Calculus 2 master needed; stuck on evaluating the integral please show steps

8x%2F2%29tan%5E5%28x%2F2%29%7D%20%5C%2C%20dx" id="TexFormula1" title="\int {sec(x/2)tan^5(x/2)} \, dx" alt="\int {sec(x/2)tan^5(x/2)} \, dx" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula"> I am thinking that we want to split up the tan^5, making \int {sec(x/2)tan^2 tan^3(x/2)} \, dx and then \int {sec(x/2)*sec^2x-1* tan^3(x/2)} \, dx but I am not sure this is correct. Can anyone help? The thing I am unsure of is that tan^3 is still odd, so would we do the same thing again and factor so we will be left with just tanx?

Answer:

= 2 (sec (x/2) - <u>2sec³(x/2) </u> +  <u>sec⁵(x/2)</u> ) + C

                              3                     5

Step-by-step explanation:

∫sec(x/2) tan⁵(x/2) dx

apply u substitute u = x/2

= ∫sec(u) tan⁵(u) * 2du

= 2 *  ∫sec(u) tan⁴(u) tan(u) du

= 2 *  ∫sec(u) (tan²(u))² tan(u) du

= 2 *  ∫sec(u) (-1 + sec²(u))² tan(u) du

apply u substitute v = sec(u)

= 2 * ∫(-1 + v²)² dv

expand

= 2 * ∫1 - 2v² + v⁴ dv

sum

= 2 (v - <u>2v³</u> +<u> v⁵</u> )

             3      5

substitute it back

= 2 (sec (x/2) - <u>2sec³(x/2) </u> +  <u>sec⁵(x/2)</u> )

                              3                     5

add constant to the solution.

= 2 (sec (x/2) - <u>2sec³(x/2) </u> +  <u>sec⁵(x/2)</u> ) + C

                              3                     5

Answer:

\int \sec(\frac{x}{2})\tan^5({\frac{x}{2}})dx=\frac{2\sec^5(\frac{1}{2}x)}{5}-\frac{4\sec^3(\frac{1}{2}x)}{3}+2\sec(\frac{1}{2}x)+C

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the integral:

\int \sec(\frac{x}{2})\tan^5({\frac{x}{2}})dx

First, let's use substitution to get rid of the x/2. I'm going to use the variable y. So, let y be x/2. Thus:

y=\frac{x}{2}\\dy=\frac{1}{2}dx\\2dy=dx

Therefore, the integral is:

=2\int \sec(y)\tan^5(y)dy

Now, as you had done, let's expand the tangent term. However, let's do it to the fourth. Thus:

=2\int \sec(y)\tan^4(y)\tan(y)dy

Now, we can use a variation of the trigonometric identity:

\tan^2(y)+1=\sec^2(y)

So:

\tan^2(y)=\sec^2(y)-1

Substitute this into the integral. Note that tan^4(x) is the same as (tan^2(x))^2. Thus:

=2\int \sec(y)(\tan^2(y))^2\tan(y)dy\\=2\int \sec(y)(\sec^2(y)-1)^2\tan(y)dy

Now, we can use substitution. We will use it for sec(x). Recall what the derivative of secant is. Thus:

u=\sec(y)\\du=\sec(y)\tan(y)dy

Substitute:

2\int (\sec^2(y)-1)^2(\sec(y)\tan(y))dy\\=2\int(u^2-1)^2 du

Expand the binomial:

=2\int u^4-2u^2+1du

Spilt the integral:

=2(\int u^4 du+\int-2u^2du+\int +1du)

Factor out the constant multiple:

=2(\int u^4du-2\int u^2du+\int(1)du)

Reverse Power Rule:

=2(\frac{u^{4+1}}{4+1}-2(\frac{u^{2+1}}{2+1})+(\frac{u^{0+1}}{0+1}}))

Simplify:

=2(\frac{u^5}{5}-\frac{2u^3}{3}+u)

Distribute the 2:

=\frac{2u^5}{5}-\frac{4u^3}{3}+2u

Substitute back secant for u:

=\frac{2\sec^5(y)}{5}-\frac{4\sec^3(y)}{3}+2\sec(y)

And substitute back 1/2x for y. Therefore:

=\frac{2\sec^5(\frac{1}{2}x)}{5}-\frac{4\sec^3(\frac{1}{2}x)}{3}+2\sec(\frac{1}{2}x)

And, finally, C:

=\frac{2\sec^5(\frac{1}{2}x)}{5}-\frac{4\sec^3(\frac{1}{2}x)}{3}+2\sec(\frac{1}{2}x)+C

And we're done!

What fraction of 1 pint is 1 cup
Aleonysh [2.5K]
<span>The answer is that the fraction of 1/2 pint is 1 cup. To solve this you must know the equivalence between pints and cups, and use the notion of proportions. Two cups equal one pint. Then you can state this proportion: 1 pint / 2 cups = x pint / 1 cup. When you solve for x you get: x = 1/2. Which means that 1 cup is 1/2 of 1 pint. </span>
