}+1\right)-2+2\sqrt{e+1}-\ln4$

$=\ln\left(e^{2}+e+2e\sqrt{e+1}+1\right)-2+2\sqrt{e+1}-\ln4$

HSC is over but a good integral is always fun:

$\text{The given integral is equivalent to:}$

$\int_{0}^{1} \frac{3e^x+1}{e^x+\sqrt{x+e^x}} + \frac{\left(e^x+1\right)^2}{\sqrt{x+e^x}\left(e^x+\sqrt{x+e^x}\right)}dx$

$= \int_{0}^{1} \frac{\left(3e^x+1\right)\sqrt{x+e^x}+\left(e^x+1\right)^2}{\sqrt{x+e^x}\left(e^x+\sqrt{x+e^x}\right)}dx$

$= \int_{0}^{1} \frac{\left(e^x+1+2e^x\right)\sqrt{x+e^x} + e^x\left(e^x+1\right) + \left(e^x+1\right)}{\sqrt{x+e^x}\left(e^x+\sqrt{x+e^x}\right)} dx$

$= \int_{0}^{1} \frac{\left(e^x+1\right) \left(\sqrt{x+e^x}+e^x \right)+\left(e^x+1\right) +2e^x \sqrt{x+e^x}}{\sqrt{x+e^x}\left(e^x+\sqrt{x+e^x}\right)} dx$

$= \int_{0}^{1} \frac{e^x+1}{\sqrt{x+e^x}}dx+2\int_{0}^{1} \frac{\frac{e^x + 1}{2\sqrt{x+e^x}}+ e^x}{e^x+\sqrt{x+e^x}}dx$

$= 2\sqrt{x+e^x}\big|_{0}^{1} + 2\ln{\left(e^x + \sqrt{x+ e^x}\right)}\big|_{0}^{1}$

$= 2\sqrt{e+1}-2+ 2\ln{\left(e+\sqrt{e+1}\right)} -2\ln{2}$

$= \ln{\left(e^2 + 2e\sqrt{e+1} + e + 1\right)} -2 +2\sqrt{e+1} -\ln{4}$

I have skipped the steps of rationalization.
$\int_{0}^{1}\frac{1}{2^{x+1}+\sqrt{4^{x}+2^{x}}+\sqrt{4^{x}-2^{x}}}dx$
$=\int_{0}^{1}\frac{2^{-x}}{2+\sqrt{1+2^{-x}}+\sqrt{1-2^{-x}}}dx$
$=-\frac{1}{\ln2}\int_{1}^{\frac{1}{2}}\frac{1}{2+\sqrt{1+u}+\sqrt{1-u}}du$

$=\frac{1}{\ln2}\int_{\frac{\pi}{12}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{2\cos2t}{2+\sqrt{1+\sin2t}+\sqrt{1-\sin2t}}dt$
$=\frac{1}{\ln2}\int_{\frac{\pi}{12}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{2\cos2t}{2+\left|\sin t+\cos t\right|+\left|\sin t-\cos t\right|}dt$
$=\frac{1}{\ln2}\int_{\frac{\pi}{12}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{2\cos2t}{2+2\cos t}dt$
$=\frac{1}{\ln2}\int_{\frac{\pi}{12}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{\cos2t}{1+\cos t}\cdot\frac{1-\cos t}{1-\cos t}dt$
$=\frac{1}{\ln2}\int_{\frac{\pi}{12}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{\left(1-2\sin^{2}t\right)\left(1-\cos t\right)}{\sin^{2}t}dt$
$=\frac{1}{\ln2}\int_{\frac{\pi}{12}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\left(\csc^{2}t-2-\csc t\cot t+2\cos t\right)dt$
$=\frac{1}{\ln2}\left[-\cot t-2t+\csc t+2\sin t\right]_{\frac{\pi}{12}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}$
$=\frac{1}{\ln2}\left(-\cot\frac{\pi}{4}-2\cdot\frac{\pi}{4}+\csc\frac{\pi}{4}+2\sin\frac{\pi}{4}+\cot\left(\frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)+2\cdot\frac{\pi}{12}-\csc\left(\frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)-2\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\right)$
$=\frac{1}{\ln2}\left(-1-\frac{\pi}{2}+\sqrt{2}+\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{1+\sqrt{3}\cdot1}\right)}+\frac{\pi}{6}-\frac{1}{\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)}-2\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\right)$

$\int_{0}^{\pi^{2}}\frac{1}{1-\sin\sqrt{x}\cos\sqrt{x}}dx=\frac{5\sqrt{3}\pi^{2}}{9}$

Hey you can't just commute the limit with the integral like that. Everyone knows limits don't commute in general.

Please justify the commutation using only techniques from the syllabus.

It requires uniform convergence. Does the syllabus cover techniques to prove uniform convergence?

It is too abstract. I'll leave it for your university lecturer and tutor.

Is that another way of saying “the proof is left as an exercise for the reader”?

This one isn't too hard, right? The same old trick applies.

$\int_{0}^{\pi^{2}}\frac{1}{1-\sin\sqrt{x}\cos\sqrt{x}}dx$
$=\int_{0}^{\pi}\frac{2x}{1-\sin x\cos x}dx$
$=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\frac{2x}{1-\sin x\cos x}dx+\int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\pi}\frac{2x}{1-\sin x\cos x}dx$
$=\frac{\pi}{2}\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\frac{1}{1-\sin x\cos x}dx+\frac{3\pi}{2}\int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\pi}\frac{1}{1-\sin x\cos x}dx$
$=\frac{\pi}{2}\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\frac{\sec^{2}x}{\sec^{2}x-\tan x}dx+\frac{3\pi}{2}\int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\pi}\frac{\sec^{2}x}{\sec^{2}x-\tan x}dx$
$=\frac{\pi}{2}\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{t^{2}+1-t}dt+\frac{3\pi}{2}\int_{-\infty}^{0}\frac{1}{t^{2}+1-t}dt$
$=\frac{\pi}{2}\left[\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2t-1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)\right]_{0}^{\infty}+\frac{3\pi}{2}\left[\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2t-1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)\right]_{-\infty}^{0}$
$=\frac{\sqrt{3}\pi}{3}\left[\frac{\pi}{2}-\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\right]+\sqrt{3}\pi\left[-\frac{\pi}{6}-\left(-\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\right]$
$=\frac{5\sqrt{3}\pi^{2}}{9}$

$\int_{0}^{\tan^{-1}k}\ln\left(1+k\tan x\right)dx=\frac{\tan^{-1}k}{2}\ln\left(k^{2}+1\right)$
(where k is a real constant)

stupid_girl · Dec 17, 2019

This one is similar but the algebra is slightly longer.
$\frac{d}{dk}\int_{0}^{2\tan^{-1}k}\frac{x}{1+\cos x+k\sin x}dx=\frac{2k^{2}\tan^{-1}k+k\ln\left(k^{2}+1\right)-\left(k^{2}+1\right)\left(\tan^{-1}k\right)\ln\left(k^{2}+1\right)}{k^{2}\left(k^{2}+1\right)}$
