Solution
Trigonometric integration
Find .
Hint
Group and factor. Is there an identity that links and ?
Turn the product into a difference of cosines.
Integrate each part: one is a reverse chain rule.
, so you divide by as well as by : the denominator is .
. The minus sign in the question turns it into .
Answer · (a)
.
On intervals with sin2x≠0.
Factor the cotangent terms
. The cotangent terms require ; the antiderivative is used on each connected interval avoiding those poles.
Product to sum
From with and . This is in the formula list (MF26).
Integrate the cotangent part
Let . Then , so the integral is .
Integrate the cosines
and , each times the factor .
