Key Concepts and Formulas

  • Trigonometric Substitution: Integrals of the form (sinθ±cosθ)a+bsin2θdθ\int \frac{(\sin \theta \pm \cos \theta)}{a+b \sin 2\theta} d\theta can often be solved by substituting t=sinθcosθt = \sin \theta \mp \cos \theta.
  • Identity for sin2θ\sin 2\theta: The square of the substitution variable is related to sin2θ\sin 2\theta: (sinθcosθ)2=1sin2θ(\sin \theta - \cos \theta)^2 = 1 - \sin 2\theta and (sinθ+cosθ)2=1+sin2θ(\sin \theta + \cos \theta)^2 = 1 + \sin 2\theta. This allows us to express sin2θ\sin 2\theta in terms of tt.
  • Standard Integral Form: The integral dxa2x2=12alna+xax+C\int \frac{dx}{a^2 - x^2} = \frac{1}{2a} \ln \left| \frac{a+x}{a-x} \right| + C.

Step-by-Step Solution

Let the given integral be II. I=800π4(sinθ+cosθ9+16sin2θ)dθI = 80 \int\limits_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\left(\frac{\sin \theta+\cos \theta}{9+16 \sin 2 \theta}\right) d \theta

Step 1: Identify the substitution and its derivative. The numerator is (sinθ+cosθ)dθ(\sin \theta + \cos \theta) d\theta. This suggests the substitution t=sinθcosθt = \sin \theta - \cos \theta. Differentiating tt with respect to θ\theta: dt=(cosθ(sinθ))dθdt = (\cos \theta - (-\sin \theta)) d\theta dt=(cosθ+sinθ)dθdt = (\cos \theta + \sin \theta) d\theta This perfectly matches the numerator of the integrand.

Step 2: Express sin2θ\sin 2\theta in terms of the substitution variable tt. We know that t=sinθcosθt = \sin \theta - \cos \theta. Squaring both sides: t2=(sinθcosθ)2t^2 = (\sin \theta - \cos \theta)^2 t2=sin2θ+cos2θ2sinθcosθt^2 = \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta - 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta Using the identities sin2θ+cos2θ=1\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1 and sin2θ=2sinθcosθ\sin 2\theta = 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta: t2=1sin2θt^2 = 1 - \sin 2\theta Rearranging to solve for sin2θ\sin 2\theta: sin2θ=1t2\sin 2\theta = 1 - t^2

Step 3: Transform the denominator of the integrand. Substitute the expression for sin2θ\sin 2\theta into the denominator of the integrand: 9+16sin2θ=9+16(1t2)9 + 16 \sin 2\theta = 9 + 16(1 - t^2) =9+1616t2= 9 + 16 - 16t^2 =2516t2= 25 - 16t^2

Step 4: Change the limits of integration. The original limits are for θ\theta. We need to find the corresponding limits for tt.

  • When θ=0\theta = 0: t=sin0cos0=01=1t = \sin 0 - \cos 0 = 0 - 1 = -1.
  • When θ=π4\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}: t=sinπ4cosπ4=1212=0t = \sin \frac{\pi}{4} - \cos \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 0.

Step 5: Rewrite the integral in terms of tt. Substitute dtdt, the transformed denominator, and the new limits into the integral: I=8010dt2516t2I = 80 \int\limits_{-1}^{0} \frac{dt}{25 - 16t^2}

Step 6: Prepare the integrand for the standard integration formula. To apply the formula dxa2x2\int \frac{dx}{a^2 - x^2}, we need the denominator in the form a2x2a^2 - x^2. We can factor out 16 from the denominator: I=8010dt16(2516t2)I = 80 \int\limits_{-1}^{0} \frac{dt}{16 \left( \frac{25}{16} - t^2 \right)} I=801610dt(54)2t2I = \frac{80}{16} \int\limits_{-1}^{0} \frac{dt}{\left( \frac{5}{4} \right)^2 - t^2} I=510dt(54)2t2I = 5 \int\limits_{-1}^{0} \frac{dt}{\left( \frac{5}{4} \right)^2 - t^2} Here, a=54a = \frac{5}{4}.

Step 7: Apply the standard integration formula. Using the formula dxa2x2=12alna+xax\int \frac{dx}{a^2 - x^2} = \frac{1}{2a} \ln \left| \frac{a+x}{a-x} \right|, we get: I=5[12(54)ln54+t54t]10I = 5 \left[ \frac{1}{2 \left( \frac{5}{4} \right)} \ln \left| \frac{\frac{5}{4} + t}{\frac{5}{4} - t} \right| \right]_{-1}^{0} Simplify the coefficient: 12(54)=152=25\frac{1}{2 \left( \frac{5}{4} \right)} = \frac{1}{\frac{5}{2}} = \frac{2}{5}. I=5[25ln5+4t54t]10I = 5 \left[ \frac{2}{5} \ln \left| \frac{5+4t}{5-4t} \right| \right]_{-1}^{0} I=2[ln5+4t54t]10I = 2 \left[ \ln \left| \frac{5+4t}{5-4t} \right| \right]_{-1}^{0}

Step 8: Evaluate the definite integral using the limits. I=2(ln5+4(0)54(0)ln5+4(1)54(1))I = 2 \left( \ln \left| \frac{5+4(0)}{5-4(0)} \right| - \ln \left| \frac{5+4(-1)}{5-4(-1)} \right| \right) I=2(ln55ln545+4)I = 2 \left( \ln \left| \frac{5}{5} \right| - \ln \left| \frac{5-4}{5+4} \right| \right) I=2(ln1ln19)I = 2 \left( \ln |1| - \ln \left| \frac{1}{9} \right| \right) Since ln1=0\ln 1 = 0 and ln(19)=ln(91)=ln9\ln \left( \frac{1}{9} \right) = \ln (9^{-1}) = -\ln 9: I=2(0(ln9))I = 2 (0 - (-\ln 9)) I=2ln9I = 2 \ln 9 Using the logarithm property ln(ab)=blna\ln(a^b) = b \ln a, we can write ln9=ln(32)=2ln3\ln 9 = \ln (3^2) = 2 \ln 3. I=2(2ln3)I = 2 (2 \ln 3) I=4ln3I = 4 \ln 3

Common Mistakes & Tips

  • Substitution Choice: Ensure the chosen substitution's derivative matches the numerator. If the numerator was (cosθsinθ)(\cos \theta - \sin \theta), the substitution would be t=cosθ+sinθt = \cos \theta + \sin \theta.
  • Changing Limits: Always remember to change the limits of integration when performing a substitution in a definite integral.
  • Logarithm Simplification: Be careful with logarithmic properties, especially when evaluating ln(1)\ln(1) and ln(fraction)\ln(\text{fraction}). Simplifying ln9\ln 9 to 2ln32 \ln 3 is often necessary to match the options.

Summary

The integral was solved by recognizing a standard trigonometric substitution pattern. By letting t=sinθcosθt = \sin \theta - \cos \theta, the integrand was transformed into a form suitable for the standard integral dxa2x2\int \frac{dx}{a^2 - x^2}. After changing the limits of integration and applying the formula, the definite integral was evaluated, yielding 4ln34 \ln 3.

The final answer is 4log3\boxed{4 \log 3}.
