Key Concepts and Formulas

  • Trigonometric Identity: (sinx+cosx)2=sin2x+cos2x+2sinxcosx=1+sin2x(|\sin x| + |\cos x|)^2 = \sin^2 x + \cos^2 x + 2|\sin x||\cos x| = 1 + |\sin 2x|.
  • Periodicity of Integrals: If a function f(x)f(x) is periodic with period TT, then 0nTf(x)dx=n0Tf(x)dx\int_0^{nT} f(x) \, dx = n \int_0^T f(x) \, dx for any integer nn.
  • Property of Absolute Value Integrals: abf(x)dx\int_a^b |f(x)| \, dx involves splitting the integral at the roots of f(x)f(x) within the interval [a,b][a, b].

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Simplify the integrand. We are asked to evaluate the integral 020π(sinx+cosx)2dx\int_{0}^{20 \pi}(|\sin x|+|\cos x|)^{2} d x. First, let's simplify the term (sinx+cosx)2(|\sin x|+|\cos x|)^2. Using the identity (a+b)2=a2+b2+2ab(a+b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab, we get: (sinx+cosx)2=(sinx)2+(cosx)2+2sinxcosx(|\sin x|+|\cos x|)^2 = (|\sin x|)^2 + (|\cos x|)^2 + 2|\sin x||\cos x| Since (sinx)2=sin2x(|\sin x|)^2 = \sin^2 x and (cosx)2=cos2x(|\cos x|)^2 = \cos^2 x, we have: =sin2x+cos2x+2sinxcosx= \sin^2 x + \cos^2 x + 2|\sin x \cos x| Using the Pythagorean identity sin2x+cos2x=1\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1 and the double angle identity sin2x=2sinxcosx\sin 2x = 2\sin x \cos x, we get: =1+sin2x= 1 + |\sin 2x| So, the integral becomes 020π(1+sin2x)dx\int_{0}^{20 \pi}(1 + |\sin 2x|) d x.

Step 2: Analyze the periodicity of the integrand. The integrand is f(x)=1+sin2xf(x) = 1 + |\sin 2x|. The function sin2x\sin 2x has a period of 2π2=π\frac{2\pi}{2} = \pi. The function sin2x|\sin 2x| also has a period of π\pi. To see this, sin(2(x+π))=sin(2x+2π)=sin(2x)|\sin(2(x+\pi))| = |\sin(2x+2\pi)| = |\sin(2x)|. Therefore, the function 1+sin2x1 + |\sin 2x| is periodic with a period T=πT = \pi.

Step 3: Use the property of definite integrals over a period. The integral is from 00 to 20π20\pi. Since the period of the integrand is π\pi, we are integrating over n=20n=20 periods. We can use the property 0nTf(x)dx=n0Tf(x)dx\int_0^{nT} f(x) \, dx = n \int_0^T f(x) \, dx. Here, n=20n=20 and T=πT=\pi. So, the integral can be rewritten as: 020π(1+sin2x)dx=200π(1+sin2x)dx\int_{0}^{20 \pi}(1 + |\sin 2x|) d x = 20 \int_{0}^{\pi}(1 + |\sin 2x|) d x.

Step 4: Evaluate the integral over one period. Now we need to evaluate 0π(1+sin2x)dx\int_{0}^{\pi}(1 + |\sin 2x|) d x. This can be split into two integrals: 0π1dx+0πsin2xdx\int_{0}^{\pi} 1 \, dx + \int_{0}^{\pi} |\sin 2x| \, dx.

The first part is straightforward: 0π1dx=[x]0π=π0=π\int_{0}^{\pi} 1 \, dx = [x]_0^\pi = \pi - 0 = \pi.

For the second part, 0πsin2xdx\int_{0}^{\pi} |\sin 2x| \, dx, we need to consider the sign of sin2x\sin 2x in the interval [0,π][0, \pi]. Let u=2xu = 2x. When x=0x=0, u=0u=0. When x=πx=\pi, u=2πu=2\pi. So, du=2dxdu = 2 \, dx, which means dx=12dudx = \frac{1}{2} du. The integral becomes: 02πsinu12du=1202πsinudu\int_{0}^{2\pi} |\sin u| \frac{1}{2} du = \frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{2\pi} |\sin u| \, du.

The function sinu|\sin u| is non-negative. In the interval [0,2π][0, 2\pi], sinu\sin u is positive for u(0,π)u \in (0, \pi) and negative for u(π,2π)u \in (\pi, 2\pi). So, 02πsinudu=0πsinudu+π2π(sinu)du\int_{0}^{2\pi} |\sin u| \, du = \int_{0}^{\pi} \sin u \, du + \int_{\pi}^{2\pi} (-\sin u) \, du.

Let's evaluate these: 0πsinudu=[cosu]0π=(cosπ)(cos0)=((1))(1)=1+1=2\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin u \, du = [-\cos u]_0^\pi = (-\cos \pi) - (-\cos 0) = (-(-1)) - (-1) = 1 + 1 = 2. π2π(sinu)du=[cosu]π2π=cos(2π)cos(π)=1(1)=1+1=2\int_{\pi}^{2\pi} (-\sin u) \, du = [\cos u]_\pi^{2\pi} = \cos(2\pi) - \cos(\pi) = 1 - (-1) = 1 + 1 = 2.

Therefore, 02πsinudu=2+2=4\int_{0}^{2\pi} |\sin u| \, du = 2 + 2 = 4. Substituting this back into the integral for sin2x|\sin 2x|: 0πsin2xdx=12×4=2\int_{0}^{\pi} |\sin 2x| \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 = 2.

Now, combine the parts of the integral over one period: 0π(1+sin2x)dx=π+2\int_{0}^{\pi}(1 + |\sin 2x|) d x = \pi + 2.

Step 5: Calculate the final integral value. We found that 0π(1+sin2x)dx=π+2\int_{0}^{\pi}(1 + |\sin 2x|) d x = \pi + 2. The original integral is 200π(1+sin2x)dx20 \int_{0}^{\pi}(1 + |\sin 2x|) d x. So, the value of the integral is 20(π+2)20 (\pi + 2).

Common Mistakes & Tips

  • Forgetting the absolute value: If you forget the absolute value in sin2x|\sin 2x|, you might incorrectly assume sin2x\sin 2x is always positive or integrate it directly, leading to an incorrect result.
  • Incorrect period calculation: Ensure you correctly identify the period of sin2x|\sin 2x|. While sin2x\sin 2x has period π\pi, sin2x|\sin 2x| also has period π\pi.
  • Integration limits for substitution: When performing a substitution like u=2xu=2x, be careful to change the integration limits accordingly.

Summary

The problem involves integrating a function containing absolute values of trigonometric terms over a large interval. We first simplified the integrand using trigonometric identities to get 1+sin2x1 + |\sin 2x|. Recognizing that the integrand is periodic with period π\pi, we used the property of definite integrals over a multiple of the period to reduce the problem to integrating over one period. We then evaluated the integral over one period by splitting it into parts and handling the absolute value by considering the sign of sin2x\sin 2x. Finally, we multiplied the result by the number of periods.

The final answer is 20(π+2)\boxed{20(\pi+2)}.
