Now guys ^.^, please don't think I'm a faggot trying to "prove my math skills" in a sea of genius's haha, cause I realise I'm only doing ext1 , I am just trying my luck at lots of questions and building my Mathematics vocabulary (very slowly ^.^) (and attempting to get better at Latex.. pfft)

So then, Eldar! can you please tell me if these are right?

$$(1)........$\\ \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}3sinxcos^{2}xdx\\ -3\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{dcosx}{dx}cos^{2}xdx\\ -3\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}cos^{2}x\:dcosx\\ -3\:[\frac{cos^{3}\frac{\pi}{4}}{3}-\frac{cos^{3}{0}}{3}]\\\\ \therefore = -3(\frac{1}{6\sqrt{2}}- \frac{1}{3})\\\\\\\\ $(2)........$\\ \int tan^{2}xsec^{2}dx\\ \int \frac{dtanx}{dx}tan^{2}xdx\\ \int tan^{2}x{dtanx}\\ \therefore \: = \: \frac{tan^3{x}}{3}+C$

Correct. You might want to put a "/" in your Latex code before your trigonometric functions.

I never knew that method was allowed...I would normally have used double angles (LOL).

Substitution for the win. It's way quicker than rewriting the integral.

This question was from 3U paper right?

Not too sure, must be I would think.

I'm on a computer without Adobe so I can't check =/

I can confirm it is now.

I can't seem to get it to work with double angles so sub it is

Sweet! I got the same! Thanks for the help everyone! I rather like this method.

If you want to over complicate it.

$\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}(\cos x \sin ^2 x\:) {\mathrm{d} x}$

$=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}(\cos x (\frac{1-\cos 2x}{2}))\: {\mathrm{d} x}$

$=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}(\frac{1}{2}\cos x -\frac{1}{2}\cos x \cos 2x)\: {\mathrm{d} x}$

$=\frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}(\cos x -\cos x \cos 2x)\: {\mathrm{d} x}$

$=\frac{1}{4} \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}(2\cos x -2\cos x \cos 2x)\: {\mathrm{d} x}$

By products to sums,

$=\frac{1}{4} \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}(2\cos x -(\cos x + \cos 3x)) {\mathrm{d} x}$

$=\frac{1}{4} \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}(\cos x - \cos 3x) {\mathrm{d} x}$

$=\frac{1}{4}[\sin x - \frac{1}{3} \sin 3x]$ With the limits.

$=\frac{\sqrt{12}}{2}$

I'll take substitution.

Wise choice.

Apparently you're supposed to do this in one line using common sense.

integral[sin^3(x)]=3sin^2(x)cos(x) and work from there...

What are you talking about? Who are you talking to?

someth1ng · Oct 1, 2011

wrong way, switch the eqn around LOL somethingg like that

I am still confused about who you are talking to and what you are talking about.

someth1ng · Oct 1, 2011

integral[3*sin^2(x)*cos(x)]=sin^3(x)+C
OR
d/dx [sinx]^3 = 3 (sinx)^2 (cosx)

So obviously if "integral[3*sin^2(x)*cos(x)]=sin^3(x)+C" then integrating sin^2(x)*cos(x)=[1/3](sinx)^3

That's better.

You still didn't specify why you are actually posting this as spiral said.

"Apparently you're supposed to do this in one line using common sense."

The Excel Fast Track mini-book says that it can be done straight from memory.
