im getting 2pi but i have been on drugs lately someone pls confirm
,w integrate (5sin(x)+3cos(x))/(sin(x)+cos(x)) from 0 to pi/2
i trust your process
ah thanks

,w sin^-1 x = tan^-1 y
,w differentiate x/(1-x^2)^1/2 -1
Let's look at a slightly more general case.
(a cos(x) + b sin(x))/(cos(x) + sin(x)) = (a cos(x) + b sin(x))(cos(x) - sin(x))/(cos(x)^2 - sin(x)^2) = (a cos(x)^2 + (b - a)sin(x)cos(x) - b sin(x)^2)/cos(2x) = (1/2)(a (1 + cos(2x)) + (b - a)sin(2x) - b (1 - cos(2x)))/cos(2x) = (1/2)(a - b + (b - a)sin(2x) + (a + b)cos(2x))/cos(2x)
Let's transform this a bit more.
(a cos(x) + b sin(x))/(cos(x) + sin(x)) = (1/2)(a + b) + (1/2)(a - b)(1 - sin(2x))/cos(2x)
That last term is cot(x + π/4). So:
(a cos(x) + b sin(x))/(cos(x) + sin(x)) = (1/2)(a + b) + (1/2)(a - b)cot(x + π/4)
And now it's easy, since cot(x + π/4) is odd around x = π/4.
If you use the kings rule (or equivalently the substitution y=pi/2-x) it becomes quite simple (considering what the bounds of integration are)
Ah, yeah, that's true.
That was the key
Did u actually integrate it indefinitely
Yeah. Why not? 😄
Caus no point literally!
Well, I was interested in the result.
That approach is longer, but it's not like it's invalid.
I multiplied the numerator and denominator by (cos(x) - sin(x)), then simplified and applied some identities.
if it was indefinite integral
Nr=A(d/dx Dr)+B(Dr)
works
Nr=numerator
Dr=denominator
it also works for $\frac{ae^x+be^{-x}}{ce^x+de^{-x}}$
pratham
Oh, great idea! Didn't think of that.
Oh, that's pretty much the same, then, as we can just rewrite everything in terms of complex exponents.
we were thought that under 'methods of integration'
different forms of integrals were classified
and they had a common approach
I see. We were also taught in this way, but we didn't have this approach. Good to know!
We are taught this for polynomials though
