Question
Question: Integrate \(\dfrac{{dx}}{{{{\left( {1 - {e^{2x}}} \right)}^{\dfrac{1}{2}}}}}\)....
Integrate (1−e2x)21dx.
Solution
First assume 1−e2x=t2. Then transform dx in terms of dθ. After that change the original equation in the form of t. Then factor the denominator and apply partial fraction decomposition on the term. After that integrate the terms and apply log properties to get the desired result.
Complete step by step answer:
Let us assume the given integral as
⇒I=∫1−e2x1dx
Let us assume 1−e2x=t2.
Then, differentiate the function to get the value of dt,
⇒−2e2xdx=2tdt
Cancel out the common factors,
⇒tdt=−e2xdx ….. (1)
Now find the value of e2x from the assumption,
⇒1−e2x=t2
Move 1 to another part,
⇒−e2x=t2−1
Substitute the value in equation (1),
⇒tdt=(t2−1)dx
Divide both sides by (t2−1),
⇒dx=(t2−1)tdt
The new equation will be,
⇒I=∫t21×t2−1tdt
Simplify the terms,
⇒I=∫t1×t2−1tdt
Cancel out the common factors,
⇒I=∫t2−11dt
Factor the denominator,
⇒I=∫(t+1)(t−1)1dt
Now apply the partial fraction decomposition,
⇒I=∫(21×t−11−21×t+11)dt
Break the terms into two parts,
⇒I=∫21×t−11dt−∫21×t+11dt
Now, we know that,
∫af(x)dx=a∫f(x)dx
Apply on the above equation,
⇒I=21∫t−11dt−21∫t+11dt
Now integrate the terms,
⇒I=21ln(t−1)−21ln(t+1)
Now, we know that,
lnx−lny=lnyx
Using the above property,
⇒I=21lnt+1t−1
Put back the value t=1−e2x in the above integral I, we get
∴I=21ln1−e2x+11−e2x−1
Hence, the value of (1−e2x)21dx is 21ln1−e2x+11−e2x−1.
Note: Differentiation and integration are the two important concepts of calculus. Calculus is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of problems involving a continuous change in the values of quantities. Differentiation refers to simplifying a complex function into simpler functions. Integration generally refers to summing up the smaller function to form a bigger unit.
Indefinite integrals are those integrals that do not have any limit of integration. It has an arbitrary constant. Definite integrals are those integrals which have an upper and lower limit. Definite integral has two different values for the upper limit and lower limit when they are evaluated. The final value of a definite integral is the value of integral to the upper limit minus the value of the definite integral for the lower limit.
