How do you evaluate ∫9+sin2xcosxdx ?
Solution
We should solve this problem by using substitutions. Here we can substitute sin x as y. Then you can use some formulas to solve the integral and finally get the answer to this integral.
Complete step by step solution:
According to the problem, we are asked to find the integral of the given equation, that is ∫9+sin2xcosxdx. We take the equation as equation 1.
∫9+sin2xcosxdx--- ( 1 )
Therefore, by using the substitution, where we substitute sinx with y, we get
x=sinx ⇒sin−1x=y ---- (2)
∴dx=cosydy---- (3)
Using the equation 2 and equation 3, if we substitute them in equation 1, we get:
⇒∫9+sin2xcosxdx=∫9+y21dy
Here, we can now divide with 1/9 on both the numerator and the denominator in the above equation.
⇒∫9+sin2xcosxdx=91∫1+9y21dy
⇒∫9+sin2xcosxdx=91∫1+(3y)21dy --- (3)
Now, we again use substitution to substitute 3y with z. Therefore, we get:
⇒3y=z⇒dy=3dz ---- (4)
Now, after substituting the value in 4 in equation 3, we get:
⇒∫9+sin2xcosxdx=91∫1+z23dz
⇒∫9+sin2xcosxdx=31∫1+z21dz ---- (5)
We know that dxd(tan−1x)=1+x21. Therefore, using this in equation 5, we get:
⇒∫9+sin2xcosxdx=31tan−1(z)+c=31tan−1(3y)+c=31tan−1(3sinx)+c
⇒∫9+sin2xcosxdx=31tan−1(3sinx)+c ---- Final answer
So, we have found the derivative of the given equation ∫9+sin2xcosxdx as ∫9+sin2xcosxdx=31tan−1(3sinx)+c.
Therefore, the solution of the given equation ∫9+sin2xcosxdx is ∫9+sin2xcosxdx=31tan−1(3sinx)+c.
Note: We should be careful while doing all the substitutions. If one substitution goes wrong, the total answer may go wrong. Also, if you want to verify your answer, you could differentiate the answer you got. If after differentiating you get back the question as your answer, then your answer is correct otherwise check where you went wrong.
