16:14 =16/14
64:60=64/60
16/14=64/60
(We r doing the cross thing)
16x60=14x64
960=896
Is 960 equivalent (equal) to 869 ? No .
So they r not equivalent because the result is not the same.

The 2 ratios are almost equivalent, but not quite. In order to tell if they are equivalent, there are a number of ways but the 2 most common are 1, finding the decimal equivalent of the fraction, and 2, finding the scale factor.

1: Take 16, divide by 14. You should get something around 1.142. Take 64, divide by 60. You should get something around 1.066666.... Not equivalent.

2: Find the scale factor between the 2. To find scale factor, divide the larger numerator and larger denominator by the smaller numerator and smaller numerator. 64/16, 60/14. Not equal.

I'm having trouble with #2. I've got it down to the part where it would be the integral of 5cos^3(pheta)/sin(pheta). I'm not sur

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\sqrt{25-x^2}}x\,\mathrm dx$

Setting $x=5\sin\theta$ , you have $\mathrm dx=5\cos\theta\,\mathrm d\theta$ . Then the integral becomes

$\displaystyle\int\frac{\sqrt{25-(5\sin\theta)^2}}{5\sin\theta}5\cos\theta\,\mathrm d\theta$
$\displaystyle\int\sqrt{25-25\sin^2\theta}\dfrac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}\,\mathrm d\theta$
$\displaystyle5\int\sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}\dfrac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}\,\mathrm d\theta$
$\displaystyle5\int\sqrt{\cos^2\theta}\dfrac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}\,\mathrm d\theta$

Now, $\sqrt{x^2}=|x|$ in general. But since we want our substitution $x=5\sin\theta$ to be invertible, we are tacitly assuming that we're working over a restricted domain. In particular, this means $\theta=\sin^{-1}\dfrac x5$ , which implies that $\left|\dfrac x5\right|\le1$ , or equivalently that $|\theta|\le\dfrac\pi2$ . Over this domain, $\cos\theta\ge0$ , so $\sqrt{\cos^2\theta}=|\cos\theta|=\cos\theta$ .

Long story short, this allows us to go from

$\displaystyle5\int\sqrt{\cos^2\theta}\dfrac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}\,\mathrm d\theta$

to

$\displaystyle5\int\cos\theta\dfrac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}\,\mathrm d\theta$
$\displaystyle5\int\dfrac{\cos^2\theta}{\sin\theta}\,\mathrm d\theta$

Computing the remaining integral isn't difficult. Expand the numerator with the Pythagorean identity to get

$\dfrac{\cos^2\theta}{\sin\theta}=\dfrac{1-\sin^2\theta}{\sin\theta}=\csc\theta-\sin\theta$

Then integrate term-by-term to get

$\displaystyle5\left(\int\csc\theta\,\mathrm d\theta-\int\sin\theta\,\mathrm d\theta\right)$
$=-5\ln|\csc\theta+\cot\theta|+\cos\theta+C$

Now undo the substitution to get the antiderivative back in terms of $x$ .

$=-5\ln\left|\csc\left(\sin^{-1}\dfrac x5\right)+\cot\left(\sin^{-1}\dfrac x5\right)\right|+\cos\left(\sin^{-1}\dfrac x5\right)+C$

and using basic trigonometric properties (e.g. Pythagorean theorem) this reduces to

$=-5\ln\left|\dfrac{5+\sqrt{25-x^2}}x\right|+\sqrt{25-x^2}+C$
