integration of sin2x/1+sin2x
Answers
Answer:
Answer:
sin 2 x 1 + cos 2 x d x
ln ( 1 + cos 2 x ) + C
Explanation:
At first glance, this one seems like a toughie - but it in fact can be solved with a clever application of trig identities.
Note that
d d x cos 2 x = d d x ( cos x ) 2 = 2 ⋅ − sin x ⋅ cos x = − 2 sin x cos x
and sin 2 x = 2 sin x cos x
These two results are almost exactly the same, differing only by a negative sign. But what does it mean in the course of our problem?
Well, look what happens when we let
u = cos 2 x
-> We also need to replace (d x)
In this
u -substitution, as follows:
u = cos 2 x d u d x = − 2 sin x cos x → d u = − 2 sin x cos x d x
Before we apply this substitution, look at the modified integral (which has
sin 2 x
-> Replaced with its equivalent 2 sin x cos x ): ∫ 2 sin x cos x 1 + cos 2 x d x
