Correct. But you don't need the absolute value.

No, I mean you don't need the absolute value in THIS question, whether or not the HSC generally requires it. The thing you are trying to find the absolute value of CANNOT be negative.

Yep nice work.

asianese said:
$\int \dfrac{\mathop{\mathrm{d}x}}{\sin \left(x-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)\cos x}$

1. Expand denominator:

$\int \frac{dx}{\frac{1}{2}\sin x \cos x- \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cos^2x}$

2. Change to sin2x and cos2x

$\int \frac{4 \dx}{\sin(2x) -\sqrt{3}(\cos 2x + 1)}$

3. Apply the substitution: $t=\tan x$

$\int \frac{4}{\frac{2t}{1+t^2} - \sqrt{3} \left(\frac{1-t^2}{1+t^2} + 1 \right )} \cdot \frac{1}{1+t^2} \ dt$

4. Algebra:

$\int \frac{2}{t - \sqrt{3}} \ dt$

Then:

$2\ln \left |\tan x - \sqrt{3} \right | + c$

Re: MX2 Integration Marathon

$\int \sin(2x) \sin(\cos x) \ dx$

$d(cos(cos x)) = -sin(cos x ) \times (-sin x) dx$

$\therefore \int sin 2x \times sin(cos x) dx = 2 \int sin x cos x \times sin(cos x) dx$

$= 2 \int cos x d cos(cos x)) = 2 cos x \times cos(cos x)) - 2 \int cos(cos x)) d cos x$

$= 2 cos x \times cos(cos x)) - 2 sin (cos x) + C$

Yep, nice work.

At first I did IBP with

$\int \frac{(\sqrt{x}+3)^2}{\sqrt{x}(\sqrt{x}+4)} \ dx$

$u= \sqrt{x} + 4$

$(u-4)^2 = x$

$dx = 2(u-4) \ du$

$\int \frac{(u-1)^2 \cdot 2(u-4)}{(u-4)u} \ du$

$2\int u - 2 + \frac{1}{u} \ du$

$=u^2 - 4u + 2\ln u + c$

This is a great integral, a little long and the answer isn't very elegant, but the path towards it is I think.

$\int \frac{dx}{\sin^3 x + \cos^3 x}$

care to share a solution?

Sy123 · Jul 6, 2013

Re: MX2 Integration Marathon

Makematics said:

Ok:

$\int \frac{dx}{\sin^3 x + \cos^3 x} = \int \frac{dx}{(\sin x + \cos x)(1-\sin x \cos x} = \int \frac{\cos x - \sin x}{(\cos^2 x - \sin^2 x)(1-\sin x \cos x)}$

$u = \cos x + \sin x$

$du = \cos x - \sin x$

$u^2 - 1 = \sin 2x$

Make a right angled triangle, we get that:

$\cos 2x = \sqrt{1 - (u^2-1)^2} = u\sqrt{2-u^2}$

$I = \int \frac{du}{(1-\frac{1}{2} (u^2-1)) (u \sqrt{2-u^2})}$

Replacing the bottom trig identities with the appropriate forms for u.

$I = \int \frac{2 \ du}{u(3-u^2)\sqrt{2-u^2}} = \int \frac{2\sqrt{2-u^2}}{u(2-u^2)(3-u^2)} \ du$

$I = \int 2\sqrt{2-u^2} \left( \frac{1/6}{u} + \frac{1/\sqrt{2}}{2-u^2} + \frac{1/\sqrt{3}}{3-u^2} \right ) \ du$

Then expand, the middle term can be integrated into something to do with sine inverse.
The first term and the last expanded can be dealt with using a sine substitution.

Very straightforward from there.

EDIT: On hindsight I think I could greatly shorten the length of this solution, perhaps by splitting the fractions of trig integral straight away.
