Question
Question: If the integral of \(\left( \sin 2x-\cos 2x \right)dx=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}}.\sin \left( 2x-a \right)+b...
If the integral of (sin2x−cos2x)dx=21.sin(2x−a)+b, then find a and b.
Solution
For solving this question you should know about the integration of trigonometric functions. The integration of trigonometric functions can be solved by a general process of integrating. But in this problem both the solutions are given and asked for the values of variables a and b, so we will solve this and then by comparing both the answers we will get the values of variables a and b.
Complete step by step answer:
According to our question it is asked to us to find the values of a and bif the integral of (sin2x−cos2x)dx=21.sin(2x−a)+b. So, if we solve to the integration of sin2x−cos2x, then we find that:
⇒∫(sin2x−cos2x)dx=21.sin(2x−a)+b⇒∫(sin2x)dx−∫cos2x.dx=21.sin(2x−a)+b
So, by using the further basic formulas of integration, we will get,
⇒(−21cos2x−21sin2x)+c=21sin(2x−a)+b⇒2sin2x.cosa−2cos2x.sina=(−21cos2x−21sin2x)⇒cosa=−21,sina=21
So, if we take the inverse on both sides then we can get the value of a=4π. And by taking the LHS as 21sin(2x+45π)+c , we will get as follows,
=21sin(2x−a)+b
So, the values of a and bare −45π and constant respectively.
Note: In a right angled triangle the hypotenuse, the base (adjacent) and the perpendicular (opposite), that is the three sides of a right-angled triangle are from where the trigonometric ratios are derived. There are three primary trigonometric ratios in maths which are also known as trigonometric identities. And here these are all used to solve these questions. The formulas are as follows: cosθ=hypotenuseadjacent and sinθ=hypotenuseopposite.
