I got something like (assuming no mistakes i'm pretty sure my method was correct). :

$I = \frac{4(b-a)}{(e^b+e^a) \cdot \sqrt{(e^b+e^a)^2 -(b-a)^2}} + C$

That's not even correct for $a=\log{2}, b=\log{3}$ , which is $\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{6}}$

If I recall correctly, the derivation contains inverse trigonometry.

Well what I did was let : $u = e^x - \frac{e^b + e^a}{2}$

$$ Then $ u = (\frac{e^b+e^a}{2}) \sin{\theta}$

$$ My integral was an easy $ \frac{1}{1 + \sin{\theta}}$

The answer is $\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{e^{a+b}}}$ , which Mathematica correctly verifies.

Re: MX2 2016 Integration Marathon

For anyone concerned with the above integral, don't waste your time.

It is, at minimum, expressible using the real and imaginary parts of the 9^th, 18^th, and 36^th roots of unity, and is extremely horrible, even if it does have a closed form primitive.

Re: MX2 2016 Integration Marathon

However, on the off note that Leehuan did make a typo...

$\int \frac{x^{\frac{2}{3}}}{(1+x^{\frac{5}{3}})^2}\text{d}x$

Which can easily be done by inspection.

Haha lol no typo. My lecturer just went through it over 5min

Yeah. Don't try to attempt that question unless you have a whole day to spend on it.

1: Clear denominators and reverse the chain rule to yield 1/11 × log(sin¹¹x + cos¹¹x) + C

2: Tedious and trivial by partial fractional decomposition

3: The hopeful substitutions u² = tanx, v = u + 1/u, will yield the answer of arccot((√tanx + √cotx)/2) + C

Can't deal with α so expand the integral into two different integrals.

Integral 1:

$$\noindent$ \cos{\alpha} \int \frac{\tan{x}}{\cos^2{x}} \sqrt{\tan{\left(x+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)}} \text{d}x \quad \quad \quad u=x+\frac{\pi}{4} \\ \cos{\alpha} \int \frac{\tan{u} -1}{2(\tan{u} +1)^3} \sec^2{u} \sqrt{\tan{u}} \text{d}x \quad t^2 = \tan{u} \\ \cos{\alpha} \int \frac{(t^2-1)t^2}{(t^2+1)^3} \text{d}t \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad t = \tan{\theta} \\ \cos{\alpha} \int -\sin^2{\theta} \cos{2\theta} \, \text{d}\theta \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad $double angles$ \\ \frac{\cos{\alpha}}{2} \int \cos^2{2\theta} - \cos{2\theta} \, \text{d}\theta \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad $and again...$ \\ \frac{\cos{\alpha}}{4} \int 1 + \cos{4\theta} - 2\cos{2\theta}\, \text{d}\theta \\ \frac{\cos{\alpha}}{4} \left( \theta + \frac{\sin{4\theta}}{4} - \sin{2\theta} \right) = \frac{\cos{\alpha}}{4}\left( \tan^{-1}{t} + \frac{t(1-t^2)}{(1+t^2)^2} - \frac{2t}{1+t^2}\right)$

$$\noindent$ \frac{\cos{\alpha}}{4} \left( \tan^{-1}{\sqrt{\tan{u}}} - \frac{1+3\tan{u}}{(1+\tan{u})^2}\sqrt{\tan{u}} \right) \\ \frac{\cos{\alpha}}{4} \left( \tan^{-1}{\sqrt{\frac{1+\tan{x}}{1-\tan{x}}}} - \dfrac{1+3\frac{1+\tan{x}}{1-\tan{x}}}{(1+\frac{1+\tan{x}}{1-\tan{x}})^2} \right) \\ \frac{\cos{\alpha}}{8} \left( \tan^{-1}{\sqrt{\cot^2{x}-1}} + (\tan{x}-1)(2+\tan{x}) \right)$

Integral 2:

Then the complete integral follows as the sum of the two prior integrals.

$$\noindent Evaluate:$ \\ \int \frac{2\cos{\theta}}{25+16\sin{2\theta}} \text{d}\theta$

juantheron · Aug 8, 2016

Re: MX2 2016 Integration Marathon

$Let $I = \int\frac{2\cos \theta}{25+16\sin 2\theta}d\theta = \int\frac{\cos \theta+\sin\theta}{25+16\sin 2\theta}d\theta + \int\frac{\cos \theta-\sin \theta}{25+16\sin 2\theta}d\theta$

$So $I = \int\frac{\cos \theta+\sin \theta}{25+16\left[1-(\sin \theta-\cos \theta)^2\right]}d\theta+\int\frac{\cos \theta-\sin \theta}{25+16\left[(\sin \theta+\cos \theta)^2-1\right]}d\theta$

$Put $\sin \theta -\cos \theta = t$\;, Then $(\sin \theta+\cos \theta)d\theta = dt$

$and $(\sin \theta+\cos \theta) = u\;,$ Then $(\cos \theta-\sin \theta)d\theta = du$

$So $I = \int\frac{1}{41-16t^2}dt+\int\frac{1}{9+16u^2}du$

$= \frac{1}{16}\int\frac{1}{\left(\frac{ \sqrt{41}}{4}\right)^2-t^2}dt+\frac{1}{16}\int\frac{1}{\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^2+u^2}du$

$So $I = \frac{1}{32\sqrt{41}}\ln\left|\frac{\sqrt{41}+t}{ \sqrt{41}-t}\right|+\frac{1}{12}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{4u}{3}\right)+\mathcal{C}$

$So $I = \frac{1}{32\sqrt{41}}\ln \left|\frac{\sqrt{41}+\sin \theta-\cos \theta}{\sqrt{41}-\sin \theta+\cos \theta}\right|+\frac{1}{12}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{4(\sin \theta+\cos \theta)}{3}\right)+\mathcal{C}$
