Answer:

Will is 34% taller than Wanda, so Will's height is 134% of Wanda's height.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Will is 34% of Wanda's height, we can conclude that he has all of Wanda's height plus 34% of that height. All the height of Wanda represents 100% as it is referring to a complete system. From this we can conclude that Will is 100% more 34% of Wanda's height. Thus we can conclude that if Will is 34% higher than Wanda, then Will's height is 134% (100% + 34%) of Wanda's height.

The easiest way for me to do this is too set their heights to actual numbers. Say Wanda is 100 feet tall (which I know isn’t a thing, but 100 is always an easy number for percentages.) If will is 34% taller than 100 feet, 1% is 1 foot, so Will is 134 feet tall. 134 / 100 is 134%, so will’s height is 134% of Wanda/s height. Hope this helps!

Replace x with π/2 - x to get the equivalent integral

$\displaystyle \int_{-\frac\pi2}^{\frac\pi2} \cos(\cot(x) - \tan(x)) \, dx$

but the integrand is even, so this is really just

$\displaystyle 2 \int_0^{\frac\pi2} \cos(\cot(x) - \tan(x)) \, dx$

Substitute x = 1/2 arccot(u/2), which transforms the integral to

$\displaystyle 2 \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{\cos(u)}{u^2+4} \, du$

There are lots of ways to compute this. What I did was to consider the complex contour integral

$\displaystyle \int_\gamma \frac{e^{iz}}{z^2+4} \, dz$

where γ is a semicircle in the complex plane with its diameter joining (-R, 0) and (R, 0) on the real axis. A bound for the integral over the arc of the circle is estimated to be

$\displaystyle \left|\int_{z=Re^{i0}}^{z=Re^{i\pi}} f(z) \, dz\right| \le \frac{\pi R}{|R^2-4|}$
