Re: MX2 Integration Marathon

people utilised integration by parts at my school to solve it so yea..
yeah i guess but it's easier to split the numerator by long division or inspection. could definitely come up in 3u and maybe even 2u

Re: MX2 Integration Marathon

From the expanded version of the product rule for differentiating a product of three functions (y=uvw becomes y'=uvw'+uv'w+u'vw), the answer is arcsinx.arccosx.arctanx

(BTW, one of my pet peeves is writing such an integral without brackets.)

Re: MX2 Integration Marathon

I did it by using a substitution, but i think it can be done using IBP without a sub (not sure tho)

Re: MX2 Integration Marathon

integrate from pi/2 to 0, 1/(2sin^x + cos^2x),
By using s^2+c^2 = 1, then multiplying top and bottom by secant squared
