Question
Question: The value of \(\int {\cos e{c^{ - 1}}x dx, x > 1.} \)...
The value of ∫cosec−1xdx,x>1.
Solution
Here, Given the function∫cosec−1xdx,x>1. to integrate. To solve this function we have to use the method known as Integration by Parts. The formula for this method is u∫vdx−∫dxdu∫vdx. By putting the values of functions in this formula we will get the solution.
Complete step-by-step solution:
Here, Given the trigonometric equation and we need to solve it.
Given equation is ∫cosec−1x,dx,x>1. or we can write it as ∫1∗cosec−1xdx.
While using the method of Integration by parts we have to separate the u& v values of the equation using the LIATE rule.
Where,
L= Logarithmic
I= Inverse Trigonometric
A= Algebraic
T= Trigonometric
E= Exponential
By which serially the value of u&v are elected. That means the value of u is cosec−1x because it is Inverse Trigonometric & value of v is 1 or x0 which is Algebraic. (We knowx0=1.)
So,
u=cosec−1x , v = 1
Substitute these values in formula,
Equation become,
⇒ cosec−1x∫1dx−∫dxd(cosec−1x)∫1dx _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _(1)
Some Important formulas,
⇒ ∫xndx=n+1xn+1
⇒ ∫x0dx=0+1x0+1=x and,
⇒dxd(cosec−1x)=xx2−1−1
So, by substituting these values in equation (1),
(1)⇒ xcosec−1x−∫xx2−1−1×xdx
⇒xcosec−1x+∫x2−1dx
We know,
∫x2−a2dx=log∣x+x2−a2∣+c
⇒xcosec−1x+log∣x+x2−1∣+c
Therefore, the solution of ∫cosec−1xdx,x>1. is ⇒xcosec−1x+log∣x+x2−1∣+c.
Note: Note that we cannot directly integrate inverse trigonometric functions. We have to use some relations and formulas. Here the most important part is selecting the values of u and v. If we select the wrong values of u and v, we will get the wrong answer.
